IB subwoofer cones are "unloaded" at all frequencies. Excursion is the limiting factor. If you run out of excursion, you need more displacement. Many IBs generate clean output down into the single digits. The DC filters in most consumer electronics serve to high pass around 5 Hz, which works out very well. Drywall cracking infrasonics are where its at! Don't throw it away!
I was thinking the same thing.

I can get well over 90dB at 9 feet at 10Hz (RS SPL meter uncorrected) from my 4 x 15" IB with virtually no cone movement at all.

One day I'll double the number of drivers and finally get some real bass out of it!

I don't need a high pass filter. I just need more turbo boost!
