Well actually with HPF set at 65Hz and sound setting lound, you still get bass which is more than the normal sound setting. However the frequency at which the bass is coming is more within the spectrum at which the speaker doesnt distort.
Please try this if you have a Sony set, and see for yourself. Of course, speakers are not optimized for lower frequencies, thats why ppl go for subwoofers and bass tube. However this is a nice workaround if you dont have sub or a bass tube.
Aseem, you may get louder sound with that setting but that is not the same as getting 30 or 40 Hz from a well designed subwoofer. When you set the HPF cutoff to 65Hz, all frequencies above 65Hz will be amplified. Maybe it is loud but not true bass. And obviously by using the loud feature, you are pushing the driver cones closer to their mechanical limits which will destroy the voice coil.
