Since bass frequencies have long wavelengths this in a function of not only the system producing the bass but also the cabin/room in which the bass is being produced.
WIth using resorting to Laplace and z transforms and Fourier Series and Integrals this is the simplest answer I can offer. |
You are right Navin but good driver does make difference. And there are some which do sound like drumskin
reproducing multiple note bass with no lumpiness at snail speed.
