Sub Bass vs. Bass

[DJ B-Stee]

What's the difference? i had a sub bass in one of my tracks and it only showed up when i threw the track into my car with my subwoofer. then it just overpowered everything. whats the diff between subbass and regular bass?

Sub Bass is usually any frequency below what regular speakers can produce (usually around 40hz and down). Most home speakers roll of a lot in that region. Most studio monitors do too. You'll usually need some type of sub woofer and a good power amp to reproduce those low frequencies cleanly.
