tbh, i had always assumed that the quiet nature of the 2nd octave was down to the speaker not being able to handle the lower frequency! (bass wise anyway!)

ya mine is the same. i think theyre all like that. you can hear it a little better with fuzz or distortion but i think the 2nd octave is a pretty low frequency
Here's a link for ya! Equal loudness contours & audiometry test. Its a shockwave grid with frequencies on the X & dB on the Y. As you'll see, the lower the frequency, the more volume you need to hear it. Another intersting thing of course is testing your hearing range.
