Thanks everyone! I've bought a number of discs recommended in this thread!

Now, I am trying to dial in my sub towers. I've done my test tone CD which has individual test tone tracks from 40 hz all the way down to 15 hz, but they can only take one so far.

Are there any recordings covering 40hz to sub 20hz that might help me fine tune this further?
Its ok if there is other instruments involved. Perhaps I'm wrong, but don't think that recordings with just upright bass, or just organ do the trick.
Perhaps more organ, upright bass and drums ala Patricia Barber's Companion?

Since, I haven't bought every track/album recommended in this thread, a subset of the previous recommendations would be totally onside.

While not directly instructing of what the end goal is, if you've been playing with test tone tracks, pick up a MiniDSP UMIK-1, a mic stand, and download the free REW and make the process much easier and more useful. MiniDSP has some great application notes online. Setting up a stereo output signal from a laptop is a relatively simple matter, and the insight you can gain to the adjustments you are making can be significant. Being able to better see what sort of changes are happening at your seat from adjustments you are making can help you determine what settings you want to compare with the many great tracks in this thread to determine your final preference.

if you want one song to dial in your deep bsss I can tell you I’ve played it a 1000 times to dial in my bass

Welcome To My World by Depeche Mofe. The first minute of the song is all you need
You Tube video doesn’t do it justice

What HiFi put out a list of suggested bass tracks awhile ago. It's a good variety of stuff. The associated article also has nice quick descriptions of what to look for and why each track was selected.
