All I know is that the length of the wave determines its ability to pass through various obstacles. Deeper notes (sub-woofers) have the longest wave lengths and therefore are less critical as far as placement and aiming goes.

Higher notes become increasingly more difficult to aim properly. I hope I'm not stating the obvious here, but the lowest notes can easily penetrate concrete walls. Most of us know this from observation, but the physics that are involved are also good to be aware of when making decisions.
