What is meant by subwoofer room pressurization?


I've recently been researching some subwoofers and people frequently mention the fact that they pressurize the room, supposedly resulting in better sound, not just better bass. Could somebody please explain this to me? I've searched other threads, but to no avail.

Thanks in advance,

That happens when the frequency produced by the sub has a longer wavelength than the room can support along any of its dimensions. Usually this occurs below 100Hz (11' wavelength).
