Look at any good audio or radio handbook and you will see that for maximum 
intelligibility on the radio, you DO NOT want response below 350 Hz.  That 
detracts from hearing the maximum clarity of signal and as someone said 
simply wastes power.

Speech response for optimum communication extends from 300 to 3kHz.  Western 
Electric and Bell Labs proved this decades ago, and it is still the better 
way to set up a radio for audio response for ham communications.  Remember, 
hams are to use the minimum power and bandwidth needed for a given mode, NOT 
have "high fidelity".
