Unless your organ recordings contain notes from one or more 32 foot pipes then 20 Hz is plenty for any A/V use. if you do have any recordings with 32 foot pipes then no, you will need something like a Bag End 18 inch with the electronic controls to give you flat down to 16Hz.
I don't have such a subwoofer yet (I do have dreams). I once took a theater organ recording I have of an organ with three 32 foot pipes to a huge Equipment store where they had a 24" Parasound GMAS woofer.
It created the sensation of the whole building swaying.
