Sub Bass is one of Subtractors specialties.
There are plenty of presets,
Dirty South Bass
Hyper Bottom
Chronic Bass
LA Riot Bass
and countless presets created by users.
Most are just Sine Wave oscillators with the Amp Envelope tweaked with maybe some lfo pitch oscillation for modulation wheel.
Sub Bass can sound good with compression, lo pass filtering (needed occasionally), and suprisingly hi pass filtering (esp with resonance).
Sub Bass is the simplest synth programs to learn how to program. The only trick to Sub Bass (and this is the tough part), is how to properly arrange it and mix it in a track.
Sometimes people will go overboard and use like 10 lo frequency sounds and wonder why their mix sounds like crap.
808 Booms and Sub Basses typically don't well together simultaneously (alternating them in the track can work well though).
