Try a bit of a softer reed too. Relaxing is definitely a MUST in the lowest notes of any saxaphone. Also, don't be frightened if these notes tend to blast. In my opinion, it's about as hard to get the low sax notes soft as it is to get a clarinets thumb and register key C to sound softly. Both take lots of practice and "finesseing" of the instrument. (I know it's spelled wrong, but you know what I mean).
