If you want to feel it in your chest you need to try to optimize the frequency response for around 60-80hz. I have seen this question many times, check out MikeC on AVS, he bought MANY subs looking for that chest thump only to find out he was searching in the wrong frequency range. You could possibly benefit from Hsu and their Mid Bass Module(MBM) System. . This was one reason I went to M80's, with them I get more impact than I did with M22's/sub.


I can tell you that when I stood (with an unnamed Commander) on the flight line at NAS JAX at a Blue Angels preview several years back, the low level, low speed demo by the F14 - I had no problem feeling that in my chest. My face, legs and arms as well. I didn't have to do the crawl either - although I am sure many have at the receiving end of that awesome sight.
