Speakers with deep/powerful bass

I used to have a system with large speakers. Each speaker had two 12" woofers. When I would play Hard as a Rock from the AC-DC BallBreaker CD there was a moment at 35 seconds into the song when it felt like someone was jumping on the floor behind me. This would only happen if my JPS Labs Golden Flutes were looped into the system, and it was playing very loud. Without the Golden Flutes it didn't happen. It was a truly frightening experience the first time it happened, because I was home alone. Has anyone else had anything like this occur?

Yes, with vintage Cerwin Vega tower speakers. More woofers = better.

some Meridian dsp 8000's really try to push the walls off the foundation. a pair of usher be20 dmd's also overloaded my room with bass.

I used to have a pair of TDL Monitors which were supposed to be capable of bass output below 20 hz. When I had owned them for a while, I was entertaining friends one evening and playing the first Enya disc. It was a soft. slow tune, but suddenly there was a subterranean tone, likely from a synthesizer that made it feel as if the floor was going to give way beneath us, and the music wasn't even loud.
