If you guys want some real base response I have a pair of 30 inch sub woofers each mounted in 36 cubic foot enclosures with 1 1/2 inch thick walls. These will supply true 16 Hz response with very low distortion. And they will shake your pant legs if you desire. They are for sale if someone is interested.
