Using a high pass filter to cut out inaudible frequencies and then
boosting the useable ones with a shelf
is an excellent way to thump the house with kick-ass bass without
eating up all the headroom in your mix.
A good multi-band compressor and maybe a harmonic re-enforcement can
do the rest.
For for most music I do,
I don't need that much low end bass, it's not abou the fundamental
frequencies but the harmonics anyway,
even high end decent monitor speakers don't generally rate down to 20 hertz,
because you just don't have that much useable stuf down there.

Having played about with EQ a fair bit within sonar on my half-decent
Alesis prolinear monitors, and even with my less than perfect hearing
these days, I can hear down to about 20 HZ, but as said, once down
any further than that its more a question of 'feeling' the vibrations
rather than 'hearing' them.
Actually it quickly becomes easier to hear the doors and various
instruments in my room start vibrating once you go down below 20 HZ or
thereabouts.
I often tend to put a filter on to take out most frequencies below
about 27 HZ as they take up a lot of headroom in the mix, and seeing
as how most people can't hear the frequencies down there (either
because of their hearing, or as is more often the case, because of
poor speakers they're using.), your not really cutting anything out of
the mix.
