    why would you want other people to feel it? that's rather annoying and rude, and very well could get you shot around here. :)

    *edit*
    don't you even care about your hearing?

    *re-edit*
    200 watts? that's only enough to mess up your passenger's hearing and possibly make your windows shake. people will hear it, but they won't feel it even outside the car. you'll just make people hate people with subs even more. ^.^

    by the way, if you've got enough watts for people in other cars to feel it (i.e., 2000 watts+), then whoever is in the car will suffer some severe internal damage.

    you can't hear the lower frequency but can feel it with the right subwoofer and power amp. the MTX are the best on the market and move more air to get the best SPL

    i have the 8500 MTX with a JL 500 watt mono amp hitting an SPL of 145 but you can't listen to it that loud very long without hearing damage and thats what it takes for the cars to feel it next to you (this baby moves air bigtime)NOT a POS bazooka. so do it right or go home lol .

    bottom line its all about moving the air

    part of the problem is that you need to understand you don't *feel* sound quality. yeah, you can get rattle around, but that not necessarily portraying the actual sound of the music you are listening to accurately.

    what *type* of music do you mainly listen do? if you listen to fast-paced music, like rock, you need a 10 inch or so sub to keep up with the beat.

    slower music can be accurately replicated with a bigger sub and more bass, but faster music will cause this sub to heat up and create many issues if you haven't planned it properly.

    *edit*
    and it doesn't take much to damage your hearing. if you can feeling the rattling vibrations from the other end of your car, i guarantee the waves put out, even if too low for your ear to pick up, are strong enough to do some damage.
