How many watts do I need for a speaker set to shake the house with bass. I want some speakers that has a lot if bass and will shake the ground. I want to fell the bass but as we'll I want the audio and bass to be clear. The type of speakers I'm looking for is a 5.1 surround speakers with one or more sups to it. I was thinking about getting the Logitech speaker system Z906. But I was not sure if this would have enough bass for me. And I was wondering about the beatbox from Dr. Dre. Not the mini portable beatbox but the big one that he has that cost 399.00 $ it's on sale for 250.00 $ at his official site. But I was wondering if his beat box was any good and has a lot of bass to it. Thanks for everyone who writes an answer of this question!
By the way i don't actually mean shake the whole house i mean just enough to kind of give it enough bass to feel the floor shake in one room if any one is mistaking by the house i mean just like one room.

"Shake the house"? With $399.00? Is this a joke?

I need some speakers with a lot of watts and bass that will shake the ground a little in one room?

Answer
Contrary to popular belief, watts doesn't tell you much about how much acoustic output an audio system has. To produce bass, you have to move a lot of air which means you need large woofers with a lot of cone surface area. You're not going to get earth shaking bass with anything from Logitech or similar. For this you need a real system, not a toy like Logitech.

Find yourself a receiver with preamp outputs so you can use external amplifiers for the main speakers. To keep the budget low (although still far higher than Logitech) you could go with something like this NAD... http://www.audioadvisor.com/prodinfo.asp?number=NAT748 Then add something like this Emotiva amplifier for the left/right/center... http://shop.emotiva.com/collections/amplifiers/products/xpa-3 Then add some budget left/right main speakers like these... http://www.audioadvisor.com/prodinfo.asp?number=MRBBX6 and a center... http://www.audioadvisor.com/prodinfo.asp?number=MRBBXCE and surrounds... http://www.audioadvisor.com/prodinfo.asp?number=MRBBXFX and a subwoofer... http://www.hsuresearch.com/products/vtf-15h.html

The above example is entry level, it's a system that would be pretty good for the money. If you really want something good, it's going to be a lot more. There are things between this and the Logitech, but don't buy any system that is an all in one package, instead buy individual components. If you are good with tools maybe you can consider building your own... subwoofers especially if you get a kit is really easy... http://www.parts-express.com/cat/subwoofer-system-kits/287
