Arrangement is your friend
Word up!

One time, i was like in my car and stuff, listening to my favorite tunes on my stock radio (with little low end response). I was stopped by a flagman (i mean flagperson) at a construction zone, and was sitting maybe 6 feet away from 2 guys running jackhammers. It was very odd, but my stereo had more bass response than it ever had before or after that, and the jackhammers weren't even in time with the music.

Tire whine will do it too, to a point.

But, as an example to Randy's point: Check out AC/DC's highway to hell. Very thin guitar sound, huge kick and snare.

But, if you want tons of low end chunk, DO check out the d.o.d. death metal distortion peddle. Its the soup you can eat with a fork (or a toothpick although your teeth will have already fallen out from the vibrations).
