tannoy super tweeter can go over >20khz up to 50khz.
st50, st100, st 200, $3000usd. pair.

some Tannoy studio monitors have a similar supertweeter included and much cheaper. around $1500usd. pair.

if usign passive supertweeters you need also a good analog amplifier.
and good cables. evidence, vovox, etc... lavacable.com

under 20Hz, any 18" jbl 2241h or similar with a well designed vented box can go there watch out the Xmax.
but acording to fletcher munson curves, you need a hell lot more SPL dB to feel it like 1khz.
like 80dB in 20Hz = 20dB in 1khz.
3dB more = double watts or double loudspeakers.

front loaded push-pull isobaric vented box, is nice for shaking the floor.
eminence designer software is nice to design subwoofers.

theres a nice bass shaker for car audio, also.
