Bass sensation like a loud car system in home?

I know this is a bit of a silly question but bear with me here:

What options are there for getting that feeling of a powerful subwoofer vibrating through your body in your home?  I know the easiest option would be to just put a capable subwoofer next to your seating and let it hit as hard as it can.  I'm also not trying to make all of my neighbors hate me so I'm looking for some creative solutions to pulling it off at reasonable residential volumes.

I'm thinking that some combination of tactile transducers in the couch and a subwoofer next to or also installed inside of the couch would get pretty close.  Being right under your body I wonder what kind of decibels would actually be required to get a bass massage going.  Without the sensation of the high volume bass it also might just seem silly and be a complete waste of time aside from watching movies.

Thoughts?

Let me give you a clue.
When you’re in your car with it’s sub bass system thumping away, all your neighbours do hate you, both those next to you at the lights and in the dwellings all around, especially at two in the morning.

There are products that you can put in your chair that vibrate your ass to make you feel like there is more bass.  Drummers use them in loud environments to feel the kick drum.  Sometimes called "thumpers".  
Not exactly audiophile approved, but I think we should encourage more music listening no matter how it's done.  Enjoy yourself.

I can't understand why anyone would want "car sound" in a home... The home system SQ is SO far above any car system I've heard. I started bi-amping my car systems in 1976, but none can come close to what the home system sounds like. Good home subs are so much better than any car subs I've heard.
