The problem isn't necessarily going to be the music itself. The speakers are going to be your main barrier. All that a subwoofer does is take frequencies below a given value (usually around 100-120Hz and lower) and amplifies them. If you mess with the arrangement of the song, you may have problems with people on other speaker sets lacking bass. You should get a DSP in your media player that can handle frequency cut-offs and gains to make it sound like it should. I personally use Winamp with Jammix enhancer because it allows full control over hi-pass and low-pass filters, etc. And there are several profiles that you can make. I have one set for my home theatre, one for my car (so I don't blow my speakers lol), and one for my headphones.

I also find it best to do my mixing with a set of quality headphones. I have a pair of Bose tri-port ($120) headphones and they're great for mixing. You could also get away with a pair of Skullcandy TiTANs ($50) if you like earbuds. I also use these somtimes. Although their mids and highs aren't quite as clear, theyr'e wonderful for bass.
