Are subwoofers dangerous?

If playing a movie, like War of the Worlds, loud enough to "like" it without trying to see how loud I can get it, is that safe? What about for a child? I know "like" is a subjective term, but so would the word "normal." I am thinking of getting the Mirage S12, but don't want my or my kids hearing damaged! Sounds silly perhaps, but was wondering if anyone had any information on this. Thanks.


Okay, the truth is I have a little baby, but I want a subwoofer to hear stuff blow up, but not at the expense of the infant's hearing! And I know if I asked the doctor they wouldn't have a clue so they would probably just say NO. From what I have read the human ear isn't that senstive to lower frequencies.


Help me.
