Do you mean physically touch? That is about the only way you can get a sub for $140 that you can feel. There arent a whole lot of options for $140. Your best option is to save up for something better.

Your best bet is the used market. Try your local craigslist or ebay. Because you are not going to find ANYTHING brand new that bumps for what you are talking about paying.

The only thing you'll feel for that price is something like Aura Bass Shakers. They can give a nice tactile effect, especially if you don't go nuts with the volume on them. There was a trade show setup once with small bookshelf speakers playing, and Shakers in the chairs-sounded like a subwoofer was connected somewhere. That would be my recommendation, until you can save up more money. Or, get lucky on Craigslist.

If you can find a sub for that cheap buy it and use it as your seat for your computer. You will feel it then. Back in the day Altec Lansing made a dual voice coil 10" sub they were bad ass. I still have mine.... awesome for a bedroom.
Going with the BIC America Venturi V1020 What you guys think? Its on sale for 145 shipped!! hopefully it well be more powerful then my old Logitech Z-2300 subwoofer.

BIC America is a good entry level sub.... you should be happy with it since there isn't much else to compare in the price range. I would take that BIC over a Polk any day.
Ahhh he wasnt being mean. MK, is a straight shooter and is just honest. YES, that bic shall be light years ahead of your Logitechs. Theres probably not a better sub for the money, but theres 100's of better subs for more money. Everybody starts somewhere. I started with a $150 sub budget about a year ago and now ive built a few subs of my own and have exactly what ive been looking for. So needless to say start with it you can always upgrade in the future.
+1. MK is correct. If you want to feel it....Seat shakers are a good investment.

I was not being mean, or I was not trying to be. I started with KLH HTIB when I got started. I can tell you that I would rather have my aura bass shakers then that sub. The BIC is supposed to be OK, I never heard it myself. I would recommend shakers to anyone in an apartment that can not disturb neighbors.

Subs you can "feel" do cost more. No one said it is a bad sub or you HAVE to spend more but if you set the bar as high as you did in the topic header then what mk said is accurate.
I feel my subs insane but they also cost about 3k with amps ha

EDIT: What's a "better" sub? As long as that BIC can bang louder then my old Logitech Z-2300 speakers did then i well be happy.

Nothing in that Sony line will ever come close to anything BIC. Don't waste your money.
