only if you put something like a 12" subwoofer right beside the PC and the PC has hard drives in it

 

but if its in the same room, a few feet away wont hurt anything

Unless you have a genuine bass cannon, powerful enough to shake  a brick wall, i would say not really. But generally i'd prefer to keep the subwoofer at a distance from my pc.

I generally only put one small mouse bass in my computer the flopping around of multiples can easily cause havoc, especially if they jump off one another like in Halo

Also so help you god if you use a largemouth.

Sure. Fans and hard drives. But really not really. There is almost no way you can damage a computer with too much bass. Unless we are talking 2000W and computer on top of it.

The only component I can think of that is sensitive to vibrations is a mechanical hard drive.  

But how much bass are we talking about here?

I don't think it could cause any issues to a computer unless it was at like house shaking levels

not to nit pick but there are drivers in headphones not speakers

another name for driver is a speaker

they are practically the same time, just that a speaker can have more than one driver in it

however "driver" is singular and can only contain one

 

headphones have more than one driver though, since you have two ears, and some headphones have many drivers inside

they can also be called small speakers

Also, STAX calls them earspeakers.

No.

 

If you're using a subwoofer which doesn't have at least a 12" driver, appropriately tuned box and a powerful enough amplifier, you're not going to be moving anything enough to cause damage, so don't worry. Even if you reach the point of running a system with a real subwoofer, you're not going to damage anything by playing music loudly.

 

Also: any children who read this who think they have a large system, feel free not to tell people you could break windows with your PC speakers or home theatre system because of the "massive" subwoofer which isn't actually reproducing real sub-bass. :)
