Yup! That's what I was doing on a recent piece (still working on it).
I used the bass sound (sort of a drone) and fed it into the sidechain  
of the compressors for some high pitched sounds (with high ratio).
This intensifies the impression of rumble without just going loud and  
deafening.
But it's hard to adjust and if the mix changes slightly I've to start  
over doing the compressor settings again.
