The lowend spectrum sounds nice and punchy on my studio gear (YAMAHA NS-10MS & RCF SPEAKERS), but at my home stereo and other sources it sucks big time. The basses are taking all juice out of the rest of the instruments/voice...

Do you have any tips/suggestions on how to get a HUGE basssound, but still providing space to the rest?

Don't mind the vocal sound and the unfinished arragement/production.

Thank you.

in general you should give each instrument/voice it's own spectrum.
So here the low-mid and hi freqs of the bass synth frictions a bit with the (vulnerable) voice.
I think you have to darken the bass, and at the same time you can give it more (sub)bass part.
Give the bass synth mutch between 50 and 90 Hz, check where the singers part has the most (300-1000?) and keep the bass away from this by eq-ing.
Check out reggea: huge basses, never causing problems for other instruments.
Good luck!

try giving it some "room" to breath. reverb just the low ends (90 and below) through a room reverb or ER, with max spread settings. That usually gives the basse a bit more heaviness.. Cutting the mid lows a bit certainly does help.
