U can do whatever u want, u just can't do it all at the same time. The mix is still art... Go for it.

however good it sounds on your cans - getting in a club and playing a tune with sub bass with ridiculous levels, is probably going to just sound.. fucking lame.
i had a track where the sub went to like -8dB... which is like 1-2dB's higher than i normally make it, and on a JBL 2k watt sound system... it was hard to hear anything but the bass.
but then again, if that's what you're going for... go for it.

that is one of the ultimate questions in dubstep though isnt it, would you rather just feel immense bass with some percussion, or do you wanna hear some other elements in there as well?
The latter option sounds better on paper, but when you actually get on the DAW you get so tempted to go for the former

lol don't listen to chad if you make the sub the highest db thing in the mix its gonna sound shit bro, turn the sub down to a healthy level too many dubstep newbs like to make sub way too loud its gross listen to proper mixdowns like skillex he knows what he is doing, or sub focus or like I don't know who do you like? hopefully not shit artists lol but ya keep at it and def don't make sub loudest thing in mix, it will be terrible

With a really minimal tune turning the sub up is good imo, up until a point though.
