I have recently bought a nice theater system. The problem is I live in
a NYC apartment, and I'm receiving mad complaints from my neighbours
about the powerful bass. I'm sure there are people who have similar
problem. How do you effectively reduce noise/bass in an apartment? Any
success stories? Ideas? Suggestions? Theory? Please help!!! Or else
I'll have to give up my system. Please don't....

This isn't really the correct forum for home theater questions, but the
easy answer is that you should consider the space your system is going to
be used in BEFORE you buy it. If it's too late to take it back, my only
suggestion is to turn it down.
