I also layer kicks, and basically just play around. I always have a 7 band eq, and a compressor on the kick mixer channel, i also use a second paramatix eq sometimes.
I also sometimes layer up to 5 different kicks, but when i do this the levels are always adjusted a fair bit

This is seriously the best advice you can get, LOL. I was having a serious problem getting "professional" sounding kicks, so I just ripped off numerous kicks, started layering and EQ'ing them until they were good and not blatant ripoffs. I guess this is frowned upon, I don't really care though =)

Try using kicks from the sample cd "Trance and Techno by Dave Laurent". The kick drums on it are the hardest i've come across ever.
Nice.

everybody steals kicks though including professionals, most people nicking from pvd, not me though - oh no, much prefer summat a little more aggressive
also if u want them "hardcore as fuck" kicks all u do is turn the sample amp right up, then export the sample really quiet so it is distorted but isn't if you know what i mean
