How can I make the wobbles in the drop for this song. First Dubstep song I ever listened to, and I still love it.

I'm getting a tad tired of the complex squeaks and bleeps in my electro music. I want something chill, yet powerful like this.
Not to get the actual sound but to get the wobbles stick a LFO on the filter. If you already knew that I'm sorry for not helping.
What DAW do you use?
The DAW won't matter, this is a basic dubstep wobble man, just experiment with the wave table position on the different oscillators (A.I. with a changed WT pos is p good most of the time) with a LP LFO

Every time I try something like that it sounds so empty and weak.

That's because you'll need to process the sound to fatten it up.
I recommend guitar rig 5, there are loads of components in there that can aid the thickening of synths that so need it

Any VST that might help in particular for making the actual wobble? Also, if you have any examples lying around that would work, the mechanics aren't my stronger area. I'm more for the creative side.

Massive generally, or if you're feeling particularly adventurous - IL Sytrus
One thing to note is that you should (usually!) seperate the bassline from the wobble.
You can do this by:
using two synths, imo better, this way you can add subtle differences between the bassline and actual wobble, or when
using one synth, splitting the lower frequencies from the higher ones.
Might have known that already, but I think it's a pretty important aspect on the sound.
You can then indeed place an LFO on your LP filter frequency, adding a little resonance on the filter, and then adjusting the LFO rate with automation throughout the song.
You can also use your mod-envelope to effect your LP filter frequency, this way you can get the *wub* every time you press a note.
Changing the attack on the envelope will change the sound drastically.
After all this, try adding distortion of some sort onto the higher regions of your sound.
I find it easier to get a real basic sound out of my synth, and THEN destroying and mangling the sound untill it sounds like a fatty bombastic robot squealing in my ear.
Generally this is done by a combination of distortion to dirty it up, filters to keep the low out (you already have a low-end for that!) and equalization to pick out tiny tones that you don't want.
I'll look up a tutorial that you can apply to any synth or daw.
And like dead madman said, massive is great for building these sounds, mainly because of the great amount of oscillators and a stepper which allows for frequency modulation without having to dig into a whole lot of automation.
But it has to be said that massive is not an easy synth, and you CAN make a wobble sound with almost (if not) all synthesizers.

Oh right, after watching the tutorial again, you COULD also automate the filter-frequency by hand.
Which is a pain.
Well a whole lot of work, anyway. Gives great results, though, I guess.
