C-G-C-F-A-D : Drop D tuning tuned down another whole step for each string.
One thing's for sure ,you gotta get yourself some real heavy strings for the other ones , and I think you should consider getting a tuner that can handle the low pitch of a 7-strings guitar for that Low B and A tunings.
Drop D tuning can give you a very melancholy tone, a more haunting kind of sound than what you get just by playing in a minor key. See Neil Young's "Cortez the Killer" and James McMurtry's "Don't Waste Away" for examples.
