audio1der Posted January 10, 2012 Report Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) I thought you guys would not only find this interesting, but have the knowledge to follow through with it. I made a pair of them a bunch of years ago using Pioneer 12" subs and an old 70W x 2 Technics receiver. It made the door on my oven downstairs rattle (I had only a 150W, 10" powered sub, so that was not what was shaking anything) http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/volume_4_2/tactile.html Tips: Use loctite on the fasteners, ensure you can add/subtract weight to/from the bridge across the dustcap in order to tune it, and frame the fukers like you mean it. You will NOT be dissapointed. It REALLY added to the HT experience, unlike anything I've heard/felt before. Commercially available "shakers" tickle your bum compared to these. *Caveat- I used speaker-level outputs from my main HT receiver and converted those to RCA level inputs for the shaker receiver, often putting 9V of input into that poor thing. It lasted a year, but could easily be reproduced with a good plate amp meant for HT subs.

nascarguy301 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Posted February 17, 2012 I want to try this. Quote Bose = Buy other sound equipment. i love the rattle it's the best part! i need louder cheap amp any ideas?
KillaCam Posted February 17, 2012 Report Posted February 17, 2012 Pics? I'm not quite following it. It seems like you're essentially attaching the sub to your couch so your couch shakes? Seems like SQ would be terrible. Quote And the fact more than one person agrees does not make it a circle jerk, it makes it a bukkake scene and you're in the middle Chick took 3 shots of Jager, and then, pissed in my mouth..

Seems like SQ would be terrible. What SQ? It doesn't produce sound, or atleast it shouldnt if it works well. Quote Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for.
KillaCam Posted February 17, 2012 Report Posted February 17, 2012 Okay so you would do this with a separate sub. One to produce sound and one just to vibrate? I guess I just don't see the point.

mrd6 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Posted February 17, 2012 seems like a nice llt would do the same thing except shake the whole room/house instead of just the couch...but yeah hard to follow without pictures Quote My Build Log: http://www.stevemead...-sundown-power/ Team NorthWestSPL
