Just curious... has anyone used a Tactile Sound device in their driving cab? http://www.amazon.com/Aura-Sound-Pro-Bass-Shaker/product-reviews/B0002ZPTBI/ref=pd_cp_e_1_cm_cr_acr_img?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1 Basically Tactile Sound is a subwoofer that physically vibrates with the lows instead of producing sound. It gives that extra punch of realism without the volume. Thoughts? DeLuSioNaL29 |

That's what beatmaniaIIDX uses in its shaker platform. It's too cool. No, really, it's freaking awesome. I hadn't thought about using one in a driving cab, but it should be neat. 50W is plenty of power to massage two players standing on the stage of IIDX, so I'd think it should be more than enough for a driving cab. It has a resonance around 40Hz or so, and it really hits big time at that point, but it's good down to about 20Hz or so before it drops out. This is lower than most small subs (and even some larger ones), so it can complement even a system with a sub. Just be aware that some cheap amps can't go that low without rolling off substantially. You could potentially compensate with a pre-eq stage if necessary. |

Cabinets that have these from the factory are designed to take the vibration. If you install something like this in a Hard Drivin cab, I bet you would end up with a pile of Hard Wood splinters after time. Cool idea, but make sure the cabinet is held together well enough to take the vibration. |

cook idea, ya i think it's doable i dont think you'ed have a problem with the cabinet falling apart unless you had it cranked up, you could always reinforce areas where you put it. apparently it's especially effective if you mount it under the seat, infact i think a few "gaming" chairs do this. |

These are a very common addition to driving cockpits, and I have never heard anything but great things about them. Buttkicker seems to be the goto name for them. You can probably find out a lot more about their use at some racing sim sites, as they are where you will find most people that invest in building a driving cab/cockpit. I know I have seen a lot of mention of their use at http://www.gtplanet.net . |
