Mad Mike 41 Report post Posted January 7, 2014 Hey friends just a thought worth mentioning. Most car seats are designed to reduce or eliminate road feel and bumps. Attaching you transducer to the seat frame leaves all that reduction engineering in place working to defeat your transducer. Two solutions A : lots of power. B : need to bypass that engineering by getting the transducer closer to your sensors. I placed small transducers into the foam of my seat. Can't feel them by hand but they give a lot of feel because they are 1" away from my skin in the foam under my legs n butt. 50w feels like a lot MM out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lopsided 345 Report post Posted January 7, 2014 Mike, I did something similar with the transducer on the seat. My rig is made from 45 series, thick walled 8020 aluminum. I felt that the low wattage transducers were not going to do the trick if I had them mounted on this frame. Hence I opted for larger transducers to avoid buyers remorse and I'm very glad I did. I definitely get a ton of vibration using the BK Mini and BK Advance on the frame with the iNuke amp, however, I wanted to try placing the BK Advance closer to my 'seat' and I much prefer it. This has not only allowed me to turn it down and reduce noise but being so close to my body I can feel even the smallest of nuances. Not knowing how well it would work I mounted the Advance "temporarily" to the springs of the seat, positioning it directly against the foam. I used nothing more than heavy duty wire ties. So far it has proved to be reliable and suitable mounting but we will see. Anyway, it takes far less power to feel the vibs and very little if any vibration is heard now. A buddy of mine was trying to make a setup on the cheap and I recommended he place them "in" the seat, beneath the cover allowing him to get the most with the least as he certainly wasn't going to be feeling them on his rig if he had mounted them on the frame.

Mad Mike 41 Report post Posted January 7, 2014 On my rig if I didn't tell you they were there you would never know till it buzzed you. I get a great amount of feel from these lil laughable Dayton pucks in the foam of my seat. 50w plate amp runs 4 of them in parallel just awesome. I've decided I am placing 4 more in and getting a pair of Dayton 70w plate amps to run left n right channels then I'll have 2 under legs 2 in lumbar side bolsters and 2 under feet then 2 under the wheel deck. Thinking that's about the best I can do for xbox. When I go PC I may use these for extensions and also 4 bk for chassi mode. At any rate in or attached to the foam is a great option to mass power.
