My first foray into these transducers was when I sold my VR headset in anticipation of the new model coming out. Missing the immersion and playing flat screen games, I was thinking, what can I do? I remembered years ago a friend showing me this thing called a Buttkicker he had in his home theater setup so I looked into that. Too expensive. I stumbled across these guys. I initially bought one. I removed the bottom of my office chair, cut a piece of plywood, got some longer bolts and bolted it all back together. Now I had a solid place to mount this. I got a cheap Nobsound 100w amp with an adjustable low pass filter. I plugged it into an extra usb sound card on my computer, ran my audio through Voicemeter Banana, and was blown away. I don't think I could ever play games without it again. At half volume this thing shakes the chair like crazy. It adds so much immersion! Love it! Fast forward, the new Vr headset came out, I missed the shaker when playing standing VR. I began figuring out how I would make my own bass transducer vest. I initially was going to go with the small Dayton pucks. I bought a four pack and one was dead on arrival. I still wired them up and they have an impressive shake but I didn't like the flimsy wires and just really like these bigger Dayton transducers I can plug my own wires into. I bought a second one. I ran them parallel, pulling a 2 ohm load from my amp, which it can handle and puts out its full 100 watts at 2 ohms. I initially just threw them into a cheap chest bag as a proof of concept with a long speaker wire running to my amp. It worked like I hoped but I wanted to not be tied to a cord for room scale wireless VR. I got a cheap swat tactical vest, the kind with the insertable armor. I cut a 1x12 piece of wood to fit in front and back. Then I screwed these transducers to it front and back. I got a power wheels 18v Ridgid battery adapter and a plug that fits my Nobsound amp. The batteries put out 19-20v which is perfect for my amp. I wired it all together and now I have a mobile transducer bass vest, powered by my drill batteries. I plug it into a headphone splitter on my VR headset. Wow!! This thing is heavy. 15lbs plus. But it is incredible to wear while playing games. One of these is enough to shake a couch, two of these is overkill but oh boy, will it kick you hard. These transducer are heavy, well built, and just amazing to play around with. Have fun with them!
