Bass Shakers

[JasoninDLH]

I remember sitting in my friends car back in 2000 and he had a great sounding sub (much like I had in my vehicle). I remember though, his was on another level because I could feel the whole seat shake which added to the experience. I believe what he had was a “bass shaker.” Does anyone use something like this? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

info would be greatly appreciated.

People mount them to sofa/couch/recliner in the tv room for a better bass experince. Adds the bass feel without the loudness of sub.

I remember really enjoyed feeling that bass in my buddies car. I think I’m going to install these in my Jeep. Any downsides to using these?

I reckon I install them on the underside of the seat?

Only making a bracket to tie into the seat's frame. Its has to be a solid mount.

That’s certainly manageable. Thanks for the info!

I've seen people get good results using bass shakers. You can get the vibrations without all the body panels vibrating.

That’s another positive.

Plus, I can keep the volume level down.
