Just got a Fosi Audio TDA7498E Power 160W x 2. Waiting for my Dayton BST-1 shaker. Been cranking som music thru 2x 12" driver towers and it stayed cool as a cucumber!
I see you made a good decision by switching to TDA3116d ... I feed with 24V.20Amp. every 2 tda3116d and change the source fan for a larger and quieter one (92mm x 25mm) you will also need to reinforce those bodyshakers if you want them to last you with a strong punch, I will try a new preview shortly and send you photos for reinforcement and cooling passive. greetings from Spain.
Thanks Jose, I'd definitely be interested to see what you've done to reinforce the bodyshakers. The amplifier doesn't have a fan, it's passively cooled. I haven't opened it, but I'm guessing there's a heatsink inside.
This setup looks like it works much better than my single buttkicker 2 that constantly overheats and shuts down. I am thinking about doing this type of setup for my rig, just got to work out how to attach it. I use a next level racing GT lite, so the frame is 1" pipe. Anyway, thanks for your informative videos.
@@loveracing1988 For now what I have done is I purchased a small USB fan that sits on top of the amp. The fan faces downwards so it blows air into the air slots. This solved the problem of the AMP shutting down from overheating. I am still fighting the actual buttkicker with its overheating. I have alleviated a lot of that problem with a larger USB fan that also has a battery and a clip so I clip it right on the buttkicker. The fan can run on high on battery power for about 9 hours. As long as the red light doesn't come on or just comes on once in awhile on the AMP, the buttkicker does not shut down. This arrangement is working much better than it was without the fans. It is not perfect, but it is better. I got the fans from Amazon. They are the 10000mAh Rechargeable Portable Fan, 8-Inch Battery Operated Clip on USB Fan, and the Gaiatop USB Desk Fan, Small But Powerful, Portable Quiet 3 Speeds. I am still planning on eventually replacing the buttkicker with a couple of those more powerful transducers and getting a better amp. Also, on my next level racing gt lite rig, I originally had the buttkicker attacked to the horizontal pole on the back of the rig (think its there to attack shackers). But when I moved the buttkicker to the front horizontal pole that holds the steering wheel in place, I was able to nearly double to amount of vibration I was feeling. I also had to build up the pole where the buttkicker attackes with masking tape so it can make a tighter fit.
Hi man, good video, i have same amplifier with the 2 metal cheap transducers, using simhub and they works very good. Would be interesting if you make a video about simhub and how to properly set this types of bass shakers.😉
Well done again Jeremy. To get further buttkickness i use the sound cards eq settings to push up the low end bass frequencies to fine tune the effets on my P1, its handy to get that strong rumble without distortion. I use 2 sound cards for simvibe and my rig certainly feels it. Your setup in this video shows that you can get profile to rumble. I had comments on my setup suggesting it doesn't get much power to shake the rig on there set up. How wrong they are. BIG thumbs up buddy. Dave.
I am trying to hookup 2 50w 4ohm shakers to my surround system. I have them connected to the Mono Pre-Amp Subwoofer (is that the correct way to do it??) . I have tried two amps, a new Fosi 100w 2-8ohm, and a Marantz 125w 8ohm Mono amp. And my Denon S750H AVR has a setting for the Subwoofer output that goes from -12 to +12 db. I have to set it to +12 to get good shaking at all. But then my 2 subwoofers are too loud. I can turn the gain down on the back of my subs, but I don't think this is the correct way to set this up. I don't think I should be turning my subs down to only 25-30%. I have wired my shakers in parallel and series on the Fosi. 2ohms works best and it doesn't get hot. But still this doesn't shake as much as I think it should. What am I missing??
Good video! You've got yourself a new subscriber! Keep up these kind of awesome video's :) Bought 5 of those shakers today and will pair them with an 5.1 Home Theatre Receiver rated 100w per channel @ 4 Ohm. Should have plenty of power. Going to wire this via HDMI and use that as the sound output for my shaker setup. Should be alot of fun probably when this is done. Only thing I don't like about these cheapo shakers is the bare metal looks.. I will design a 'shell' to print over them and cover them a bit for the looks.
I do not think it is a good idea, the great temperature burned the cover or the bodyshaker, it happened to me ... if you want more aesthetics you can put a box with a fan-extractor, or buy other bodyshakers with metal cover.
@@JoseFcoBN i Will not be playing these shakers any higher then say max 40%. Temperature should be fine and so will the printed cover. Only time will tell.
Good work as usual, I miffed as my little 25W amps are only on a quarter volume and shake the hell out of my rig, as I said before using three of them and their awesome maybe I'm just a more modern sensitive guy, just got a Fanatec DD2 and its killing my hands need to go back a look at your glove videos again. Keep up the good work
When I had the body shakers on the seat frame, it wasn't so bad with the weaker amp, but now I've put them on the pedal frame, the amp simply struggled to pass meaningful tactile through. And welcome to the world of direct drive wheel action, gloves will help.
Yes that is possible, though it's an effect that isn't always easy to achieve, in as much as being able to detect which side the vibration is coming from. As vibrations leak across the sim rig rather than feel like they are coming from a single location.
Question: Is there a way to send the channel that shakes my G920 steering wheel (vibration) to the bass shakers? I think this would be a lot more realistic than having the wheel shake.
I have always been curious about the Jetseat. That normally gets me buying more stuff, but I have made a promise for 2020 to get through my current horde of goodies I have been collecting for future videos first before buying new things.
@@SimRacingCorner I like the jetseat, a more of a plug and play but simpler I guess, but still pretty cool.👍 That sounds like a good new year promise! I have a few new stuff on the way and a really big I've not yet pulled the trigger on. Then I will lay low with stuff for a while!💸😅
@@RVRClosetYou have an understanding wife, or are you smuggling in stuff at the dead of night?🌛 Is the big item your trying to resist a ProSim H-shifter?
@@SimRacingCorner Hehehe, a bit of both I guess, some things I'm able to smuggle in, others not.. :) But yes, even though she isn't really understanding what the fuss is all about.. She let me play in the closet, and I think she is happy that I at least have a hobby keeping me at home! :D Nah, the ProSim H shifter will find it's way in soon hopefully, hehe, but after that I think I need to lay low for a bit.. ;)
@@SimRacingCorner I'm pretty new at this. This soundbar has 2 subwoofers with rca audio output. It is possible to output from the subwoofers to the amp/pre-amp of the bass shakers power source? Thanks.
@@therealbennymack Looking at the specs, those bass shakers are 50 watts, so you do need to be careful not to push too much power through them.

thx for the video. I'm just worrying about my flat neighbors :)
So, how vibes will be passed to the floor? Should some rubber be used on the floor?
That may help, but do understand the bass shakers vibrating your sim rig generates noise regardless, so it's not silent under any circumstances.
Hello, I bought 3 of these bass shakers, which I mounted in parallel. What type of amp do you think i need to make them work properly?
Good info, thanks. Could you set up front left/right and rear left/right bass shakers and would it give you left and right vibration?
Yes that is possible, though it's an effect that isn't always easy to achieve, in as much as being able to detect which side the vibration is coming from. As vibrations leak across the sim rig rather than feel like they are coming from a single location.
@@SimRacingCorner Thanks, makes sense.
Cant find the amp anywhere?. Can anyone recommend a substitute, my nobsound cuts out running a BST1. Cheers.

Do you have a link for the shakers?
I got them on Amazon UK, they are nice and cheap there. Search for 'Rockwood Bodyshaker'. I just checked, but unfortunately currently out of stock.

Thanks I'll go searching 👍

I used the 'test now' option in SimHub 'Shakeit Bass Shaker > Sound Output' which just fires out a burst of through the amp.
@@SimRacingCorner aha, I'm using SimVibe. It also has a test but not like that. I might have to testing and experimenting. Thx!!!!
Hi, It's possible to connect this system to a sound bar home theater system like a Nakamichi Shockwafe Ultra 9.2?
