Bass shaker DIY !!

[@gsoulracing566]

Hey bro, just wanted to thank you for this. I made one already based off of this video, and its amazing. 350w 8" woofer and its mounted to my sim racing rig. Im pretty sure its more powerful than any bass shaker product by far. Lol. Im now making a second version. Total cost so far is just 2 packs of 2-part epoxy ($5CAD)

[@FLYFISHO]

Awesome. Mine is still going but on a better 1500w amp now. Soooooo good

[@michaelboyce3227]

"we're either going to blow this thing up... Or it's gonna work" Shit man you got me hook, line, & sinker Haha I like your style sir! Happy New Year from Seattle!

[@chaldean7043]

Hi, nice tutorial. Is the bolt tightly connected to the aluminium plate with the nuts or did you leave room for it to move?

[@FLYFISHO]

bolt and nuts needs to be super tight on the cross brace. Bolt needs to be perfectly centered and floating on the voice coil when epoxied

[@joakko32]

Hi, im thinking of doing this with 2 10" cheap subwoofers. I saw that in some comments you say something about adding weight. How is that? Where do you add the weight and what for? Thanks for the vid!

[@cherok5004]

How did it end up working? Did you shake yourself right out of the sim chair? :) Would love to see a photo or video of it in action.

10 out of 10

[@Turbojonny5]

Thanks for the lifehack 👍🏻

[@benos4x4adventures49]

hey mate..im half way building my bass shaker with a 120 watt 2 channel amp and 10" inch sub. Istead of using a bolt..can i use a heavy duty spring...will that work? cheers............

[@FLYFISHO]

Bolt is better. The voice coil needs to be centered and held inplace as if its not it wont work properly

[@benos4x4adventures49]

@@FLYFISHO ok thanks mate...so the bolt just needs to almost touch the coil? with a small gap correct? and then did you put glue inbetween the coil and bolt?

[@constantine6313]

Hard to hear you mate. Background music is too high. Thanks for the video.

[@MarchosArcade]

Another Aussie tuber , love it mate same subbed you brother

[@BigMan7o0]

i was going to do this with my two little 3 1/2 inch sub for shits and giggles, but they are literally 3w so the coils started toasting instantly even though I had my volume set ultra low lmao

[@Scoobydcs]

what dimensions and what metal is the strip? im using a piece of wood which works but rattles horribly at higher intensities

[@FLYFISHO]

My whole sim rig rattles at full lol. Was just a peice of aluminum about 40mm wide by 3mm thick. Just make sure everything its tight and secure to avoid any undue vibrations

[@Scoobydcs]

@@FLYFISHO yeh im using a 12" sub and it knocks everything off the top of the rig lol. 40mm wide 3mm thick ali, cheers

[@alanbeasy1775]

Would have been even better demo if you had chucked the background music at the end.

[@admirgracic3421]

and what about that ugly sound, is it heard while you play?

[@DayKurniawan]

Why not glue it first then dril the ruler plat ?

[@FLYFISHO]

Because you cant put any pressure on the voice coil and it has to be aligned perfectly

[@clintwatchman]

Mate...I tried one of these a while ago and it started smelling really bad after a few minutes of use, got super super hot. Got any advice on how to make it work without frying the house :) cheers

[@FLYFISHO]

Clint Watchman Yeah What were you using to run the speaker?

[@SlyGRC]

I got a cupple of 15s that the surrounds dissingrated that would work perfect for this :) only about 40 lbs a pice,120 watt. Plenty of weight to throw around HAHA!

[@RiverWhisper]

thats mad mate

[@666Necropsy]

to get the most amps, which leads should you use on the cp psu? the 12v fan rails or the cpu,, gpu???thanks

[@FLYFISHO]

From memory its the yellow wires. I used a yellow off the 6pin connector. Look up the specs of the psu your using. It will tell you in there.

[@Scoobydcs]

How do you actually mount this to the chair? I bolted the centre pin and the sub basket itself both to the chair frame. Is that right or not?

[@FLYFISHO]

I mounted it the same way a you would normally mount a speaker but backwards

[@Scoobydcs]

@@FLYFISHO so you don't fasten the centre bolt? You leave that free floating??

[@FLYFISHO]

Leave centre bolt free

[@Scoobydcs]

@@FLYFISHO thanks. Iv fastened everything lol. Now I just need to get the pc psu to power the amp

[@robblanchard3146]

@@FLYFISHO But, the bolt has a small mass compared to the speaker frame and magnet. If you fasten ONLY the bolt to your rig, the mass of the speaker frame and magnet will be vibrating and create a much better effect.

[@benos4x4adventures49]

What's with the bolt in the middle....do I need that.

[@FLYFISHO]

Yes wont work with out it

[@benos4x4adventures49]

@@FLYFISHO what does it do...??

[@FLYFISHO]

@@benos4x4adventures49 restrains the voice coil as the speaker cone has been removed that used to be connected to the voice coil. So without the bolt it wont work

[@Curi0u50ne]

I’m curious as to how to attach it with the stiking out rod in the middle ?

[@SlyGRC]

Drill a hole and put the middle rod into it with washers and 2 nuts to secure it into a solid board under your chair or couch.Use a vertical installation.

[@alexanderturl]

Did it work mate? How long did the epoxy last?

[@FLYFISHO]

Its still going and gets used every day. And the original 6 inch one i have has lasted 8 years and still going.

[@FLYFISHO]

@@warrenRV no because the shear size of it works quite well. But im sure if weights were added it would shake the house down

[@FLYFISHO]

@@warrenRV yeah i cant drive without one now. When i forget to turn it on its just weird

[@FLYFISHO]

@@warrenRV you can ad weight to the end of the center bolt. On one of my others i drilled out a big fishing sinker and threaded it on

[@esmokebaby]

1yr later how it hold it how well it work need to know

[@FLYFISHO]

Its still thumpn away under my sim seat perfect. Gets used every day

[@esmokebaby]

@@FLYFISHO sweet i got a pyle 12 square sub sitting around i may try one day

[@madiimad]

irish? or Australian? sorry nice accent!

[@benos4x4adventures49]

My project didn't work....no bass. 😭😭😭😭😭

[@darmakiss4829]

Nooo save the dust cap and cone ...

[@darmakiss4829]

And foam

[@abkl182]

Prove it

[@FLYFISHO]

Prove what?

[@mechanicalmanny494]

All that effort to make one, just by a fricken bass shaker🙄

[@dieselaegean]

This will burn the coil

[@FLYFISHO]

How. A year on and it's still going strong and gets used every day.

[@op3crimsin]

Been running my JL15W3 for over five years now and so far, the only thing that's needed replaced was my volume control sider switch I had mounted in the couch. I call mine the buttwoofer :)

[@tuemose22]

hhaha not even worth it, you can litterally get dayton bass shakers, for like no money! and dont fucking use, such crappy amplifier setup like never!!! if you just had taken, the sub and made a hover ez platform. you would get ez tactile bass
