[@marianorainmaker]

Man, i just got my shakers, and this is by far the most clear explanation of how to set them up. Thanks a lot. Subscribed!

[@Pedro-fo4et]

Which model did u get?

[@fanatic3856]

Perfectly explained. this is what I was looking for, Thanks.

[@Speed_-vt7iq]

Awesome man I had seen others, but I really wanted to run just two and wanted to run them exactly like you did. This was super helpful thanks for all the input. I’m about to order them and will be back to get all of my setting from you! Thanks again!

[@garyevanssimracing5922]

No problem at all 😁👍🏻

[@mrj3217]

How did it turn out? I am seriously considering this. Please let me know if it was worth it.

[@Speed_-vt7iq]

I ran it with iracing and just used the settings on iracing it worked better but had one under my seat and one under my pedals and totally worth it. Game changer

[@charlielima]

Thanks for the video - very helpful. I'm redesigning my setup going from 5 (DaytonAudio Pucks) down to 2 (Bass Pump III ) transducers, I found that trying to get stereo separation on the rig is very hard to achieve well. So having just 2 (front & rear) better quality transducers for me is better than 4-5 small basic ones

[@garyevanssimracing5922]

Yes i agree, and I think that is a good move glad the video helped 👍🏻

[@polynomial9600]

Thank you, this answered my questions about setting up a shaker with a racing rig.

[@talon1706]

If you have a Woojer haptic vest you can add it to sim hub and have six more left/right kickers. On my rig I have the 4 corners/pedal plate and Woojer Vest connected. Vest takes care of engine revs and gear shifts. In VR it adds immersion.

[@GraphicFrost]

dude I never thought about that. I have a single buttkicker, that's a solid idea lol

[@meejmuas8686]

I had unknown vibrations coming from simhub to my Buttkicker Plus 2. It kept pulsing even if my car wasnt moving. Fixed it by reinstalling simhub. Just putting this out there in case people ran into that issue. For me, I didnt need get a 2nd sound card. I set my output on simhub as the Buttkicker Plus 2, physicially, the amp was plugged to my pc via the provided usb cable. Then I set my computer's audio output to my VR headset audio.

[@Rickk69er]

Start out with one effect at a time, and you'll find the problem

[@chotus69]

I've just purchased 2 dayton bst-2s as I only run a fgt lite rig so it can pack away to keep the wife happy. Can't wait to try them out

[@Pedro-fo4et]

Did u already try it? can you share your experience?

[@chotus69]

@@Pedro-fo4et Vote for Pedro... 😜 I have mate I have been using them for about a week. I designed and 3d printed some mounts to attach one directly to the bottom of my pedals and added a extra bar between the 2 legs of the seat at the rear. They definitely supply enough feedback being only a fgt lite. If you have the same rig I definitely don't recommend this guys settings though I first tried with his and it was just a massive vibrating mess that literally made me 2nd guess everything I ha done lol. This is nothing against him just I guess everyone's rig is diffrent and shaker settings are not a 1 size fits all. After going threw each individual setting and dialing it in to what I want though I definitely wouldn't go back to not using them. I accidentally didn't start simhub one day and immediately noticed and it felt terribly wrong not feeling any input other then the DD wheel

Thanks for explaining. I just bought one bst-1 for the rear to see if I like it, also got the nobsound. If I enjoy it I may get another for the front. I was wondering, do you think a bts-2 is enough for the front or should it also be a strong one like the bst-1?

[@thegaminggazza8000]

hey man great video i have a question if i had 6 shakers 1 at front 1 under seat and 1 for each corner to be each wheel how would i get simhub to see them all could i just plug in each amp into usb and select each amp for desired effects and then adjust or would i need to daisy chain the amps or something?

[@garyevanssimracing5922]

Yes thats right, basically turn on the usb amps inside of simhubs bass shakers, then allocate the bass shakers to the output you want them to operate

Great video - very helpful! I think I’m going to do this exact set up. I have a playseat trophy and under the seat is just like a mesh material. I’m toying with mounting with tape or mounting to some wood and then mounting that with tape. As I understand it the amp has its own sound card via usb? In terms of cables, are you able to cover off what’s needed? Thanks

[@garyevanssimracing5922]

yes the nobsound mini amp has its own souncard via usb. also i used speaker wire for a subwoofer to wire them up! the bass shakers have a foam type covering on the back so thay are good for mounting direct to your seat, i drilled my seat as the mesh is more than likely fibreglass. hope this helps

On your selected sound output its showing in green that you only have 2 channels available. Surly selecting 8 channel would make no difference as the only available channels will be front left and front right. I only mention this as I have 7.1 soundcard with 7.1 surround amp and I'm still only getting 2 channels available even with speakers in Windows set to 7.1. I know the full range of channels work as I've tested it with audio so it's sim hub that seems to be missing that im usual an 8 channel sound card. How did you get all your transducers firing with only 2 channels available and also why with only 2 channels available did you choose 8 channel customisation? Ta Joel

Another additional question Gary; you've mentioned to me in another post that you've drilled one bass shaker to your seat and another one on a construction at your pedals. But I was wondering, do you make sure that the bass shakers have full contact with the surface? Or do you use some kind of spacers to avoid this for better results? Looking forward to your answer.

thanks for the vid Gary! Do you have the Nobsound plugged into your 'line out' from the computer? If so, where does normal car sound get outputted? Does the amp need to have a USB Sound card internally to work? I have an old amp at home, but can't seem to get it to work with transducers. Do you see any benefits of using a 4 channel amp, and having the following? channel 1: a small transducer attached to the back of the brake pedal for example, and just having ABS and wheel lock up vibrations come through that? channel 2: I have a sequential shifter and am thinking of mounting a transducer on it to feel the gear shift thuds... channel 3: One under seat channel 4: One under pedal tray Thanks for any insights from your experience :)

[@garyevanssimracing5922]

The nobsound has its own soundcard, and plugs in via usb so its seperate. So it does not affect your car sounds /audio.

I would say that will work very well, and considered a puck type shaker under my shifter aswell😃👍🏻
