    I have upgraded my simulator using GAME VIBE to install 2 bass shakers to simulate vibration from RPMs and shifting
    I placed a shaker under the pedals and one under the seat
    All for about 100 euros by looking a little on the net
    I recommend it to everyone

    and finally I installed a dashboard with a dedicated application on android tablet
    on occasion it's not expensive, neither is the application and you can display more than 40 information on your car, weather, circuits and more

    I use the same Nobsound amplifiers for my Dayton bass sbakers, they work well and are compact. Thingaverse has convienient 3D slide in mounts for these amplifiers.

    You told me to use the same system for your bass shakers
    How many do you use
    2 or 4
    Because it brings a lot to the simulation and I think going to 4

    I have 5, 4 in chassis layout (Daytons) plus a big Buttkicker mounted under the seat.

    nice
    Are you using 3 amps then?
    Directly plugged into your 5.1 motherboard or do you use another solution?
    In the GAME VIBE instructions, there is no mention of the installation (wiring) of the bass shakers. 2 is simple 5 much less

    Yes 2 Nobsound amps for the Daytons and the Buttkicker amp. Te Buttkicker I run from straight audio, it and its amp are designed for that.

    did you connect the two nobsound amps directly to your motherboard?
    On the green outputs (lin out jack) and black (rear speaker jack)
    or do you use something else

    No, I used a old small amp I had laying around for speakers.

    And I have a small low pass filter controller and Pyle headphone amp under my desk so I can conveniently tweak each channel for sound and transducers on the fly as well.

    okay
    being able to adjust the channels independently is a good idea
    thanks for the info and idea
