I'm working on my twin sega driving cabs with PC's fitted for multi driving game/sim setup

The Subwoofers in the seat aren't great and most now seem to have suffered from foam rotting so would be to be re foamed anyway. the audio system I fitted in them are Dell 5.1 PC setups I got one from the tip initially so bought 2nd cheap, the Subwoofer box which has quite a weight to it are fitted in the machine base, the sub speaker was dual coil so I took off one set and wired to the in seat subwoofer which just ruins it to be honest as you can't crank the bass up, guessing the foam is shot now too so even worse and with unplugged the bass cranked up full gives the small front and gullbox speakers that much needed full range sound, so I was thinking instead of seat subwoofer it's time to change them to Bass Shaker fitted to bottom of seat so you get the feel of engine revs etc but question is what SIZE would give enough but not over top to point it's annoying

Annoyingly there was a guy selling one of these on ebay other week, I was watching it while looking at others and got an offer, he was showing 2 pictured but didn't say he's selling 2, then I found he had ended the listing and relisted but this time the 2 of them for £65 but had already sold :( been so busy working on the machines i'd forgot to keep looking

I'd aim for back of the seat get the sound in your chest, I'm looking at this

I was thinking one on back of seat too but not sure what is best, was thinking do you want 2 lol seat and back, its a bit of money just to find out it doesn't offer what you want or it's too much

Been looking at these and the BST-2 and was tempted to buy 2
Was thinking I could just make a metal plate with it fixed on and bolted under seat where Sub goes but depends how good it works, might need to try different things

Subwoofer in the Dell 5.1 setup is 6ohm so either 4ohm of 8 could get away with

amazon got em reduced but thought my account probably closed, only opened one a few years back again to buy Friday 13th box set then remembered I bought couple of 3D blurays not long ago so signed in to buy 2 of them and said I could only buy 1 o_O
They had another said it was new but returned item which wasn't much cheaper but would let me buy that also so just over £60 for both
I was expecting it to say out of stock after I'd bought mine but no?!? so whats that all about

If these are too much I could add them to the Home Cinema under each seat, if not too much I'll probably buy 2 real good ones for the Cinema :LOL:

Does the job in a sim rig but sadly overpriced given that elsewhere they are almost half the price.
