I recall going to Best Buy when I was a young lad and seeing these bass shakers. They are made by a company called aura. Now, I for one am not into car audio very much, nor do I care, but a recent trip with a friend that had a bass shaker change my mind. Anyone have any experience with bass shakers?

Never seen or heard of them.

 

they hit hard. You really wont be able to hear much of it, but you will definetly feel it..

 

I actually have a set hooked up to my home theatre couch.

They sell a ($2000) system similar, called Clarke Sonic Transducers, but I went a little ghetto with my BassShaker Pros and a 100 watt amp. Very effective!

If you are interested in putting some in your '8, make sure you get the set that includes the 100 watt digital amp, it comes EQ'ed for the shakers out of the box.

S

 

so what do they do?

 

Thanks stealth!. I don't think they will fit under my seat. i was thinking somewhere in the trunk, but it will surely shake the shyt out of it!

remember pagers? and how they used to vibrate? Just think of a really big one.

 

what are pagers?

haha just kidding. this would be sweet, do it!

 

either a bass shaker, sas bazooka tube with built in amp, or one of those bass boxes with built in amp...hmmmmmmmmm

 

if you just want some subtle bass, get one of those bazooka tubes.

 

bazooka i will do! I found a good sale at the local circuit city for a 10 inch cheap. This is the one with the built in amp.

 

i want those in my car!!

 

ok decided to go with bazooka..but i still wouldnt mind having some bass shakers..

 

So basically this is a huge rumble feature similar to game console controllers? Do you mount these bass shakers under the seats?

 

I have never heard of these things. How big are they. cant really tell in the picture.


morotorMotor - that rabbit picture is hilarious.

 

put those bad boys underneath your seat....."if you see this RX-8 a rockin'......"

 

Thanks.

 

ive seen them... typically for home theaters... you install them under the risers and it rumbles.. ex. like jarastic park.. when a dinosaur hits the ground and rumbles it shakes replicating the rumble from the movie...

 

Yeah, you mount them to the frame of the seat, underneath or behind. They're popular for small cars like Miata's where you can't fit a sub or a sub would sound like crap (ie convertable).
Parts Express used to sell them but I don't know where you could get them now.

 

i think only directly from aura

 

this thread refuses to die...hahaha!!!

 

it will never die unless someone installs the bass shaker on their 8!

 

you first....

 

i gonna install a bass shaker and a bass tube...hahah infact i'll put the bass shaker at the end of the tube instead of the sub....OoOoOooooOOhhhh!!!
