This is really cool, feel the stall buffet, guns, taking hits from enemy, wheels hitting the ground, rumble of the engine.

I just mounted it to the bottom rear of the seat, not sure on the wattage of the amp, looks pretty cheap though, speaker is a bose from the junk yard for 5 bucks, 400w power supply, heat sink, and some washers/bolts from Lowe's:grin:

Nice. Such things are also available for Drumsets (to feel the Basedrum), if any1 is interested.

Are you Using the normal Sound-Output?

I have read that it doesnt work fine.
Because it confuse the sound of the engine with the guns

Very nice jayrc I like your style. I take it theres no cone in the speaker and the washers on the shaft add bulk for more shake. I pulled a old force-feedback joystick apart to mount on my chair and amplify feedback but I shorted something out so now its in a box in my shed some were.:(

yeah, the 109 doesn't work as well but the spitfire is awesome, you'll never stall a spit or hurricane again

yep, cone is gone, I had to play with different amount of washers to get the most out of the little speaker, I experimented with a 12 inch sub with the cone cut and washers but I blew the bolt off the cone :grin:

p.s. you should really try again, it's so worth it
