Ok, so I've seen these things on a few web sites: http://www.thebuttkicker.com/ This is a small sub-woofer that hooks to the throne of a drum kit and allows you to "feel" the bass. Musicians Friend has them listing for $499.00 for ONE SPEAKER UNIT without amplifier (actually I think they're on sale for about half that right now, but u get the picture). Here's the link to musicians friend: http://tinyurl.com/3c7ld [musiciansfriend.com] Recently, I got a surplus catalog for electronic parts and I came across an item they have. Here's the description: ----------------------- CLIP ----------------------- BASS SHAKER -- VIBRATION TRANSDUCER Aura # AST-1B-4. Feel the sound! Ideal for home theater and car audio. Bass Shakers, when properly installed in seats or under wood floors, cause the chairs or floors to resonate to make you "feel" the explosive sounds in movie soundtracks or video games. Transmits frequencies under 100 Hz. This effect is achieved without excessively high bass volume. 4 ohm impedance. Rated 25 Watts RMS continuous. 50 Watt max. 4.75" diameter x 2.35" high. 2.5 lbs each (5 lbs per pair). Installs easily with 4 screws. Connects like a speaker. Sold in pairs. CAT# AST-1B Your Price: $35.00 per pair ----------------------- /CLIP ----------------------- here's the link (s): http://tinyurl.com/8hf1 [allelectronics.com] I figure you bolt one of those puppies to the throne, then add one of these: http://tinyurl.com/3gfh5 [canakit.com] (a 20W assembled Bridged Power Amplifier for $15.00) and you got yourself a nice little butt kicker on the cheap! :) Vern -- Vern Graner CNE/CNA/SSE | "If the network is down, then you're Senior Systems Engineer | obviously incompetent so why are we Texas Information Services | paying you?
