Re: Bass Shaker?


You would use an RCA splitter and connect them to the same output that your sub is connected to. Happy rumbling!

Re: Bass Shaker?


You also bought an amp for the shakers, correct?

He assumed you had an amp for them. From the TX SR 705 one end of the splitter connects to your sub, the other end connects to an amp, the amp powers the shakers.

Re: Bass Shaker?


Under what category are the shakers listed? Kind of a difficult site to find anything.

What subs will you be using? That will determine how much power you'll need.

Re: Bass Shaker?


We need to know the Xmax of the subs, whether it's 8 mm or 18 mm will determine what can be done with them.

Re: Bass Shaker?


Sonotube suppliers (called formatube or form tube here in Aus I think)


Genuine Sonotube (I have been informed): Bower & Lever or Hudson's hardware (Bower & Lever were cheaper though).

Bower & Lever
37 Victoria St
Windsor
Brisbane
Ph:3857-2018
(Hudson's Hardware dearer - quoted $355 for 762 x 3metre length)

Open:
6am-4.30pm weekdays
6.30am-11am Saturdays

About 13mm thick walls
Internal diameters:
610mm x 3 metre = $210.61
610mm x 6 metre = $285.51
762mm x 3metre = $314.92

Delivery = $44

These prices were valid about this time last year - probably dearer now

Hope that helps?

By the way - I have 4 jaycar bass shakers (2 x 2 units wired in series) and use and old NAD amp to power them (sacrilege I know). Works very well though and is especially popular with the neighbours.

Re: Bass Shaker?


As for amps for the sub - can't go past the Berhinger EP1500 or EP2500 for value for money - DJ-warehouse and/or New-Media are probably the cheapest suppliers in Aus at the moment.
