Picked up a couple of JL Audio JX250/1D amps for the bass-shakes. They are inexpensive. Hope they will do the job, cleanly.
Could use one amp per tactile shaker?
I see the specs state 4 ohms is quite a bit cleaner then 2 ohms.

Anyone have any experience with the Rockford Fosgate Ibeam IB-200 bass-shaker?

Rockford brand is discontinued item, but it's really a Sonic Immersion VT200 Vibro Tactile Transducer Bass Shaker available at Parts Express.
Kind of pricey at $349.99.

Supposed to be stronger output?

I ordered two of these: Sonic Immersion VT200 transducers.

Also upgraded amp order to two JL Audio JX500/1D.



Read a review that sounds encouraging:

Best Tactile unit out there
I have used practically every tactile unit out in the market including Clark Synthesis, Aura Bass, Buttkicker and Crowson. It has the fastest transient response of all of them. I am a Pro Audio Engineer who has used these units to suplement the tactile aspect missing in In Ear Monitors. These by far are the most responsive, utterly earth-shaking capable of enormous vibratory transfer. It is not sluggish like a buttkicker, all oohmp and no detail, and it can handle more and produce more than a Clark Synthesis ( Raychem polyswitch protector clicks in way too soon.)It is quite expensive but sure worth it per pound force moved.


Another review stated "High-Def tactile bass" ..tight, articulate response.


We'll see...

Has no one heard of the Rockford Fosgate Ibeam IB-200 ?

I'd never heard or seen anything about them.

After a weekend of wheeling my jeep out at our camping area, I can say that the recently installed Sonic Immersion I-beam transducers are, simply put..brilliant.
I have them attached to a steel plate that is welded to each front seat frame..just below seat foam. Impact can be as little or as impactful as you want it.
Each Ibeam is powered by JL Audio JX500/1D with separate volume controls/bass knobs.
I prefer a small amount of tacticle effect to accentuate the sub. Great thing is, you can now feel the bass at lower listening levels. At full volume, plus Ibeam..WOW!
Timing is right on with the sub. These are not the typical $50 bass-shakers. One of those.."you get what you pay for"..deals. Thought I may need to run on separate channel with t/a? Not with this particular setup.
I have the JX500/1D crossover set at around 80Hz and the variable 45Hz Bass Boost gain set to max of +12dB. I'm looking for more of the kick drum effect rather than bass guitar.
I am so impressed with the result that I'm installing them in my Ram SQ and also in the upcoming F150 build.

A lot has to do with how they are mounted to the seat. With what I'm doing, you get maximum control at lowest possible volume levels. Keeps them inaudible.

Wow. Just experienced a bass shaker for the first time....it was the Aura b.s. my car is a old bmw with 2 jl 12w7s on 2 1200/1HD with a JL audio JD400.4 powering 4 JBL GTO 609 component sets and would rather go back to the stock harmon kardon 20 yr old speakers and 6x9's "upgraded" ""subwoofers"" 6x9 subwoofers! .....the fact is for me they are my least expensive component and provide butt kicking bass under my seat at a vol. level 2 that I would not experience until i pushed my 2 12's hard on 2k RMS. Claims of music seeming louder are 100% true. More specifically it feels louder too. I haven't bought every kind just these. For 2 @$50.00 each its a bold statement but when you have owned dozens of amps and hundreds of speakers....when I find something that costs the same as a avg. speaker and works even better when you pair it with ANY subwoofer in ANY Box. You will feel the lowest of lows even turned down at low vol.

If I'm not mistaken, Peter with PSSOUNDS runs shakers in his Accord

I plan on getting these Shadow-8 Single (T108SM) - Crowson Technology

Depending on how well one works under the seat I might go with 2 one behind the seat and one underneathe. I won't waste my money on adding any for the passenger I could car less about the passenger thats their problem.

I am still debating on getting the earthquake q10b but they are so bulky abd can't fit under the seat while they are both shallow but lack the really lower output under 20hz so we will see for sure.

May I know which part of the seat or vehicle you have it attached and do you have some pictures? Thanks.

Why even include the "B" in "Bass Shaker"?

Same reason there's a "P" in "Passive Radiator" [emoji1787]
