Overview:
Dayton Audio BST-1 High Power Pro Tactile Bass Shaker 50 Watts
The human ear has the ability to hear a wide range of sounds, however, some sound is simply too low to hear and must be felt through the body. Feeling this extremely low frequency sound adds a new dimension to your listening, gaming, and movie experiences.
With a Dayton Audio BST-1 Bass Shaker installed in your home or auto sound system, you'll feel those low bass notes or the thundering weight of a dinosaur's foot slamming against the ground as it approaches. Your favorite action movies will come to life as you feel the cannon blasts and explosions impacting your body! If you're into die-hard gaming the BST-1 Bass Shaker is the perfect addition to your gaming chair or couch! The power and impact of a football tackle puts you on the field and in the game! Feel the kick of your proton gun as it fires against the enemy!
Unlike subwoofers, the BST-1 Bass Shaker will not overload your listening area, and the perceived loudness of the BST-1 Bass Shaker improves listening at lower sound volumes. The engineers at Dayton Audio designed the BST-1 Bass Shaker to reproduce accurate, tactile sensations from your music and movie sound tracks. When a BST-1 Bass Shaker is installed on a resonant surface, it increases the portion of tactile sound as being "felt" beyond what is normally produced by subwoofers and ordinary speakers. Conventional subwoofers are traditionally considered optimized when you can feel rather than hear the bass. By using a BST-1 Bass Shaker in your system, this goal becomes easier to achieve -- enabling the subwoofer to perform at a more natural sound level.
A specially formulated nylon/fiber spider and the selection of quality hardware components allow the BST-1's internal motor structure to not only outperform the competition but increase the product lifespan. Simply put, with a Dayton Audio BST-1 Bass Shaker you can count on years and years' worth of amazing blasts, shakes, rolls, rattles, rumbles, thumps, bangs, and bumps!
Connecting a Single BST-1 Dayton Audio Bass Shaker
The impedance of the BST-1 Bass Shaker is 4 ohms. When used in a single unit configuration it must be hooked up to an amplifier that is either stereo or bridged mono, the same way you would connect a subwoofer.
Please consult the amplifier manual for details regarding the impedance rating of your amplifier.
Connecting Multiple BST-1 Dayton Audio Bass Shakers
Two or four Dayton Audio BST-1 Bass Shakers can be used in situations where more bass energy is desired or in larger applications. Connecting two in Series configuration will raise the impedance to 8 ohms, connecting two in Parallel will lower the impedance to 2 ohms, and wiring four BST-1 Bass Shakers in Series-Parallel will keep the overall impedance to 4 ohms. Again, always consult your amplifier's owners manual to verify it has the power capability that produce the wattage safely at various impedances.
WARNING: Do NOT exceed 50 watts RMS per Bass Shaker multiplied by the number of Shakers (example: 50 x 4 = 200 Watts RMS)
Installation Notes
HOME - Mounting the Bass Shaker to chairs or couches that are not fixed to the floor will provide the greatest effects. The Bass Shaker's energy will impact the user's body rather than travel through the furniture and disperse the energy into the floor. Isolating the furniture from the floor is highly recommended by using pads or rubber feet. Find a solid mounting area for your Bass Shaker(s) underneath and/or on the rear of the furniture's construction. Use four wood screws or stingers to mount the Bass Shaker to the structure. Should no solid mount exist it is recommended that one be constructed using hardwood or plywood. Try to avoid fabric or padding coming into contact with the Bass Shaker. It is important the Bass Shaker makes full contact with a solid flat surface. Recommended wire gauge is 14-16 AWG speaker wire.
AUTO - Mounting the Bass Shaker under the seats is highly recommended rather than on the seat itself. Move (or remove) your seat forward as far as possible, and identify the spot under the seat that vibrates the most by knocking on the flooring using a rubber mallet or soft hammer. Again, ensuring the Bass Shaker comes into full contact with the floor surface is critical to the performance of the Bass Shaker. Wiring in advance of the installation is recommended. Ensure your wire is without kinks or bends and that no bare wire is touching metal. Use four steel screws or stingers to mount the Bass Shaker to the floor of your vehicle. Recommended wire gauge is 14-16 AWG speaker wire.
WARNING: Always check under carpeted locations and recheck the mounting area so as to not cut or drill into any existing electrical wiring, airbag sensors, hydraulics, brakes, gas, or fuel lines.
ADDITIONAL NOTES AND SUGGESTIONS:
80 Hz or under low pass crossover suggested to reduce the possibility of high frequency sounds
Recommended Amplifiers: Dayton Audio SA70 for single Bass Shakers, Dayton Audio SPA250 for 2 - 4 Bass Shaker installations. For larger installations we recommend the Dayton Audio SPA1000 or SA1000.

Interstellar rocket launch scene: Wife: O_O Feels like the couch is taking off. I’m using it with a Fosi Tp-02 on lowest cross over setting. Waiting for a second shaker to even out the couch rumbles.

I used this with a small amplifier to make a DIY drum throne shaker. Used it at a gig and it worked pretty good! I can't compare it to a high-end butt-kicker or Porter throne as I have not used either of those but this worked pretty good!

Added this to my computer chair with a small amp and using voicemeeter bananas graphic EQ to just send the selected frequencies to the shaker. Adds another layer to your games.

Larger than I was expecting, but they are beefy and powerful. About the size of a dinnerplate, but I've got one mounted on my sim rig as a bass shaker, and I'll never go back. Pair this with one of those little 50W amps, and you've got a great system for adding a level of fun to the sim rig.

Have a 9.4 system. Installed these on the frame of my couch. Four screws drilled directly into the wood frame on back side of my couch. Buying doing so, the rumble goes through the whole frame of my couch. Didn't want to put it directly under the seat cushion and glad I didn't I have them tuned to about 60hz and give that perfect amount of feel when the base hits. Example: Watching "Top Gun Maverick" you get to feel the rumble of the jet engines which elevates the movie watching experience. Not good for sleeping, they will wake up if you pass out depending on what you watching. The key is to tune them based on your surround sound system. I run a Denon and it does have the option for "tactical transducers" so it's easy to manage the experience you want from them. If I'm watching just an average television show, I don't want to know they are there. Awesome addition if you want to actually feel the base kick while watching a move. Adds a different experience when playing video games as well.
