So I tried out a FULL sim racing rigg with like every premium thing on it and comming home to my on felt kinda awfull ngl lol. But one of the biggest things I noticed is how much the bass shakers did for the immersion.
So I have a Simlab Gt1 evo rig and wanna build a bass shaker setup. Dont want the cheapest possible but cant go full out either.
This is the shaker I have my eyes on:

Mostly because it seems like it could go down to 5hz? It sounds a bit to good for it to be true but maybe like 10-15hz?
Are there other better alternativs that gives some power in the low hz aswell? The guy who got me in to this had the buttkicker lfe under the seat and that like low hz rumble was really nice for the engine sounds and such.
Now for the amp and setup. I think I actually would prefer going for 4 shakers and was ondering how you think 3 around the seat and one at the pedal tray would feel? Since I really liked the "kick" you got when shifting and such and didnt care about the abs quite as much.
The amp is actually the biggest problem for me. Ive tried to narrow it down a bit

This is a 2 channel. Downside is that I will need two of them If i want 4 shakers

This is another. Still 2 channel but since it got 2x 350 W at 8 Ohm I should be able to run 2 at each channel if i wire them in a row? Downside of this is that its fan driven and that I need 2 of the 4 playing from the same channel and the other 2 play from the other channel and then i cant make all 4 handle different sound right?
Last. The mounting on the Gt evo . I dont want the vibrations just where I put the shaker like im guessing the mount to the seat will feel? So whats the best location for em to make the whole rig shake but not to isolated to one spot?
Im still new to this so every input is highly appreciated =) Cheers
