these are left over from my last theater. they are new and unused. if you are thinking of installing shakers in chairs, these are great. i installed mine in berkline 088s and they were great.

make me an offer or trade for crt color calibration equipment. i know these go for roughly $30/pair on ebay

thanks,
robb

I have the slightly larger PRO versions in my car. They are great! 4 will kick butt (pun intended!) in an HT setup.

Ok, tell me these "shakers in your car" are in a box that you haven't got around to bringing into the house. you know like a golf ball that's been rolling around everytime you turn the corner or stop. There may be a supplementary question to this.

Nope, it's one of the rare things that actually got installed around here. Bought from Parts Express I think about 6 years ago. First they were in my Paseo, now they are in the Rav. Work great. I had to snap the heatsinks off to get them to fit under the set, but even at high volumes, they don't use much power.

I did find though that a lot of car amps don't like the load. I had a Fosgate and Alpine overheat and shut down, so I put them in series to get 16 ohms, and the amps worked fine. I'd recommend that for any home install as well.

wow! Supplementary question(s): What exaclty are you listening to and how exactly are you getting enjoyment out of having bass shakers in your car?

Damn, I could offer you a Minolta 2150 calibrator for them but I already offered it to you for free but you haven't answered. SO I'll trade straight across. Laughing

Yeah sorry, posted under the g/fs account.

I only put in bass shakers as my Rav 4 is always full of crap, ie projectors, so there's no place to put a true sub cabinet. I wouldn't call stock speakers with Rodex power amps and bass shakers super hi fi, but it rocks enough to keep me company on road trips.

I bought a little shitebox Paseo that I am going to trick out next year to be a boom car... but also with some mids. I'm aiming for 120-125db. Low by today's boom car standards, but way loud enough for me.

g/f or not I'm still wondering what you're rockin on with. I normally equate BassShakers to movies but what the hell, I guess Kim Mitchell's Soda might FEEL good too!
