Can we agree on the term “chair” - things may otherwise become confusing and potentially very messy indeed.

tauzero Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 5 hours ago, stewblack said: Hmm. Interesting. Having decided that it works I got down under the seat and tidied up by putting the rest of the screws in and tightening the whole thing up. This has (unsurprisingly I suppose) tightened the bottom end but lessened the giblet rattling effect of the bass. Mind you the chair is beginning to disintegrate so it's still doing something. Going to mount it on the back just to try it out. I think you need to space it away from the chair with a stack of washers or similar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I followed this advice 👆 and what a difference! 🤯 Soldered cables and fitted a block (heat shrink is my new favourite toy) Then used nuts and washers as spacers and oh my goodness what a joy! Not only is the love seat back to its throbbing best but the sound quality is just extraordinary. No need for a practice amp - my chair sounds just fine thank you. It's quiet enough you could practice at night without headphones and not wake the neighbours but easily audible, and responsive to the tone controls on the amp. Comes into its own however when you also use a headphone amp. An immersive, virtual reality experience. With free haemorrhoid and prostate massage thrown in.

BillyBass Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 (edited) @stewblack The connector block you have used in your last photo will become loose over time. The vibration from the driver will loosen the terminals. If the wires that go from the connector block are solid core (from the photo it appears you have used a bit of twin and earth, discarding the blue sheathed neural core?) then push fits would be ideal, connect and forget. If the conductors are stranded then push fits would be difficult, but normal Wago style lever connectors would work. https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Manufacturers/Wago_Connectors/Wago/index.html When not playing bass I'm a spark. P.S. I won't say anything about your incorrect colour sheathing. Edited August 9, 2020 by BillyBass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewblack Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 This conversation is becoming a little uncomfortable. Not, however, as uncomfortable as sitting on my seat has become. We have a problem. The little exciter has become so excited it's begun to get a little warm. About as warm as the centre of an average sized sun, I'd say. I thought I could smell something cooking and it turns out that it was my fundament. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
