May 18, 20179 yr I have am excellent steel series head set but I would like to add a subwoofer speaker for when I fly thump thump piston props. Can I just add a subwoofer on its own or do I need to buy the speakers as well? ZORAN
May 18, 20179 yr Commercial Member One can certainly buy/run a sub-woofer on its own. It's the amp/preamp that would determine if you can hook it up. I had a 12" huge sub that I would connect to a Souncraftsman 400watt amp/preamp! But these head-knocking days are over. I now have a nice Logitech THX system. Two satellites and a 8" sub that works great for flying. You might want to consider a Buttkicker if you want to "feel" the thump thump of the piston. I have three hooked up so now I can have the volume down low but can still feel the vibrations throughout my body.

Varjo and HP VR headsets for mixed reality.

It picks up all the various vibrations right in sync. I've used one for six years in combo with a headset and it's great. With OPUS' Buttkicker subprogram, you can even refine the vibrations to be different for landing gear, brakes, flaps, etc. Forever indebted to the late Michael Greenblatt of FSGS.
