Dayton Audio APA150 Amp With 2 BST-1 Bass Shakers Bundle

[Waldo Pepper 1,953]

The "Dayton Audio APA150 Amp With 2 Aura Pro BST-1 Bass Shakers" Bundle is back in stock if anyone cares.   I think it's a very good deal when compared to something like a ButtKicker.

I bought this combo from PartsExpress 3 or 4 years ago and I have one Aura Pro bolted under each butt cheek.      (2 channels 75W RMS x 2)

I use SimShaker for Aviators and my motherboard's onboard sound to drive it's Dayton amp.   SSA uses telemetry data from simconnect to output the appropriate tactile feedback.   It doesn't use the MSFS audio stream.

If you have an old amp laying around already,   they have a large selection of transducers.   https://www.parts-express.com/search?keywords=bass shaker&order=relevance:desc

I plan on adding to smaller transducers under my rudders pedals.

Sim Shaker for Aviators can drive up to 6 transducers.   https://simshaker.com/   - https://andres-shop.simshaker.com/software/20-simshaker-for-dcsw-sound-module-key.html

There is also a program named Opus which drives transducers in a similar manner.  http://www.opussoftware.co.uk/opusfsi/opusmsfs_ButtKicker.htm

Never tried Opus,  SSA works well.  Not opposed to trying Opus sometime.
