I'm gonna hack my couch
I got the second issue of Make magazine in the mail today and it has a project that I am dying to do - bass shakers that mount to your home theater seating. I think it will be the perfect addition to my manroom.
I had seen these similar devices from Buttkicker in the past; however, they were pretty expensive. The Make version, though, is only around $40 if you have an old stereo receiver around.
I ordered the Aura Bass Shaker speakers from partsexpress.com tonight for $29 (they were originally $100). Once I get them, the entire thing should only take about 30 minutes to get up and running. I'll post pictures and first impressions when it's finished.
BTW, Make has this couch hack available for free on their site.
