    Hi Nic

    I think that mounting them directly to your wooden floor would be just fine and you will probably find that you will limit the amount of vibration to that 'just enough' amount to get the feeling of engines moving, etc. My buttkicker is only turned not quite half-way and I get plenty of the sensation. I cant see how anything could be harmed by it being mounted this way.

    I would think it'd be best to take it from the main FS PC.

    Thanks Eric, I'll give that a try.

    Audio wiring ain't really my thing! I've got a 5.1 surround card in the PC so not too sure which output to take the feed from, i.e. the lead that goes to the amp that will drive the bass shakers ??? Should this be straight off the PC (and if so which output), or off the lead that goes to the subwoofer on the surround system.

    Nic,

    I have this setup -2 woofers mounted under the cabin floor, at the rear - this means below the back of the seats.

    I connect to a 120W car amplifier, and take the feed from the MSFS pc sound card via a splitter.

    Combined with IVIBE seats and separate speakers also from FS behind the MIP.

    I run 2 sets of PMsounds - one with speakers behind the MIP for avionics, and one on the instructor station for APU etc.

    The effect is pretty good, and the vibration levels seem just right.

    There is also plenty of scope for tuning between all the sounds.
