Hi All,
New to this forum but not to racing and am taking my simulation to the next level.
I currently have a Fanatec GT2 & Clubsport Pedals running off the Rennsport Wheel Stand. Does the job but I'm ready for more. I just received my new T500RS and will be ordering the F1 Add On soon.
I have now ordered a GamePod GT2 Evo with Display Mount and PC/PS3 Holder. My aim to have this unit as one and completely independent of anything external except the Power Cable. The aim is to try some spring loaded casters or lockable heavy duty ones to make it moveable but then stable once I'm in.
So while I'm not mega rich and do not have unlimited budget, I don't mind spending on my one hobby that keeps me home (keeps wife happy) which takes me to the sound experience. I use the Turtle Beach PX5 for playing and chat so the Rumble effects is all I'm after.
Now that you have some background on what I'm doing, can someone assist with what the difference would be between ButtKicker Simulation Kit and ButtKicker mini Power Amplifier with one ButtKicker mini LFE.
Also, I'd love to run two transducers for left and right feel free to make recommendations. I understand there may be cheaper options which I'm happy to hear but to have it small (amp mount under seat or behind screen) with the rig being all-in-one is key.
LATEST UPDATES:
Well it's changed from being a self sufficient all in one to a full scale 5.1ch speaker set up and dedicated AV Rack running by it's side:
1 x GamePod EVO PRO (carbon firbre seat) with Thrustmaster T500 F1
1 x Buttkicker Home Theatre Wireless Kit for the LFE signal
2 x Buttkicker Mini LFE for Left & Right Tactile.
1 x Behringer A500 Stereo Amplifier & Behringer FBQ1502 Equaliser.
1 x 720p HDMI Projector and 90" Screen.
So much for keeping it all in one.
Also, this forum topic has grown really into a discussion around Tactile Transducers, Isolation, mounting, and like the title "experience needed" we are really getting it here. There are also discussions around related mods for immersion which is great.
So much information here that has really helped me go from the "i would like to have a bit of rumble" to really finding out how I can get so much more immersion and enjoy the sim experience.
Thanks..
