After a lot of searching around the net, I have finally ended up here at gtplanet and I hope this is a very on-topic post for this forum.
Bit of history for anyone in the same situation as myself...
I essentially started with a poor man's tactile feedback setup for gaming. I had a couple AuraSound AST-2B-4 bolted to the bottom of my office chair powered by a Dayton Audio APA150 150W in bridged mode with the speakers wired in a series. Crossover set to 50hz and I have been using this to game for 3 years. It provides an excellent level of tactile feedback and really brings games to life. So move forward a few years and I replace my office chair with another chair that is much more solidly made. Vibrations don't pass through this chair nearly as well. ALSO, I picked up Elite Dangerous. So I was in my new chair, with the old AuraSound's in ED and thinking wow...I need more punch. I should also mention I'm using philips fidelio x2 headphones which are really awesome.
So now I'm in research mode and scour the net for information. I come up with my new setup which is currently an iNuke 1000DSP (I have already decided to update to the 3000DSP) with 2 ButtKicker Advance BK4-4 bolted to the bottom of this chair. The iNuke is in bridge mode with the advanced run in a series. So now I'm attempting to tackle this beast and learn how to get the most out of it. All my searching lead me to this forum where I see a ton of info listed. My main goal is to understand the iNuke settings and how tactile feedback works in general. I downloaded Room EQ Wizard and pulled up the RTA Window so I can watch the ingame sounds and see where the punch is needed.
So...I've tried messing with the Para EQ settings a bit but I fear I'm a bit of a novice so I wanted to know if anyone could point me to some getting started settings? Any advice on where to cross over and advice on how to shape the signal a bit would be much appreciated. If I go by Mr Latte's advice I should probably slap some clark synthesis to my office chair and split the upper range.
If I'm missing an obvious thread please let me know...I'm still searching and reading in the forums. Thank you.
