Hmm. Interesting. Having decided that it works I got down under the seat and tidied up by putting the rest of the screws in and tightening the whole thing up. 

This has (unsurprisingly I suppose) tightened the bottom end but lessened the giblet rattling effect of the bass.

Mind you the chair is beginning to disintegrate so it's still doing something. 

Going to mount it on the back just to try it out. 

I think you need to space it away from the chair with a stack of washers or similar.

Will it work as a slimming aid, firm up the glutes?

As a long term user I can confirm that this is indeed the case. I have to ration it’s use now because I don’t have room for an eight pack

I don't know what you'd call it actually.

The marketing tagline could include

"putting the A$$ into BASS"

"something for your bottom end"

"putting your roots through your glutes"

I have a big bag of walnuts that need cracking.  What's your hourly rate?

[Howling with laughter] Nobody can complain about a noisy cleavage if you're sat on it I suppose.

Nautical but nifty enough.  Sounds a bit like something @Bridgehouse might say.

You'd best get your coat.  You're surrounded by a lot of us old fellas you know.  We try not to be bitter about our bottomly woes when whippersnappers remind us about them but there are limits.

Heeheehee

I followed this advice 👆 and what a difference! 🤯 

Soldered cables and fitted a block (heat shrink is my new favourite toy) IMG_20200809_123223.thumb.jpg.2c49f52a70d0bdcc63531700dac6f6ab.jpg

IMG_20200809_123154.thumb.jpg.01ba350e9dec5e1f47ecac43451958a8.jpg

Then used nuts and washers as spacers

and oh my goodness what a joy! Not only is the love seat back to its throbbing best but the sound quality is just extraordinary. No need for a practice amp - my chair sounds just fine thank you. 

It's quiet enough you could practice at night without headphones and not wake the neighbours but easily audible, and responsive to the tone controls on the amp. 

Comes into its own however when you also use a headphone amp. An immersive, virtual reality experience. With free haemorrhoid and prostate massage thrown in.

@stewblack The connector block you have used in your last photo will become loose over time.  The vibration from the driver will loosen the terminals.

If the wires that go from the connector block are solid core (from the photo it appears you have used a bit of twin and earth, discarding the blue sheathed neural core?) then push fits would be ideal, connect and forget.  If the conductors are stranded then push fits would be difficult, but normal Wago style lever connectors would work.

When not playing bass I'm a spark.

P.S. I won't say anything about your incorrect colour sheathing.

This conversation is becoming a little uncomfortable.

Not, however, as uncomfortable as sitting on my seat has become. 

We have a problem. The little exciter has become so excited it's begun to get a little warm. 

About as warm as the centre of an average sized sun, I'd say.

I thought I could smell something cooking and it turns out that it was my fundament.

So now you have flushed cheeks?
