Hi mark,
Yeah I did want a lower frequency response, but as the way I want to do it is to make each seat a self contained unit there are a couple things I took on board. First is cost, several units would cost a fortune so the cheaper amp and shaker helps there plus an extra 10 hz might not be that worth the cost, especially as games simply arent going to go that low and this is primarily what I see me using it for. Also as this is a bit of a DIY experiment I'd obviously rather lose less if it goes pete tong. I'm not sure I can fit the larger unit inside one of my sofas yet so it seems the sensible option.
Ive decided to try the BK module for a couple reasons. Again one is cost as its an experiment, but the main one is that I can fit it inside the sofa with the module. Seeing as the amp is supplied as an open unit I can fit the required sockets (power and phono input) externally of the amp, in other words flush mount them on the underside of my sofa. This basically leaves the entire unit essentially one with the seat, and I'll effectively just need to plug the seat into the power and phono signal
I just hope a full range amp is fine working with the unit. I could try a dedicated sub amp from BK, but these are a little more expensive.
Still, I'll hopefully get a similar effect to you but at half the cost and without any separate amp unit lying around. Wait and see eh
