Hi all,
I've been reading through the excellent posts in this forum regarding tactile immersion and am experimenting with how to mount them to my 80/20 rig.
Goal:
I'm looking for input on how I currently have them mounted and I welcome suggestions on different mounting methods. I want to get them set up so that I have good tactile feedback without going crazy trying to get it to be perfect.
As I said, I've been reading a ton here and on the iRacing forum, but my head is spinning from all of the different ways that people are mounting these things and I don't know what they're supposed to sound and feel like. Pics are below.
Parts I'm working with:
I'm open to any input the community has. Mounting these things is testing my patience a bit; it all just seems so complicated.

Parts I'm working with:
- Chassis
- Self-designed aluminum extrusion, all 15 series (1515 and 1530)
- Measures approx. 53cm (21in) wide by 152cm (60in) long
- Seat is a Corbeau Baja RS
- Transducers
- ADX Maximus (x4)
- Amp
- WONDOM AA-AB33182 4x100W at 4 Ohm Class D Digital Audio Amplifier Board STA508 (x1)
- Mean Well MW NES-350-24 24 VDC 14.6A 350W Regulated Switching Power Supply (x1)
- WONDOM AA-AB33182 4x100W at 4 Ohm Class D Digital Audio Amplifier Board STA508 (x1)
- Isolation
- Diversitech MP4-E E.V.A. Anti-Vibration Pad, 4" x 4" x 7/8" (x4)
Notes:
- Each one of the Maximus are bolted to a VESA adapter plate to give it some backing.
- Seat is mounted to the rig with a 15 series corner bracket bolted to each of the four threaded mounting holes on the seat frame.
- I'm going to use some kind of anti-vibration mat underneath the entire chassis, so I'm just concerned about isolating different parts within the chassis.
- I'm in the US, I have never used a transducer before, and I'm planning on using SimVibe chassis mode.
Questions:- Each one of the Maximus are bolted to a VESA adapter plate to give it some backing.
- Seat is mounted to the rig with a 15 series corner bracket bolted to each of the four threaded mounting holes on the seat frame.
- I'm going to use some kind of anti-vibration mat underneath the entire chassis, so I'm just concerned about isolating different parts within the chassis.
- I'm in the US, I have never used a transducer before, and I'm planning on using SimVibe chassis mode.
- The front transducers are mounted directly to the chassis base, not directly connected to the pedal frame. Would I be better off mounting them to the cross members to be able to localize the vibration more?
- The two rear transducers - should I mount to the chassis base like the front is so that it's even, or underside of the 80/20 seat base, or directly to the seat?
- Has anyone found isolators that are appropriate for use under the pedal plate, i.e. does not cause movement of the whole area under pedal pressure. Pedals are Protosimtech PT-2 with 50kg loadcell and 80a durometer bushing.
TIA!
