My seats, amps, and shakers (aura pros) all have arrived so now I'm trying to figure out the best way of mounting them so I get the most out of them. The goal is to get them in a location that the majority of the "chair" throughout will get the effect rather than just the "spot" (if that makes sense to you?) In the search I have only been able to find one post on this so far (thanks Jamis!).

Just looking for as many ideas or thoughts before doing them.

Did or would you....Make a platform that will mount between both sides of the chair and have the shaker in the center (like a bridge)? Just mount them to the bottom backside (like above pic)? A small plate that one or more of the legs sits on with shaker attached to it? Or "_________"

Really hoping to get some feedback, pictures, suggestions, what you did and do or do not like about it, and so on

Thanks, appreciate you replies!

I still have no complaints on my mounting location. My guests all love it and many think it's an effect of the subwoofer.

The only other place I could think to mount them would be on a piece of plywood fastened to the bottom metal frame (near the floor). This was way too much hassle for me.

Thats exactly the spot I was thinking about after 20 mins of looking at the chair upside down! Cutting a piece to fit between inbetween these 2 rails, attach with a few L brackets, and mount the shaker right in the middle. Wondering if from that point there will be enough tranfer to the chair
