ELITE
ANGEROUS .. the chair
Howdy all,
Here's alittle somethin' I whipped up in my garage over the past few days. This project was inspired mostly by my love for ED but I think the oculus had a hand in there as well. Everything except for the seat itself, the butt kicker and the hotas was hand crafted(if you can call it that) by yours truly. For the seat mount I used 1/8 x1 1/4 angle iron and the base was a combo of 1" and 1 1/4" square tube stock from homedepot. the arm rest/hotas mounts are 3/4" birch hardwood (already laying in the garage) wrapped in mouse pad. feedback and design input welcome. UPDATE: I feel I must rehash my opinion of the BK lfe mini. seems I was a little spoiled by my previous experiment. I am now of the opinion that a single mini will suffice once the amp is tuned properly and the chair has proper "isolation" from the floor. Before I purchased the mini, I had placed two 500w Kicker comp 12" subs free air on the floor behind my chair and powered them with a crunch 1000.1 amp. needless to say, that configuration shook the entire room without ever making a sound. certainly no "slapping" like i still get from time to time with the BK. I figure that given the weight of the chair and the performance of a single mini, that 2 mini's will live up to the product name and I can decrease the amp's gain to eliminate the slap altogether.
