Force Feedback and Tactile Transducers?

[Skymeat]

Has anyone tried to tie a force feedback signal to an amp to drive a sub or tactile transducer?

i'm not sure how you could pull that off safely or why you would need to, most games these days have a dedicated LFE channel that can and do shake the room.

I think tactile transducers are only best when you have material specifically made for them. A great sub can shake the room pretty well, but it's not cheap to get a great sub.

Well what I'm trying to do is get a stereo response. Most modern game controllers have a left and right motor for FF. I wanted to mount a Buttkicker to each side of my game cockpit, so that tires hitting a rumble strip (etc...) would be felt on the left and right of the car. I want my sub to be free to play music while I drive.

i cant see this being done without having wires sticking out of your controller. but heck, im sure you could do it.
