day three – Vibrator Bike make week

Lisa has joined us from London and we’re making good progress. We’ve received some less powerful transducers that will play higher frequencies. These will be attached to either side of the box and be powered from a 4 channel Lepy amp which will also drive the butt shaker under the seat. So including the Kenwood amp and the MOTU there are 3 items to be powered from the 12V battery. This means making a junction box. We also need exact measurements on the cables to run from the speakers to the amps which with the other tech will be housed under the box on a one-day-waterproof-easily-accessible-for fixing-and-charging shelf. We’re also using 2 pairs of minirigs installed on adjustable pivots at each corner of the box, with one minirig sub behind the angled end a tranported body can be lying against.

As ever with these new projects, there are no blue prints, so we get in and out of pieces of wood on the ground and measure and re-measure and lean against what could be a good angle and will these extra cms make the box too heavy or…? By the end of the day, there’s a trip to the local electronics store who have all the cables/cable to make all the cables and adaptations we need. Note. The box is no longer called the box. It’s the vibrating chamber.
