Something to try thanx quintin. This sub has a very thick wooden cabinet especially to keep all unnecessary vibrations out. The only place you seem to be able to feel the bass really is if you place your fingers gently on the front.
Someone once said you might try holding a balloon wich should pick up the vibrations. But I'm wondering if different kinds of materials might give you different kinds of detail. I don't know even where to begin researching this!!

This way, maybe, the sub could transfer some of it's bass through the chair or bank, through which you could maybe feel it? Maybe this is stupid, i don't know. -----Original Message----- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of André van Deventer Sent: Sunday, September 27, 2015 9:26 PM To: pc-audio@pc-audio.org Subject: feeling bass frequencies Hi all I sincerely hope this is not off topic for the list. If so the moderators must please let me know and I will request people to answer me off list. I have a very unique situation here. I have just had a second cochlear implant which resulted in my losing all frequencies below about 100 hz. This as many of you know results in you losing quite a deal of the lower bass sounds in music. Im researching some way of now compensating for this. The only way I can think up is to use my tactile sense to feel the missing frequencies. Maybe the brain may put the signals of the audio and visual cortex together and create some kind of a whole. What I have done is to lightly rest my fingers onto the front of my reasonable quality sub whoofer. It is then indeed possible to do this. But its really not the most comfortable position to sit in also. Another thing if you turn up the bass too much, the harmonics starts to distort the cochlear implants. So Im wondering if someone has any thoughts on this rather unique challenge to share?
