Subject: Re: feeling bass frequencies
I like the balloon idea I once had that experience I was on
the bus going from the blind school to home and my bus driver gave some
ballons I think that I had about 3 and I placed them on the speaker of my
tape recorder and it almost sounded like stereo and yes I could both feel
and hear the base through the balloons. I would give it a try and see what
you think.
