Shocking alternative to a subwoofer

Well some may want to substitute couch for bed but to each is own!

Instead of using a passive woofer box on a LFE amp, run your speaker wires to an oil burner ignition transformer. Of course the xformer is ideally suited for 60Hz so Eminem would probably shock your dick into the next dimension. (I would not recommend this!)

Imagine a movie like War of The Worlds with the first attack scene, up close and personal if you would. Those "death ray" things packed a tremendous wallop LF wise.

So instead of shaking the walls, moving the air we want a twist. Wire the transformer secondary (the terminals that produce the high voltage - 10,000 volts at 23 mA to be precise if the primary sees 120VAC at 60Hz) so that one side is strapped to a spring in the couch and the other to a floor mat containing wires. Modify as necessary to fit YOUR room!

Now when these tripod things cut loose, everyone will be in for a hell of a shock! I really want to try this (I have quite a high tolerance to pain from electrical shock) but I'm not sure how my wife would react.

For apartment dwellers this may be a decent compromise as you won't wake the neighbors and if you screw on the couch they will think you're doing the dastardly deed yet again. 😛

Cheers!
 
Well 23mA at 10kVAC does hurt and burn but do realise that the input will be nowhere near this level. It definitely will be felt though, probably like touching a sparkplug wire which tickles to surprises.

Now if you wanted to do something more insane like a "Saw Movie Effect" then a pole pig wired in reverse (13,200Volts at 100's of mA!) would do the trick; setting the couch on fire and killing everyone. Of course the camera behind the mirror glass is capturing the action for the next Saw 3...

Cheers!
 
I'm a bit confused, I understand the technicalities of it, but the way you worded it makes it difficult to understand how it will be setup.

BTW you're insane.
 
This would at least have a modicum of relevance to audio if you were discussing the plasma tweeter. I thought maybe thats what it was, some variation of the plasma tweeter.

But this is just stupidness.
 
Sounds dangerous!

EDIT:

What's there not to understand here? It's along the lines of motion simulation. If you've ever been to theme parks you have experienced these. Shocking the audience is a first though. :Q
