Hi everyone!

Great to be in the forum.  We thought you might be interested in some more examples of videos with our guitar:

Much more obvious FX sounds than the tonewood which only really seems to deliver a decent reverb. In comparison the delays on hyvibe sound much punchier, clearer and less muddy based on the videos. And the phaser and chorus fx great!

But then you're tied into a specific guitar which is the turn off for me.

Is after market fitment a possibility?

Ah....OK! You are proper intrepid with your explorations in guitar sound! :)

Those speakers are heavy man - but bloody loud granted

This looks interesting but not what you'd call pretty...

Thanks! We get great sound quality primarily because we are exciting the top plate of the guitar. 

Unfortunately at this time we are only offering our system embedded in a guitar, sorry!

Without giving too much away is it a possibility or is there some irreversible "permanency" required in terms of exciter attachment?

With the right tools, anything can be removed :).

Dayton Audio DAEX19CT-4 Coin Type 19mm Vented Exciter 5W 4 Ohm

Dayton Audio's 19 mm DAEX19CT-4 coin type exciter features the same ability to turn nearly any surface into a speaker, as other exciters and tactile transducers, only in a more compact package for working with smaller surfaces. This exciter's small size enables audio reproduction in places never imagined: toys, monitors, cabinet doors... even windows!

A neodymium magnet is employed to create maximum magnetic flux around the proprietary voice coil for increased sensitivity when compared to similar sized exciters. In turn, this reduces power requirements and makes it possible to use very small audio amplifiers, without sacrificing total output. Cooling holes placed strategically on this exciter's housing allows for higher power handling, for applications where more output is desired, while maintaining a small form factor.

To ensure maximum acoustic energy transfer between the transducer and the surface to which it is attached, 3M VHB (Very High Bond) adhesive is pre-applied... just peel and stick! Two PCB solder points keep installation and wiring as compact as possible.

Note: An exciter's frequency response and sensitivity are completely dependent on the exciter's designated surface. Thinner, smaller materials will tend to be louder and create a mid/tweeter response. Thicker, larger materials (with multiple exciters) will be slightly quieter but result in a more full-range sound.

Specifications: • Power handling: 5 watts RMS • VCdia: 19 mm • Nominal impedance: 4 ohms • Re: 3.8 ohms • Le: 0.04 mH • Fs: 637 Hz • Dimensions: 1.3" (33 mm) dia. x 0.51" (13 mm) H • Adhesive dimensions: 0.85" (21.5 mm) outside diameter, 0.63" (21.75 mm) inside diameter • Weight: 31.5 grams.

Followers of Hyvibe might be interested in the video I made of installing the unit into one of my nylon strung guitars. I have included alternative methods making it much easier to connect the wires including a cutaway inspection hole in the back.
