Feedback - try this at home?

[ER]

I used to have a small powered speaker bolted to the back of my headstock with a pot to increase or decrease the level of "feedback". Kind of a novelty, eventually took it off in favor of putting my headstock against the amp when I wanted that sound like this;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vDDpPBP3L0

So I received the 16 ohm exciter transducer from Parts Express today. Does anyone have any thoughts on how much power it might take to drive it and a suggestion for an amplifier? I still haven't decided for sure where to get the signal to drive it... I am thinking that I'll try it with the Strat first. rj

I haven't had a chance to play with mine yet. I was planning on starting with the Ruby amp from Runoffgroove:

You'll probably need a switch to reverse the polarity. The driver can handle a bit more wattage than the Ruby can put out, so something more powerful might be needed, but this might be a good place to start.
