DIY methodology

Sorry for being so simplistic here. Do I have this right? regardless of cross bar design or otherwise, the goal is to transfer the head vibration through some medium (usually foam) to the peizo, which sits on some sort of platform (cross bar or otherwise). Is that basically it? I think building a prototype is an easy way to see this and I am plannig on that. Thanks.

Yep, you got it. its just a little more complex than that but thats the general idea.
