Spring noise
Does not work well with my recliner. There are times when there is too much spring vibration under my recliner. I'm looking to place it under a loveseat or sofa. I think I will like it alot better. |  | Reviewed on 2008-06-22
Kicks butt!
I had wanted a Buttkicker for a long time, but wondered if it was really worth $400. I finally decided to take a chance. Not only was it worth every penny, I'm kicking my butt for not buying it sooner. I have an amazing sound system in my home theater, and this was the icing on the cake. Stop reading the review, and order one (you'll be happy you did). I was very impressed with the quality, and the amp weighs a ton. | | Reviewed on 2008-05-30

Transformed my home theater experience!
Regardless of your nice high-end home theater speaker system this piece of equipment will give you an experience you won't get otherwise. The transducer isn't just a generic vibrator. This unit modulates the vibration to perfectly match what you hear. It isn't just a 'shaker' for your couch. Vibrations are transmitted with great accuracy as far as frequencies go. Watching Band of Brothers, Mission Impossible 3, Saving Private Ryan, and many more with this unit has been something out of this world. It makes you feel like you are there in the action. Explosions in movies, a tank just passing by, a door being slammed shut, you name it, and this thing makes you feel like you are there when it was being filmed. I highly recommend it! I'm a happy camper. The immersion factor goes up quite a few notches. | | Reviewed on 2007-04-20
Added The Missing Link To My Home Theater
Where to begin? Should I start about how this thing litterally kicks butt, or the excellent build quality? The LFE Buttkicker kit is now easily my favorite piece of home theater equipment, as the title of the review says it added the missing link to it. Everythings packaged extremely well, with the amp receiving some extra padding due to its weight. Now for me this wasn't a plug-n play install, it took me over probably 5 or 6 hours over the course of 2 days to get the thing installed properly. Don't get me wrong, you can have the kit ready to go in 15-20 minutes, I did, but the effects were only ok. One always needs to tinker with new electronics before they find that sweat spot, and this is the case with the Buttkicker LFE kit. At first I mounted it under my couch using the mounting kit, this installation worked pretty well, except that one end was rattling off my hard basement floor. Therefore I put a rug under the couch, this reduced the rattling but it was still present. I then mounted it under a T junction under the couch, and the rattling was pretty much gone. I still had to tighten some bolts, and even remove a bracket underneath for the kicker to have enough room. The effects were now pretty good, although I thought they could be even better. I therefore made my own mounting plate out of wood, and attached it across these two metal supports on my theater couch (with bolts of course). After doing this I noticed a substantial change in vibration, it was over my entire body more so. I concluded that the best effect will be given when the unit is somehow attached directly to your couch, that way the couch and the Buttkicker almost as one piece.
The build quality is outstanding, probably 90% of the parts are made of metal, which is really nice considering a lot of things are being made out of plastic today.The Buttkicker LFE kit will give you a better movie experience, just don't expect to much, it doesn't toss you around. You may also want to check your receivers LFE settings, mine was set to "0", I changed this to -10db, the result was a much deeper response from the Buttkicker, very nice indeed.
Overall I'm extremely impressed, I plan on getting another LFE unit for my other couch.
