The only tactile transducer designed specifically to take advantage of the .1 and LFE channels, the ButtKicker LFE features extended low frequency response for powerful bass response and special effects. The ButtKicker LFE (low frequency effects) utilizes a patented magnetic suspension which is different from any other speaker or shaker and can be used couches, theater seating, platforms, and any type of structure. The ButtKicker accurately reproduce the "feeling" range of many natural and man-made sounds, such as earthquakes, thunderstorms, rocket launches, waves, explosions, tornadoes, volcanoes, dinosaurs, sound effects and all styles of music. Different from other shakers or tactile transducers that use voice coil technology, the ButtKicker is much more powerful, more musical (linear) and offer true infrasonic or low frequency response with their resonant frequency of 9 Hz and range of 5 - 200 Hz. One ButtKicker LFE will easily replace 2 - 4 or more of the other types of shakers previously available, and perhaps more importantly; it is virtually indestructible and maintenance free. The ButtKicker is used in: Theme park attractions; Specialty theaters; Simulators; Virtual reality machines; Arcade and amusement rides/games; and Custom Home theaters. If you are looking to delight and electrify yourself and others with an affordable and easy to use solution, now is the time to incorporate the ButtKicker into your design.

Summary: Wow something that works as advertised
Comment: Ok, so you've read all of the positive reviews about the buttkicker and if you're like me you're thinking "is this thing really as good as everyone says it is?" in my opinion NO it's BETTER! I purchased the Buttkicker LFE Kit and was prepared to be dissatisfied as I have been with other products in the past that have gotten "rave reviews". The Buttkicker LFE Kit is not exactly inexpensive but for the most part the quality of the components is excellent. If you're a bass junky like me who is always getting yelled at to "turn it down!" you'll love this thing. Be aware that the performance you get is directly related to how you mount the transducer. I have mine mounted on an 18"x72" piece of 3/4" MDF which is screwed directly to the bottom of a futon. The results are amazing! The first movie I watched was "Happy Feet" and in the scene where Mumbles and his friends go sliding down the glacier the effect was so immersive (and intensive) that I giggled like a school girl. The way I have it mounted the Buttkicker will shake the futon so hard that my 100" projection screen looks blurry and I have to keep pushing my glasses back up on my nose. Ok it's not for everyone, but if you want to add another dimension to your home theatre and like things that are just a little bit "over the top" get one you won't be disappointed.

Summary: How To Rock
Comment: The Buttkicker adds a bit of shake to your home theatre. It doesn't replace the subwoofer, but sort-of turns the floor into a lower subwoofer. And I love it. But there are some things you should know.
First, the LFE Kit (with Amp) is probably the best choice to start with because you can't drive it from your receiver - not enough power. So getting in the game will cost you around $500. Which is more than for Aura Bass Shakers, but far better.
Second, one LFE Kit will do a sofa nicely, but if you, like me, mount it under your floor, you're gonna need two. Possibly more, but probably two. Because that's a LOT more mass to shake, and otherwise they'll be maxxing out and making a loud knocking noise.
Third, it's not like riding a rollercoaster. You'll feel the floor shake from loud sound effects, bombs, etc., but don't expect magic. It makes the movie more real, but it doesn't toss you around.
All that said, it's a great addition. If you can afford the cost-of-entry, you'll be amazed how shallow the system feels with it off.
