I own a original buttkicker with a 2x350 watt bridged amp (the original package)

It is connected to a construction that stands on rubber isolators which has room for 2 chairs or a couch.

However i have mixed feelings. For some movies it is really great. For other movies the effect is too much.

It improved when i limited the frequency feed to the unit with a crossover. That is mainly since i was using all my speakers as small, so the low frequency of all speakers was feed to the LFE output as well.
Before the crossover it resulted to having fibration on moments you not expect it (or not want it) because there was information feed from all channels. So heavy voices, doors etc, all gave tactile feedback.

2nd improvement was the use of a noise gate. Basicly that opens when a certain threshold is reached and than closes also when the signal goes below a threshold. So it limits again the effect of the buttkicker in time a bit.

Now i get tactile feedback when there is really something happening, and not all the time in one movie, while another movie has not tactile feedback at all.


In the last year and half or so i did not even bother to switch it on. 8 months of that i was not living in my own house also..
