There are other such devices around but none come with the Buttkicker® LFE patented enclosed magnetic suspension which gives a more accurate sound than voice coil units. When it's hooked up to the supplied 1100watt power amp, you've got more bottom shaking power than a herd of elephants.
Yes, we did say 1100W. You can run it off your own amp if you'd like but you'll need a 700W minimum rated amp at true RMS, not peak music power which can give an inaccurate indication of a systems power output. Most home amplifier units are around 60W so we recommend Buttkickers own BKA1000-4 amplifier which we include with our Buttkicker® LFE (This is not the case with other retailers selling this product). The price of the Buttkicker® LFE includes the BKA1000-4 Power amp, Chair/couch Kit and cable kit. It's also maintenance free and virtually indestructible - a bonus for a device that spends its life shaking violently. It can be installed in-car for a completely boooombastic sound system or hooked up to your PC for a gaming experience par-excellence. Doom will never be the same again. The Buttkicker® LFE has been successfully installed in selected cinemas in the States and has even been installed in seating at gigs. We can imagine the delight on the bass players face when he twangs the big string and 300 people in the front row all jump out of their seats in unison. But now you can have it for your own home through Urban Junkie right now. Get one - and feel the earth move…
No preamplifier is required. For home theatre, just use a RCA cable to go from your processor's subwoofer out* to the RCA input on the ButtKicker Amplifier. Then, use 12 gauge speaker wire from the amplifier to the ButtKicker. It's as simple as that - plug 'n' play.
