This system brings out the feeling of a movie that the director originally intended, but SPL's alone cannot produce this feeling. I have a pretty nice system and I cannot believe the difference with the Buttkickers installed. I have revisited my collection of movies and even when you know there is a scene of excitment coming, you cannot prepare for the feeling or jolt that comes with the LFE kit. When properly setup, this is totally awesome. Setup is easy, time consuming, but easy. You don't want the amp set so high that movement is evident by voices...set it up so it is transparent. You want the Buttkicker to work in harmony with your subwoofer. Now, you will feel what you are hearing.

I purchase the Buttkicker LFE Kit along with the wireless transmitter. I have a four piece section (L shaped) and was told I'd need multiple LFE's to feel it in all seats. I installed the mounting plate under two legs (vs one as the instructions suggest) and pushed all seats as tight as I could. I purchased enough of the rubber isolators to fit under all the legs on the sectional. Man oh man is this thing powerful. You have to play with a bit to find the sweet spot, but I feel the movement from all four pieces of my sectional. Absolutely amazing! Watching King Kong is a thrill. As for the wireless kit, it works like a dream and not having to run wires everywhere was even better.

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.

The Buttkicker is worth buying.

I'm so picky about my audio experience that I spent months listening to systems all across Texas before I chose my stereo. I didn't know it wasn't complete until I tried the buttkicker. The kit comes with everything you need and is very high quality. The high and low pass filters work pretty well, my only complaint is I need to put a low frequency equalizer on it to even out the sounds. thats my only complaint. and I''m really really good at complaining. Buy one.

Great kit, easy to install, and adds a lot of fun to any action movie!
