Questions & Answers

The latest version of the mini LFEs include features that are a part of the Simvibe edition, are they?

In my shop, I only have the authority to speak for ourselves. In comparison, the stock we have is the latest version of In miniaturized form Language for everyone.

Can you tell me what type of cables this is hooked up with? How different is it from any other speaker if it only has simple speaker wires?

You should use speaker wire. Think of the Buttkickers similar to a Their vibratory pattern synchronizes to the subwoofer channel, adding to the power of In addition to the amp, a Buttkicker will also require power. It is usually necessary to buy a separate amplifier.

Connecting it to a surround sound system is how I hook it up. Do you have just one ?

To hear your music clearly, you'll need an amplifier. There is the option to buy an official ButtKicker brand or a third-party

To mount this on an office chair, I need to use a clamp. Is there a way to calculate how many transducers I'll Would you prefer number 1 or number ?

The chair has to be mounted only one way if you are just mounting it to it.

Sim Racing comes with such an advantage
5/5

I added four of these (one on each corner) to my Racing Simulator and it has been a While you may be able to feel the imperfections in the road, you can also feel when your tires are about to let go, which makes it easy to get an idea of where the car is at its limit. For the entire system I went with a 1000w amp, and it works perfectly even when I put a great deal of time into Sim Racing.

Whether playing games or watching movies, the immersive experience is unmatched
5/5

it with a Behringer iNuke NU1000 DSP amplifier, and I tell you, this thing really delivers! The two devices were purchased to replace the ButtKicker Gamer2, and while expensive, they were well I have gone from being a great moviegoer to feeling as if I am in an IMAX theater since watching movies. It is incredible the amount of power this transducer can deliver! Transformers (2007) and Clover Field were the movies I tested. of these movies is that good, but they have great soundtracks and are a great way to find out if BASS works. Playing a lot of games is also very important to me, my favorite being the Battlefield franchise. First game I had the transducer in was the Battlefield 1 remake. During the single-player tank missions, it felt like I was sitting in a real tank (granted, I turned the power up). The rumble of the engine, the shake from uneven terrain, the impact of each enemy shell that hit the side of our tank, and the shock of each shell we fired back all felt as though they were waves going through me my face was a smile the whole time. You should consider getting this device if you are a gamer trying to dive deeper into the experience, or a movie watcher trying to enjoy a powerful movie.

Despite their good performance, they overheat too easily when driven at power levels near rated Two of these are fine for me (I have two)
3/5

However, if you need the larger ones, get them. Having these things properly driven too soon causes them to overheat. They don't generate any force at all when driven at lower power levels.

Now I have a racing simulator instead of a racing seat! In my racing setup, the ButtKicker LFE mini subwoofer / transducer adds a very realistic feeling
5/5

Particularly when Gran Turismo is playing engine noises from my Bugatti VGT while the race is loading. The amplifier and speaker are paired with a Nobsound 100W Subwoofer Digital Power Amplifier Audio Mini Amp (Subwoofer) ASIN B072KDNW3F and a The 42A power adapter is universal and meets 100-240V input requirements A voltage of 240V 60Hz should be used with ASIN B074J81XRB to maximize Headphones are connected to my Nobsound input via a cable that I ran from my TV audio. Although the ButtKicker mini LFE can handle more power, I do not want to disturb my neighbor down the hall.

I am underwhelmed
3/5

Added an update. Then, three others (Dayton, Aura, and Visiton) gave out on me, so I finally gave up and bought this mini bass shaker. Those shakers are all incredible (until they stop working and the thing starts clunking, which can take anywhere from a few weeks to a month). Further, the LFE overheats within a very short period of time, and it will shut off on its own

But, so far, it's held up well and has been dependable, and that's something that the others may not be able to match.

WAIT! It is connected to a Nob Sound Mini Sub Amp that has an output of approximately 100 watts. It could be underpowered (the machine is rated up to 400 watts), so any problems I'm experiencing may be caused by that. UPDATE!

Instead of the Nob Sound mini amp, I replaced it with this XH-A Mini Amp Board A M253 TDA8954TH BTL HiFi Class 420W High Power Mono Digital Amplifier (Keep in mind that this amp board is NOT plug and play, and requires a separate preamp for volume control and a unique AC transformer for power. Make sure you do your homework! Based on the output of the transformer at 24 volts, I estimate a power output of It is not only a better sound without the constant clipping, it is also clear that all problems associated with overheating have been resolved! As a result, if you lack the sophistication or the desire to open up a shaker and fabricate new spiders, this is the best alternative you'll find. Alternatively, get the butt kicker in full size and then you won't have to worry about the.

For my theater, I have two seats per row
5/5

In my theater, I have two panels equipped with 400 watts of electricity You should not underpower them when clipping, as they will get very hot if too long. In order to cool, they were shut off for a few minutes. It would be ideal to use four of these Behringer NX3000s. It is truly one of the best, most affordable additions to any serious theater room or living room!.

It was disappointing
3/5

For my gaming rig, I bought one of those and hooked it up to a 100 watt, 4 ohm amp with a low-pass When I first saw it, I immediately assumed it was dead the rating is 50-60 I thought it would run at 250 watts, but at 100 watts it just got really hot, so I'm upset. The last dud I got didn't work out for me, so I am not looking forward to.

Heats up, is noisy, and has been When I ran this with a cheap amp, it still got to a point where it shut off
3/5

The only purpose for which I used it was to simulate engine rumble when racing in a virtual environment. As well, I had the volume turned down, because when I push it, I hear a loud bang. I returned the item, and it was replaced with a Dayton Audio BST-35. You can get one for half the price and twice the quality.
