Default Buttkicker BKA 300 review.

The short of it, get them for HT movies!
A $299 Buttkicker= box of forgettable, Cigars = burnt leaves.

Review here: Home theater secrets Buttkicker BKA 300 wireless

Ivan and I, disagree on this one.

1 day ago, they felt like a gimmick product.
They clunked, and chugged, at the wrong moments. In fact I have an uptight email (I am known for..) floating/speeding, to sellers now, that I would like to get back before Monday's opening.

Now that I have them dialed in (Low is key) and they add to the F113's experience where it feels seamless yet very powerfull! A combo, full body assult, with full room sound pressure (F113's) and tactical body assult

The number one key is, DO NOT TELL ON YOURSELF, with guests and viewers. They were stunned in todays viewings.
Keep the secret, and MR Ivan should push more JL subs out the front door.
As everyone has thought, it was the subs alone.


Plus, those of us without a sound proof shelter, like Mr Ivan, need them for, late night viewing, to make up, for a lower sub level.

Great customer service, and if you do not like them, send them back for a refund.
But, try them for a week of tweeking, and drop me a pm, if you need help on the set up.

The Buttkicker is as much of a toy product, as the PS3. Which is equal to the top mag reviews on BluRay brands, near the price point. I know this, because I own and tested them, then demoted the so called best players to my plasma rooms.

Now if they die in a month, I will have to repost!
I am ordering more tomorrow.

That's like playing a recording of a Ferrari engine in your Firebird...

I'm glad you are happy, that is all that matters!

Not to me!
Its like owning both. Everyone needs a grocery getter, for the daily beat up car.

Lots of sub owners out there, who hear, 'turn it down" at night.
Now you can turn it down, and still feel the high sub level output without pressurizing the room/house at 2 am.

The remote is nice (cheap), as you can turn it off, and on, to see the difference, during low HZ scenes, at moderate dB's.

No contest. HT (explosions,bullets ect.)= "On"
Music= "OFF!"

Not sure if you own (a) or (many) Fathoms for HT, but its a lot more then ears.
Your socks go up and down, in low (Hz) scenes in HT.

Either way,
Thanks just the same.
