I have installed 2 bass shakers in my living room & 3 in my HT, all of them placed in recliners with plate amps 120w powering them. They sound(feel ) great!! I read where 120 watts wasnt enough to power them WRONG!!! With a little tweeking they are a great addition to your movie watching. I turned the x over on the amp to 40 and volume at 9 oclock. For about 300.00 for every thing its a bargain give it a try! thanks ps I purchased all of it at Partsexpress
My HT set-up Panasonic front proj, 120 in ws screen, ATI amp,Integra 9.8 pre-pro, 2 Polk rti150, cp 1000, 4 fx 1000, Pioneer blu-ray 2 SVS sub pb 12-ultra 2, & Paragon popcorn popper. ps 3 Coaster leather HT recliners.

    I have tried a few including the PE cheap ones, Clark Synthesis and Butt Kickers. They all deliver something. My favorite is the Clark. It is truely full range and you can tell. Obviously you still cut it off like a sub if you use it as a sub.

    You can't tell the difference between the Clark Synthesis and a really good sub other than the sub adds a lot more noise. At one point I had 4 of them mounted to the main beam under my living room and fed them with a 1000 watt carver. Absolutely awesome. I could rock at 3AM with what seemed to be massive subwoofers. Walk out of the room and it ALL went away! The key is that none of your senses can detect what is going on if everything you touch is energized the same. (Because of mounting them to the main beam). I could go on forever about them. They match the Polk SDA's and I would guess any other loudspeaker because even though you can't really tell, they are moving you and the house directly rather than having to move so much air to make the same sensation.

    I bought the bass shakers because I missed the floor shaking, my ht has a concrete floor, cant get it to vibrate! You have a whole lot of shaking going on with your set up!!
