Buttkickers: Added Value or Distraction?

PolkThug

Anybody have any experience with these? Do they get you more into the movie, or are they more of a gimmick that seems cool at first, but then becomes fatiguing?

Thanks,

LIMITED time with 4 bass shakers, limited because as you said/asked, seemed cool at first but kind of got annoying. The ladies loved it, lol.

the buttkickers are a better quality and may be better.

Mine were installed on the couch frame, I bet if they where installed to a platform or floor joist it would be better.

Madmax had some of the Clark system units and loved them.

Thanks for the reply, that's kind of what I thought. My friend is thinking of getting the Aura bass shankers, but he hasn't got to try them out anywhere.

I bought 4. Currently they sit all wrapped up ready to get shipped back. Never did install them as my base is so good now I didn't really see a need for them let alone the added cost of another amp.

I bought them on a whim due to a good sale price but just don't see the need and the fear they may be more distracting then not.

I just purchased 4 aura bass shaker pros and a 250 watt plate amp from parts express. Mounted them to my couches and added some 1x4 support and they are decient. I only use them on movies and i think they are pretty cool. originally i had a psw 350 and they assisted it but when i purchased my svs pci 20-39 they aren't as noticible but for 250 bucks its cool to see the reactions on peoples face when they feel them.

At the Bose setup at Epcot, they have atleast 50 bass shakers between 4 benches to cover up the fact their sub SUCKS big ones....

I didnt like it at all... was very annoying
