Feel the vibration
I bought this on a Wim thinking it can't make that much difference. I use it for flight sim and it adds a whole new level to the sim. I fly in VR and I bolted the buttkicker to my chair. You need to buy An amp to power it separately. (Go careful what you order if following amazon's suggestions here as the first amp I purchased didn't include the power supply to run the amp. I still have no idea why you would sell an amp that you then need to buy a power supply separately to make it work. BUT.. this is a review of thr buttkicker.Loaded the sim. Turned on the amp to power the buttkicker and tried it out on several planes. You feel the surface of the runway now. You get the thud of the wheels retracting. You feel the vibration of the engines and that changes depending on the throttle power and or propeller pitch.This is not a subwoofer. You don't hear the bass. The buttkicker provides vibration through the chair that simulates what's going on in the sim. I had to purchase a aux splitter so that the audio out on the pc went to the speakers and separately to the buttkicker.The only negative I have found so far since I started using it is that it now makes the joystick feel 'dead' resting your arm on the armrest when you operate the throttles makes you feel the engine vibrations. The joystick has no feedback.. and after adding the buttkicker you really notice the lack of feel...Unfortunately for my bank account. There are joysticks out there that will solve that... the buttkicker is worth it for the emersion you get in sim games.I'm not sure it would make such an impact in other types of game.

Great Buttkicker
The Buttkicker Mini LFE works great now that I have got the right amplifier for it. I originally got a Yamaha stereo amp but it didn't work. I now have a Dayton Audio SA100 subwoofer amplifier which is ideal.The Buttkicker is very powerful and gives a very immersive experience. It only operates at very low frequency so only operates for deep booms, explosions and phaser/ laser fire not just general bass which is what I wanted.My source is the 2nd subwoofer out port on my Pioneer VSX 1131 receiver connected to the low level input on the SA100. The Buttkicker is connected to the rear mono cables (with spade connectors) of the SA100
