Review on ๐ŸŽฌ Enhanced Home Theater Experience with the Mini LFE Subwoofer by ButtKicker by Matt Williams

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Overwhelmed. Updated

After being rejected by 3 other bass shakers (Dayton, Aura and Visiton) I finally broke down and bought this mini LFE. All of the above shakers take this thing down (until they fail and start rattling, which can take anywhere from a month to a week). In addition, the LFE overheats very quickly and turns off after 15-20 minutes. But so far it's been solid and reliable, something other shakers just can't deliver. WARNING! I hook it up to a Nob Sound mini sub amp that's about 100 watts. So all the problems I'm having could be due to not enough power (power up to 400w). TO UPDATE! I replaced the Nob Sound Mini Amplifier Board with this XH-M253 TDA8954TH BTL HiFi Class 420W High Power Mono Digital Amplifier Mini Amplifier Board (note that this amplifier board is NOT plug and play and uses a unique AC transformer as power supply and separate preamp needed for volume control Working with a 24v center tapped transformer I estimate it puts out around 200w Not only did the sound get better with no constant clipping but any overheating issues were GONE!You don't have the sophistication or desire to making a bass open shaker and interchangeable spiders it makes sense.Or just spend the money and get a full sized ass.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
