I have two per seat in my cinema

I have two per seat in my cinema 400w each. DO NOT turn them off, they easily overheat if left on long enough. After that, they turn off for a few minutes to cool down. The Behringer NX3000 is perfect for four of them. One of the best and most affordable additions to any serious theater or living room!

Pros
  • price
Cons
  • weight

Hot, Loud, Back

I ran it through a cheap amp and it still got so hot it shut down. I've only used it to create engine sounds on my race car. I also turned down the volume because the plunger knocks when pressed and makes a loud noise. I went back and replaced it with a Dayton Audio BST-1 which is twice as good and half the price.

Pros
  • Niche Best
Cons
  • Useless Features

Such a benefit for Sim Racing

Added 4 of these (one for each corner) to my racing simulator and it's a real game changer. Not only can you feel the bumps in the road along with the rumble of alligators, but you can also sense when your tires are about to burst, allowing you to easily determine the limits of the car's capabilities. I also had a 1000w amp to run them all and it works flawlessly despite the hours I put into simracing.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Only available in white

Upgraded my racing chair to a racing simulator!

ButtKicker Mini LFE Subwoofer/Converter adds realism to my racing set. Especially when the race ramps up and Gran Turismo spoils me with the engine noise of my VGT Bugatti. I have it with Nobsound 100W Digital Subwoofer Power Amplifier Audio Mini Amplifier (Subwoofer) ASIN B072KDNW3F and Nobsound DC 19V 3.42A Power Adapter Universal Power Supply Charger Input 100-240V 50/ 60Hz ASIN B074J81XRB connected for best results. I ran a headphone cable from the TV's audio output to the Nobsound inputโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • No instructions

Incredible immersion in movies and games.

I hooked this up to a Behringer iNuke NU1000 DSP amp and I can tell you the thing works! I got these two devices to replace my ButtKicker Gamer2 and while they are expensive they are worth it. My film experience went from "great experience" to "I feel like I'm in an IMAX theater". The sheer power this converter is capable of is incredible! The films I tested were Transformers (2007) and Cloverfield. The movies aren't great, but they have unrivaled sound design and are perfect for testing BASSโ€ฆ

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • I won't say anything

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

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
