Butt Kicker Gamer Bass Shaker

I'm thinking about buying one of these for AH and my 360. does anyone have any experience with it? It sounds simple enough, but I'm not sure exactly how it works, or if it's worth it.

I have no experience with this brand, but have installed many bass shakers in cars and theaters. They work very well for local bass reproduction, without shaking the pictures off the walls.
They are perfect if you:
Don't have a sub in your system.
Play the game with headphones and want some local bass.
Want a very inexpensive sub that lasts a long time.
Have an extra $99 and just want your donut to shake.

The ones I have installed before(all in or under chairs) have lasted forever and I never received any complaints. <S>

Back in AW my room mate and I hooked up 4 full size floor speakers to a high end amp and ran the sound card output through the amp. When my roomate fired up his poni's engine the windows started ratteling. When he opened fire on the first con our neighbor called in a gun fight to the local police. We could never set the volume above 1/16 on the amp after that. But the police who showed up to talk to us had a sense of humor. They wanted to here the 6 - .50cals once to prove it was the sound system.........

I've got one, use it sometimes on my computer when I'm playing Tabula Rasa but rarely for AH.  I'd rather use my sub woofer for AH since it makes the walls in my apartment shake and pisses off the twit next door.  I also hook it up to my couch in the living room for movies, especially action movies.  IMO, that's the best use for it.

It's really easy to make a relatively inexpensive rumble chair.  Just get a bucket seat, build a wooden box stand for it, put a sub woofer in the stand and connect it to your PC and you've got a home made rumble seat.

The thing was over kill. We had the windows rattiling, the floor shaking and my roomates computer chair did the watusi up the spine. The four sterio bases had to be run so low it wasen't worth the trouble, we were making the neighbors china rattle in her kitchen with the system up full. We had two pairs of high end audiophyle floor units hooked to the amp in a tiny apartment. We made the toilet seat give you a qwicky when you pulled the trigger.....

I have one, but don't use it often with AH2.  It is interesting, especially when flying in ack or taking cannon hits.  Firing the 8 .50s in a jug is a religious experience.  It is not interesting when your spine melts due to raising the gear in a Typhie, or when members of your squad have a combo of a deep voice and a crappy mic and cause you to bounce out of the chair every time they speak.  I could tune the response range and "volume" to mitigate, but it would also dampen the desirable effects.

It is mostly used for FSX now.  It works very well there.  Helps add to the sense of immersion.
