Buttkicker Silent Subwoofer

[Spooled]

Anyone have one of these?

I just sat in the inventor's Scion xB with one installed. Although I'm very into music, I'm not usually a "car audio guy", but damn this thing is cool. Very very clean bass without rattling anything. Basically it uses the car's chassis to transmit the LFE to you. It felt like there was a 10" sub directly under my seat, and it was just the stock Scion stereo (updated head unit, though) and one of the Silent Subwoofers in the middle of the hump on the floor in the back seat. It was like the size of a softball. He sais that it was being driven by a 500W amp and the Buttkicker is only 2 ohms.

Anyway, I thought it was pretty cool and you guys might be interested.

AKA, bass-shakers. I've never listened to a system with one but I gaurantee it is nothing like having a 4-pack of 15"s in the back of your SUV.

These kind of go in teh opposite direction of most audiophile car installations. People spend big bucks dampening door panels, head liners, and floor panels to eliminate outdoor noise and contain the sound waves created by the speakers. This kind of sound dampening would hinder the performance of a bass shaker.

they have the Aura bass shakers really cheap, thought it might be fun to toss them in an old chair or something to have a home version of those little gaming chairs, or a whole couch. for $30 worth a shot, in a car I'm thinking it might get annoying but I don't know
