Advice for individual home theater seats.
Individual home theater seats, even if clipped or nestled together can be powered with one ButtKicker Advance (model BK4-4) or two ButtKicker mini-Concerts wired together (model BK-mini-CT). This, one ButtKicker Advance or two ButtKicker mini-Concerts, is how we’ve equipped over 45,000+ movie theater recliner seats are the world.
The ButtKicker Power Amplifier (model BKA1000-P) can power up to eight ButtKicker individual seats.
Wiring diagrams and seat installation information can be found here.
Rubber isolators, either the larger RI-4 isolators or the smaller RI-K28 isolators are strongly recommended to be used instead of or under the feet of home theater seating for optimal performance.
It is not recommended to power a home theater seat with just one ButtKicker mini-LFE (model BK-mini-LFE) or one ButtKicker mini-Concert (BK-mini-CT).
Advice for couches and loveseats.
The ButtKicker Wireless Couch Kit (model BK-WCK) is designed to shake one three-seater couch, one love seat, or one or potentially two home theater seats if the backs legs of the two home theater seats are close enough to both fit on the ButtKicker Advance Mounting Kit plate which is approximately 8 ½ “wide. (Please note that some very heavy large couches, especially those that have hide-a-beds or heavy reclining seats at both ends may require two Wireless Kits. This is rare but can happen.)
The ButtKicker Wireless Couch Kit) comes with one BKA300-P amplifier, 300 watt @ 4 ohms with integrated wireless receive, wireless send unit, one ButtKicker Advance transducer (model BK4-4), one ButtKicker Advance Couch Mounting Plate (model BK4-CMAK) and five RI-4 rubber isolators. The BKA300-P amplifier is not sold separately and only one ButtKicker Advance transducer can be powered by the BKA300-P amplifier.
Up to four ButtKicker LFE (model BK-LFE) or eight ButtKicker Advance (model BK4-4) can be powered by one ButtKicker Power Amplifier (model BKA1000-P). The ButtKicker Couch Mounting Accessory Kit (model BK-CMAK for the BK-LFE and model BK4-CMAK for the ButtKicker Advance) allow the user easily use the BK-LFE or BK4-4 with most types of furniture without requiring the ButtKicker unit to be installed inside the furniture. The Couch Mounting Accessory Kits can be found here.
If desired, the easy to use low latency ButtKicker Link2 (model BK-Link2) can be used to wireless send audio signal from the signal source, such as an audio video receiver (AVR) to the ButtKicker Power Amplifier.
