OC Mod Shop reviews this tiny device that gives some powerful bass without speakers.

View: ButtKicker Promises to Shake your Money Maker

The ButtKicker is a small, linear motor, which reacts to an audio signal sent by an amplifier. It is similar to a loudspeaker, but instead of moving a cone, and transferring sound waves through the air, it attaches to seats and floors, and sends low frequency sound directly into the listener’s body. The effect is amazing.

23 Feb 2006 ~ 7:45pm If this thing is really as effective as the reviewer says, i might be interested... and for $100-$120 thats really not a bank-breaker

24 Feb 2006 ~ 5:30pm dont buy that, get these things from parts express called bass shakes. exact same idea, just a smaller form factor, and the first ones to come out, not to mention they are cheaper, they are good for like feedback, and feeling impacts, for movies/games, but ive had multiple reviews saying that they are abslutely useless for music.

i thought about getting one or two and wiring up under my bed for when i watch movies.
