These things do a good job shaking your seat. Not overwhelming, but very noticeable. I have an existing pair powered by my ayima a07

These gadgets are so freaking cool! I bought some similar, Sound Shaker brand, transducers and attached them to all four of my home theater seats and wow! I secured them firmly to the closest solid wood surface I could get near the seat cushions of each chair. I'm only running them at 60% power with the LPF set to under 50Hz.. Essentially letting my subs put out the sound and pressure and the seat transducers give us the "thump" from explosions, engine noise, lightning strikes etc. I have to say, these are excellent supplemental immersion alongside your subwoofers (I have 2x SVS PB2000s) or they would also certainly work great if you wanted serious bass but didn't wanna wake up people in your house or next door. Seriously, with mine humming along I can stand right next to my seats and I do not feel vibration at all. I've seen a lot of guys attach these to their gaming chairs as well.

I can't believe I had never tried these before in my home theater! The first night I had them installed, I actually DROVE a pod racer lol. Video games are also amazing, particularly flying around in space in Starfield with these and the surround sound going!
Can I also shake trout with this, or is it strictly for bass?
I had these in the past. They really do work well. I ran four with a Dayton 230W subwoofer plate amp with no issues. If you are not running through a MiniDSP or similar you will want to have an amplifier with an adjustable crossover built in. Otherwise if they go off above say 45 hz or so (your cutoff is up to preference) they get very distracting, as even some voices will shake your seat. My favored practice was to just split them off any subwoofer with a y splitter, up the gain, and adjust the crossover on the amp as opposed to using a sub channel from my receiver or minidsp.

I eventually replaced the four of them with three buttkicker Advances. In all honesty I would not trade them out if I could do it again. Both had plenty of power, but the buttkickers are far more expensive, less efficient, and the noise when a buttkicker bottoms out is just awful. I have them dialed in well now but these shakers just worked with no fuss.

Just wondering, how did some of the installs go for those who got on this deal?

I finally got my setup working. I kind of made a mess for myself though. I have a Samsung soundbar that I wanted to run at the same time, but the sub is wireless, so no wired output. I didn't want another full receiver so I pieced together a bunch of components from amazon. I can get it all into a small tote, and hide it away. But it took some digging to find everything I needed. I was hoping just a simple HDMI to RCA would work, but then the transducer was getting the full audio signal, and was just rumbling constantly regardless of the cutoff setting on the amp. I'm glad the 4k player has a separate HDMI out for audio only. I haven't tried pass- through on the soundbar for other sources yet though. If I had realized from the start I was going to spend around $200 on some butt rumble I probably wouldn't have done it. But it's pretty fun, so oh well.

I have the amp turned way down and it still bumps hard. I only have one transducer hooked up for now, but I am thinking about wiring in a second on a separate seat to help tone it down. I cut the bottom fabric of our sectional and mounted the transducer to one of the side panels.

[Panasonic UB420 4K Blu-Ray - HDMI Audio Out] to [HDMI Splitter], [HDMI Splitter 1] to [Samsung Soundbar], [HDMI Splitter 2] to [HDMI to Optical Converter] to [Optical to 5.1 RCA Converter Out - Subwoofer Channel] to [Single RCA to Stereo RCA Splitter] to [Mini Subwoofer Amp] to [Transducer].

Here are all the components.
