I ordered the Buttkicker with no knowledge of what it would feel like, or if I would even like it. After installing it (very easy installation btw) I was impressed. Putting this thing under my couch made it feel like I was sitting on a very large, very powerful subwoofer. All the claims made about these things are true. The impact of these devices on a home theater system is stunning. If you're thinking about getting one, stop thinking and get it. You won't be disappointed.
Amazing product!

Reviewer: Richard Shuster,
I've been enjoying my ButtKicker for five months now. The build quality impressed me and the instructions for installation are easy to follow. I've used it with Blu-ray discs/DVDs, an Xbox, and a Wii. To say that it adds another dimension to one's home theater is an understatement. As a gamer, I was blown away. The vibrations are proportionate to what is happening in the game. For example, while playing a WWII shooter, grenades resonate more strongly than bullets, etc. Also, being able to in essence, feel the proximity of an enemy adds an amazing degree of realism. Surprisingly, games on the Wii in Pro Logic II were just as impressive as Xbox games in digital 5.1. Using the ButtKicker with movies feels like being at an IMAX. I was concerned I might be disturbing neighbors when I watched The Dark Knight for the first time using the ButtKicker as it was so intense. My neighbors in the apartments below me and those next door said they heard nothing. I haven't spent a great deal of time using the ButtKicker with music but as was the case with movies and games, it delivers. That said, there are a couple things to consider before purchasing. As stated on their website, the BKA300 can't be expanded. So know going in that this will work with only one couch or chair. Also, while there is a remote, there are no level displays on the unit's receiver or remote itself. This was initially frustrating as I like different levels of intensity depending on the audio source. However, any smart remote can be used to control the ButtKicker which overcomes this issue. As an audiophile trapped in the budgetary constraints of being a full-time graduate student, the ButtKicker was the perfect purchase. It provides me the bone rattling experience of a dedicated home theater system before practicality allows me to have one. Any home theater enthusiast that lives in an apartment, dorm, or who uses their living room as their theater room should take a serious look at this product.
A whole new "Feeling" to your Home Theater and Gaming Experience
 
Review Date: February 14, 2009
Reviewer: Jeffrey S. Williams, Modesto, CA
My second Buttkicker BKA300 arrived last night, my first kit had what appears to be a bad transducer. I called Guitammer tech support for the first unit and they rushed me out a brand new kit first thing on Monday this week. The Customer Service was Excellent.

I have to admit I am completely floored at the performance of this unit and although I had an issue with the first kit, it was definetely worth the wait. It took me about 15min to setup the RF link, Amplifier, and transducer and begin enjoying what the Buttkicker had to offer.

I started off with a Blu-Ray version of Pearl Harbor and jumped to the First Strike scene where the bombing of Pearl Harbor starts. I selected 5.1 uncompressed for the soundtrack. Truly amazing being able to "feel" every explosion, flying bullet, bomb, or torpedo. The anticipation of what would be felt next is awesome particularly the scenes of the torpedo hitting the side of the ship or the bomb that went through the deck of the Arizona. Its like "OH YEAH! Here is comes", just like that feeling before you go down the first hill on a roller coaster.

After playing with the movie I moved on to a couple of games and see how they perform. Keep in mind that the Buttkicker uses the LFE or Subwoofer out on your receiver so it will only reproduce low frequency effects.

1. GT5P: No response from the BK when hitting the walls or another car, I guess this is OK since this would be considered bad driving. However while driving if you hit the red/white curbs (rumble strips) you definetely feel those. Depending on your speed affects the frequency and feeling that is felt. I also learned (felt) that not all the red/white rumble strips are raised, some are completely flat. I did not try a cockpit view or adjust the sound volumes in the game to see how the BK responds, curious how it feels in cockpit view.

2. MC:LA Not much response from anything other than Nitro Boost or hitting a gas pump at the 7 eleven! Like GT5P I did not try any other view or adjust the sound settings. However due the soundtrack in MC:LA it feels like having to 15" subwoofers in the trunk while cruising the streets of LA.

3. COD4: It looks like FPS games will be a riot, I went to ACT1 and did the "Death From Above" level. The 25mm, 40mm, and 105mm cannons are "WOW" and I dont mean world at war (which I will try next)! You can feel the actual shot when you pull the trigger and the explosion when it hits the ground from the C-130. I did not try adjusting any sound settings in the game and I did not try FPS yet. I think the bullets whizzing by will be spectacular, since I "felt" this in the Pearl Harbor movie.

If you are seriously considering one of these units, YOU will not be disappointed it adds feeling to both movies and gaming. I only played with the BKA300 for about 1.5hrs and did not move it to my couch. This unit is definetely more than enough for any game chair. The amplifier has a remote with preset EQ settings for movies, music, and games. You can also increase or decrease the intensity, I left it on either game or movie as that was enough already.

***Update*** After a couple of months enjoying the Buttkicker I have to say I have enjoyed the unit very much. In my first review I noted that there was not much response while playing some games particularly Driving games. I found that my Onkyo 805 receiver has additional adjustments for both the Subwoofer channel and another for the LFE output in the internal EQ of the Onkyo amp. Because I use the Audyssey (Calibration Mic) with my Onkyo my Subwoofer was set to -5.5db which is perfect when watching Blu-Ray movies. When Playing PS3 games on the other hand I found by increasing the gain on the subwoofer channel to +3.0db or greater then the response from the Buttkicker transducer is a HUGE improvement. I have found that while playing GT5P with the new settings that wall impacts, rumble strips, car impacts, and road/wind noise have become much more noticable so much more that I can feel the vibration in the wheel and shifter of my G25. I would also like to note that I find the Game EQ preset (-6db) on the Buttkicker remote for adjusting the transducer amp is the best while watching in Blu-ray movie with Lossless Codecs (DTS-MA or Dolby True HD). I start out on this preset setting and increase the intensity with the remote manually until I find the best response from the BK transducer. By doing this it prevents the Transducer from bottoming out or vibrating. I have to admit that I am spoiled by the Buttkicker because it takes away from the movie experience when going to the local theater. A idle chair now is just plain boring.
Excellent Upgrade For The Home Theatre or Gaming Enthusiast
 
Review Date: March 14, 2009
Reviewer: Rico,
First, I'm not a big time home audio enthusiast. Yes, I have a nice big screen TV, a decent surround sound system, and a PS3. However, I don't consider myself an expert or advanced user. With that in mind, I wasn't entirely sure what to expect from the ButtKicker Kit. It all sounds innocent enough, plug in a few modules to your system and enjoy your movies and games more. I was not expecting much, but I was very much (and pleasantly) surprised by the difference that the ButtKicker makes. I guess it's hard to imagine how it changes the experience until you've actually experienced it yourself. It really does bring the movie or game into your sitting area, and thus your body. You honestly really do feel more immersed in the game or movie. So, since it is so hard to explain how ButtKicker feels or changes your experience, I will instead focus on the prime audience for the product.

If you rarely use your surround sound system, and could care less about terms like Dolby Digital 5.1, then I doubt you will be able to appreciate this product. However, if you enjoy watching movies or playing games and actually "hearing" the sounds as they were meant to be heard, then you are going to fall in love with the ButtKicker product.

The unit is well built, and I was glad to see the metal components, not some cheap plastic. You will feel like you got your money's worth with the product. The system comes with high quality speaker cables, and the setup is easy enough, although at first it may seem daunting until you realize exactly how it works. For this one folks, be sure and read the instruction booklet that is included at the top of the box! It will save you time. The unit is packaged well, with everything fitting the box perfectly, so there should be little danger of getting a unit that has broken during shipping.

Bottom Line: If you love movies and games, you are going to love them even more after you install the ButtKicker!
I really have to admit, I got buttkicked.
 
Review Date: March 19, 2009
Reviewer: Timothy Lovett, Boston, MA USA
What can I say about the buttkicker? It seriously kicks my butt. The buttkicker sends a targeted amount of bass through whatever you attach it to which definitely sets apart an experience.

I had the buttkicker attached while playing Lego Star Wars on my XBox and remember bouncing around to the tune of Starwars. I feel as though I'm a bit unqualified to completely review this given I don't really have that powerful a speaker setup but even with my weak system the buttkicker amplified my experience considerably.

In the package you receive everything you need to setup your system: an amplifier, a wireless transmitter, a wireless receiver, the mounting kit, and the buttkicker itself. It doesn't take long to setup and comes with the only tool you need to set it up (unless you're physically mounting it).

The sound seems like it'll travel (and I'm sure my neighbors below me thank me for using the buttkicker sparingly) but the mounting system to set it up definitely reduces the amount of bass escaping through the floor.

I can't say I dislike the buttkicker... it feels weird at first actually feeling a show or game but hey, you're getting your butt kicked, what do you expect?

Coffee Maker And Grinder

January 30th, 2010

I love to write about a variety of interesting topics. I do not have a favorite topic in mind, but I really enjoy writing about almost anything right now. At this time I am starting an online business. I have been known to write about credit cards, insurance, Spanish, English, Chinese, Japanese, French, Italian, German and other languages. I speak several different languages and currently I’m going to school to acquire a bachelors degree.

When I’m done with school. I will continue to do SEO work and write articles. I enjoy, writing articles, because I’m able to learn more about the topics that I’m not very familiar with. Of course, I have to learn about the topics first and I do much of my research on the internet. I am then able to write about what I have learned on that topic. For example, if I am learning or if I am going to write an article about a topic, I first go online and I research that topic. Sometimes it only takes me a few minutes when I am somewhat familiar with the topic already. It depends to a great exent, on how familiar I am with the topic. Sometimes it might take me an hour or more to learn about the topic. Either way, I am continuing my education.

I look at all kinds of sites. I like to look at sites like yahoo answers, Google News, Yahoo news, CNN, Fox news, press releases and other reference materials. Anyway, after I have researched the topic well and that I can write something from off the top of my head. To give you an example this time I will write about Coffee Maker And Grinder. Then, I write this is down in front of my computer and I begin typing. I’d like to type out then run through it once again to make sure it flows nicely and check for grammatical errors. In the article I will be sure to include useful information to readers, about Coffee Maker And Grinder . After that I’m done.

I then set the article aside and maybe wait a few hours, sometimes the day and I’ll get back to it later with fresh eyes and a good night’s sleep, and I’ll see the article, and again review it for any errors or any changes needed. I like to see if it might sound better if it were put in other words, sometimes more precise and condensed. Then I’m ready to publish what I wrote, so I find the place where I want to publish it, and I submit the article. The article is then reviewed. It is usually accepted and I can go on in the next topic of choice. After the readers have the information, informing them, then they can make a smart choice.

DS-Series Coaxial Speakers provide the cost-effective ammo to keep up with your bass upgrade. Click to enlarge.

DS Speakers are the best value for serious, drop-in upgrades in your doors. The woofers bear a polypropylene cone, UV-treated ribbed surround, enduring voice coil, and an interior-pleasing fresh look. The half-inch tweeters take the performance cues of higher-end coaxials, using a super-strong neodymium magnet and PEI (polyether imide) dome for louder, better-sounding highs.

The DS Series comes in eight different sizes, including the new DS650 with 6.5-inch midrange drivers. DS Coaxials fit any speaker cutout, starting from the 3.5-inch DS350 up to a handy 6 x 8 DS680 if your ride requires them. The 6 x 9 offering is actually the thrashin' DS6930 3-way system which mixes in an additional 2-inch mid.

DS650 Features

A breeze to install. Click to enlarge.

Polypropylene cone with UV-treated ribbed surround.

CIMP (Curvilinear Injection-Molded Polypropylene Woofer Cones)
A high performance composite, which remains rigid, minimizes cone flex and lowers harmonic distortion. The CIMP consists of a one-piece, injection-molded polypropylene material that moves as a piston, exhibiting power and control.

Enhanced BAM (Basket and Motor) Assembly
Utilizes a high strength steel basket, features a low-profile open design, and provides a solid foundation for the precision-aligned motor assembly.

Optimized Polyfoam Ribbed Surround Radius
This allows extended cone excursion for additional bass output and higher SPL, and couples the suspension into a conjoined linear-motion body.

High-Temp Polyimide Film Voice Coil Former
improves sonic and conductive properties, and prevents thermal-electrical meltdown.

PEN Dome Tweeter with Neodymium Magnet
Provides a smooth high frequency response with quick, detailed and spatially-correct imaging. PEN is an acronym for the space age material "biaxially oriented polypropylene naphthalate film"--your parents' tax dollars probably paid for its development, you might as well enjoy it.

High-Power Tinsel Lead Wires
These eliminate broken leads and power loss, due to the common use of "insufficient-gauge" lead wires.

Ferro-Fluid
Cooled tweeter voice-coil extends the high frequency transducer's life span.

Thriving Fundraising Ideas

January 29th, 2010

Fundraising for your group can be a challenging and rewarding experience. When your nonprofit group needs a little bit of help funding that special trip, adding a new part to a building, or raising money for research, you can find ways to help raise the money quickly. At first it can seem challenging, but you’ll find many people are very generous and willing to help.

There are thousands of fundraising ideas to help raise money for your group. Many companies now offer fundraising specials which will help your group make money. This article has a list of capital ideas that have been successful with many groups when it came to fundraising.

Leaving donation boxes in local stores is a tried and tested fundraising method.

This is probably one of the more popular ideas. Increasingly more stores are open towards the idea of letting you leave a donation box for people to put their spare change in. It can add up to quite a bit of money. Get your group to decorate quite a few boxes. Get your group , or the person in charge of fundraising, to speak with managers at individual stores in your community and ask them if you could leave boxes there.

Another method to do this is putting up a candy box. People will pay a quarter or so for a mint they can take out. These especially work well at local eateries. This way you’re giving a small reward for people who donate.

Candy sales or t-shirt sales can also be very successful.

This might cost a little bit of money up front, but it can certainly be worth it. This is especially useful if you have a group focused around kids or teenagers. Companies will sell you products at a significant discount, and in turn you get to resell the , either door to door or as you need. The profits you get to keep.

To keep the initial cost down, you could locate businesses that may send catalogs rather than the actual product. People order from the catalogs up front, and then products are sent out after the order. Do a bit of research to find a company that has quality products.

You can recruit a team to do door to door donations from businesses in your community.

Ask to speak with a representative from the business about donating to your cause. Businesses might be very generous.

You possibly can offer to give away awards or prizes to those that donate to your cause.

This is really a great way to make a lot of money quickly for any group, without spending a whole lot on products. Hold a money or prize , with several levels of prizes. Request $ 1 or more per entry. A system could be created to make it simple, and you get the name and number of people who have entered.

At the end of the drawing date, pull names and numbers as needed to hand out the prizes. The rest of the money can go to your group. Make certain you follow local regulations when you are holding a drawing.

Consider dog walking, car washing and other services.

If your group is able to, why not offer a friendly service? Local teenagers and college groups are often open towards the idea of helping out.

Car washing and dog walking are popular. Other services could include babysitting, errand running, or even cleaning. Make it simple, and you can run it one day, one weekend or for however long you need to.

Create coupons for local businesses in your community.

Design a coupon book which will be sold to locals. You can create the coupon books inexpensively, and ask local businesses if they would like to make available their discounts.

The book needs to be worth the $ 10 or $ 20 or whatever amount you are offering to save for people. It’s also important to get many different local businesses involved as well. Popular places are local eateries or entertainment places like movie theaters.

Local businesses drum up more business this way. Your group will get more money. People buying the coupon books will get discounts off of many local businesses. This is one fundraising idea that benefits everyone.

Which one is right for your group? It might be one, or two, or multiple selections from this list. The important thing is to get the word out about your fundraising efforts. True, it does sometime take money to raise money, but in some cases the money you put out can be minimal when compared with what you receive for your group.

About This Article: www.funpastafundraising.com will help your group or organization raise funds with one of the most unique and productive fundraising products available online. Pasta!

The normal Kitchen Tools For your kitchen.

January 28th, 2010

The most necessary kitchen equipment could be the multi-purpose regular can opener. There’s merely no other way to open most canned foods, plus a separate bottle opener or church key is often one of several first kitchen tools to be completely removed in an disaster. A quality regular can opener lasts for years with small protection and allow homeowners to open cans when there isn’t any household power available. A multi-purpose manual can opner is one of the most essential pantry tools for all stages of adult living . Knives are usually significant kitchen tool. Since they facilitate both food processing and service.

A set of steak knives is important for slicing through meats and other fibrous foods. A quality chef’s knife is versatile enough for cutting up veggies.

Carving meats, and also rough peeling knives are good. Other significant knives to own are paring knives for processing fruit and veggies. Filet knives for preparing meat and fish servings, and a butcher’s knife for breaking down sizeable meats. For raw food preparation, peelers and graters are also vital kitchen tools. A vegetable peeler will make short work of peeling carrots, potatoes, cucumbers, and other raw vegetables with skins or peels.

Maybe foodstuff such as hard cheeses and whole spices ought to be grated, so a grater with several different blades is likewise an important kitchen tool. Many beginning cooks start out which includes a four-sided grater showcasing a coarse grater, fine grater and cheese slicer on the exterior walls. Usually, food planning requires a little more horsepower, so blenders and food processors are usually essential kitchen tools.

A food processor with a number of different conventional parts can operate quite a few services with the cook. Ingredients may be blended together inside a puree or merely blended for a salad. Dough may also be needed from a food processor, or prepared in another essential kitchen tool- a standing mixer.

For your blending or mixing tasks you need an electric blender with variable speeds. This equipment is also a vital tool for your cooking area. Other necessary cooking area tools involve the measurement of additive. No kitchen must be without testing spoons, measuring cups, or a kind of kitchen scale. Recipes hinge on the cook’s ability to gauge proper portion sizes, so an entire set of measuring equipment with readable gradations may be a wise investment. You should definitely get both wet and dry measuring tools, Given that you can find a difference between a cup of water and a cup of flour. At last, another set of kitchen tools all kitchens must have are spatulas, spoons, and ladles.

All food need to eventually be served, so it is important to get the proper tools to spread the meals safely from pan to plate. Serving spoons can have a solid bowl, including the wooden spoons used for stirring sauces, or they will be slotted for serving ingredients held in boiling water or both. Ladies are also important for serving soups, stews, and other dishes with both liquid and solid ingredients. A spatula is also a necessary instrument both for food preparation and for offering foods from a hotplate or grill.

Top 3 Tips for Preparing for the Future Release of 3D Television

January 28th, 2010

CNN recently released a news story that informed the public that by the year 2010, 3D television should be not just in the theaters but in homes across the nation as well. Two popular television brands recently provided a demonstration of the televisions that they have designed to broadcast television in 3D. The companies were Sony as well as Panasonic.
