Looks like it attaches to different parts of your seat and any framing. With vibrations it will simulate sounds and vibrational disturbances

Very simply, it attaches to your chair or couch, to give you low end vibrations, sound, etc. It equates to putting sub woofer speakers in your couch for the total surround sound experience.

This hardware appears to be designed to separate $200 from your wallet!

I have a buttkicker under my chair that I bought for around 60 bucks a few years ago, and I love it. Throttle up. it increases in vibration. Landing and application of reverse thrust is awesome. Even "feel" the tires thump over the cracks in the taxiways. Never fly without it. smile

Clarke, I`m still think about getting one. I`ll be kept in one addons a must. Thanks for let me know. Can you show me a video or photo how do you have installed? Thanks again.

Thiago, I mounted mine on the bottom of a four legged office chair using a 3/4 inch pipe flange with a 3/4 inch X 4 inch pipe nipple. I clamped the buttkicker to it. The instructions that come with kit are simple and easy to follow. I recommend that you check Amazon.com and Ebay for a better price.

Take care, Clarke smile
