Wiring multiple Buttkickers

[septim]

Hey everyone I just received a Buttkicker LFE system with an extra LFE shaker. The amp says it can handle 4 LFES but it will provide the best results with 2 in parallel at 2 ohms and 2100 watts. I'm somewhat confused on how to wire these things. Am I supposed to split speaker wire somehow?

It's not difficult. Here is a diagram that show's all configurations.http://www.av-outlet.com/images/buttkicker/bk_wiring.pdf

I split the sub output from my receiver and fed it into a separate 100W mono amp just for the kickers.
AudioSource makes some decent and very reasonably priced amps.

Thanks for that. I'm still wondering how to split the speaker wire though. I found a buttkicker manual online that says to use wire nuts when running two LFEs. So basically I just have to get some wire nuts to split the wire?

Just run one wire for each channel. I use 12 guage copper lamp cord that I get at Lowe's. Just run to the first buttkicker and then run another wire to the second. Do that for each channel like in the diagram and your all set.

Oh ****, I forgot your useing the wire that came with it. Just run that wire to the first buttkicker red to red and black to black and then take another speaker wire like I mentioned and run red to red and black to black from the first buttkicker to the second. You dont need wire nuts just twist the wires together and connect them to the buttkicker then tighten them down and you good to go.
