INSTRUCTIONS FOR WIRED SETUP (FIGURE 4)
1. CONNECT TO YOUR A/V PROCESSOR
1) Connect the supplied RCA Ycable into the SUBWOOFER or PRE out of your A/V processor. This will allow you to use
both a subwoofer and the ButtKicker system with your A/V processor.
2) Connect the RCA cable for your subwoofer (if applicable) to one side of the RCA Ycable. Using a male to male RCA
cable (not included); connect to the other side of the RCA Y. Connect this male to male RCA cable to the INPUT on your
BKA-130-C power amplifier.
a) If you have more than 1 BKA-130-C power amplifier you will need to connect them together so that
each unit receives signal. Using the supplied 3’ male to male RCA cable, connect one end into
the OUTPUT of the BKA-130-C power amplifier connected to your A/V processor. Connect the other end
into the INPUT of your next BKA-130-C power amplifier.
b) Repeat step a) to connect your BKA-130-C power amplifiers.
ButtKicker®mini Concert /LFE Installation
1) The ButtKicker mini Concert/LFE transducer is designed to be installed directly to the frame of your chair(s). While each
installation will vary based on your chairs’ construction, the basic steps apply to all chairs.
a) The mini Concert/LFE transducer should be attached firmly to the frame of your chair. Most chairs are built on a wooden
frame to which a recline mechanism is attached. Locate a surface on the wooden frame that accomadate the mini
Concert/LFE and allows for proper recline operation.
b) Attach the mini Concert/LFE to the chair using wood screws or bolts. The mini Concert can be secured using either the
three mounting feet or the side mount flanges. When using the side mount flanges a washer may be need to catch the
screw head against the mounting flange surface.
1) Simply follow the instructions in the included Couch/Chair Mounting Accessory Kit(s).
1. INSTALL THE BKA-130-C POWER AMPLIFIER
2) The BKA-130-C amplfier is designed to be placed underneath or behind your furniture. The BKA-130-C is not mountable.
Many customers find it simplest to place the BKA-130-C underneath their furniture, ensuring that proper clearance is
given for the furnitures’ recline mechanism (if present).

If you have questions or need technical support,
please contact The Guitammer Company, not
the store where you purchased the product.
Q. Where can I find more information about the BKA-130-C power amplifier?
A. Please refer to the separate Owner’s Manual for your BKA-130-C power amplifier, included with
your system and also available at www.thebuttkicker.com.
Q. I have the intensity for the ButtKicker transducer turned up all the way, but I want more. What can I do?
A. You can increase the output level of your A/V processors’ subwoofer channel. This may require you to
adjust your subwoofer to balance it with the rest of your system. Also, consider purchasing RI-K28
rubber isolator feet from www.thebuttkicker.com. Isolators will enchance the ButtKicker transducers;
resulting in more intensity and precision.
Q. I hear knocking/banging noises coming from the ButtKicker transducer at high intensities.
A. Your ButtKicker transducer being over-worked. The ButtKicker transducers can be over-worked because
they are receiving too strong a signal coupled with a high intensity setting on the BKA-130-OE amplifier.
You can lower the intensity of the BKA-130-C (use your wired remote control) or lower the output
level of your A/V processor’s subwoofer channel. Also,consider purchasing rubber isolators from
www.thebuttkicker.com. Isolators will enchance the ButtKicker transducers; resulting in more intensity
and precision and may help to elimate the issue.
