I have installed Aura Bass Shakers in the 2 recliner portions of our sectional group.

The trickiest part about installing in a recliner is finding a spot with enough room that doesn't interfere with the chair mechanism or the spring/cushion movement when in use. I turned one of the chairs upside-down and removed some of the upholstery from the back (luckily attached with velcro). Then I worked the reclining mechanism back and forth to see where I had clearance. Originally I tried to fit them under the seat but ended up mounting them across the back, in the kidney area. I cut a pine 1x6 and fastened it to the two main vertical frame members with liquid nails construction adhesive and drywall screws. Then I attached the shaker to the pine board in the middle with wood screws. The 1x6 is compliant enough to vibrate when excited by the shakers and couple well to the main frame without rattling or buzzing.

We have alot of fun with these. It's great to see the look on the face of an unsuspecting guest when their chair starts to "move". One friend of ours actually leapt to her feet during a movie and turned to look back at the seat. I bought them as a cheap experiment but was pleasantly surprised with their performance, especially when used judiciously (like most of these effects type things). Very easy to drive too. They can get a little annoying when listening to music when they are real active so I usually turn them down for a more subtle enhancement.

I highly recommend these to anyone who can't use a subwoofer (space considerations, apartment neighbors, etc.) And if you already have a sub it does complement. Great way to enhance headphone listening too.
