and secure them in place with the star washers and
acorn nuts using the supplied wrench to make sure the
bolts are tight.
c. Connect the supplied speaker wire to the red and black
speaker terminals on the ButtKicker® Advance unit.
2. Position the CMAK mounting plate under your furniture
a. If possible, put the CMAK mounting plate under a leg
at the center of the furniture. If there isnt a leg at the
center, place it under one of the corner legs.
b. Sometimes, there is room to hide the ButtKicker®
Advance on the inside of the furniture. You may need
to pull back the dust cover to provide access to the
inside of the furniture.

Note: Make sure there is proper ventilation and clearance for the ButtKicker
if placed inside the furniture.
c. It is very important that the other legs of the furniture
are supported using the supplied rubber isolators. If
possible, these should be screwed into the legs using
the supplied wood screws. However, if needed, they can
simply be placed under the other legs of the furniture.

FAQs
Q. What are the three Preset EQ buttons on the Remote Control for?
A. Movie setting: Frequency response is flat with no filtering or cutoffs.
Music setting: Set to +6dB increase of frequencies below 25 Hz with a frequency roll
off of -12dB per octave above 100 Hz.
Game setting: Set to -6dB reduction of frequencies below 25 Hz with a frequency roll
off of -12dB per octave above 100 Hz.
Q. When using the ButtKicker® Power Amplifier BKA300-4 without the wireless option, I get a
"buzz" or "hum" from my speakers now. It's always there, even if the sound is turned all the
way down. What's my problem?
A. Your home theater system has developed a "Ground Loop" which is caused by having more
than one ground connection in the system. Most likely, your cable TV combined with the
ground of the ButtKicker® Power Amplifier BKA300-4 power cord is causing interference
in the audio system. In fact, any other electronic device with a grounded power plug might
cause the problem as well.
You can eliminate the problem in your system by adding a "Ground Loop Isolator", available
at numerous places, such as Radio Shack (item #270-054). Plug one end of the ground loop
isolator into the RCA input on the back of the ButtKicker® Power Amplifier BKA300-4 and then
plug the RCA cable coming from your A/V processor into the other end of the ground loop isolator.
Q. I have the ButtKicker® Power Amplifier BKA300-4 turned up all the way, but I want even
more intensity. How do I do this?
A. Most A/V processors have an option to increase the output from the subwoofer channel.
Turn up this output to get more audio signal to the ButtKicker
This may require you to turn down the volume of your subwoofer so that it is balanced with
the rest of the system.
Q. My floor is carpeted. Do I really need to use the rubber isolators?
A. Yes! The isolators will support and level your furniture; they will maximize the effect of the
ButtKicker® Advance; and they will make sure that the effect is contained within the furniture.
