Hello:

I have a regular Lane Recliner and am trying to figure out how to mount a Buttkicker to it. I am trying to rig it similar to the Berkline setup, but obviously, we are talking two different chairs with different attirbutes.

Has anyone installed a Buttkicker in a recliner other than a Berkline? If so, how did you do it?

Thanks!

I installed bass shakers into berklines that don't have standard buttkicker mounting options

Take a few pics of the chair (bottom, back, flaps up, etc) and I'm sure we can give you some ideas.

Here is how I did it as an example:

Attached are two detailed photos of my recliner. The first is the rear of my recliner. There is a piece of plywood already installed back there. I was thinking of buying another piece of similarly thick plywood and attaching the two together.

The second picture shows the frame of my recliner. I cannot install the Buttkicker directly under the seat because there is no wooden seat bottom. Under the seat springs is the seat itself. I have found a furniture repair shop that could disassemble the chair to allow me access to the frame.

Which installation method would you recommend? Also, is there much of a difference between the BK-LFE and BK-LFE Advanced units?

Thanks again for all your help!!!

I can only speak for bass shakers as they are all I have experience with (much cheaper too):

I'd probably do something similar to the idea in your first pic. Just be careful that bridging the two pieces of wood wont effect the motion of the recliner (ie: when you recline, the distance between the mount points don't change). I'd consider screwing a piece of plywood just to one side or the other and mounting the buttkicker or bass-shaker to the plywood. If you are SURE that you can screw a piece of plywood between the two pieces of the frame without effecting the recline mechanism, then that might work pretty well.
