First of all ... Welcome

Here is a small list of Movies with Bass you'll find them around the middle of the page (Question # 9)

My favorites besides Transformers: U571, Master nad Commander, Star Wars I (pod race), Top Gun, Die Hard 4 (last one) ... just to mention a few.

If I recall correctly ... low cut off switch in the off position; then High cut off in the on position ... mine is set at 60Hz or 70Hz (can't recall exactly) and the volume is less than half (I think is just one third)

If you have to adjust the volume I assume is because the movie doesn't have a lot of bass (I felt that sometimes, there's some movies that you can really feel the bass )

Re: recommended buttkicker movies


I don't have a buttkicker, but I'm guessing that WOTW 2 the sequal would get the buttkickers going, as well as entertaining a good laugh or two.

I'm not sure when it came out but it was a very funny low budget film I saw. When it started I had to turn down my subwoofers because of loud tripods. The bass was not real low but very powerful, somewhere near 50Hz probobly. The movie features an abandon air force bass with magical planes, a spaceship that looks like a warehouse (I kid not they run out of a back door of a warehouse that is the spaceship), cars driving by the set in the middle of the supposed end of the world, and it gets better. The leading actor also has this face of concern the entire film.

Re: recommended buttkicker movies


I would say even a SD version of Lion King has some great bass scenes. The beginning where you have elephants walking. Overall not alot of bass, but some good scenes where it gets real low.

Also, Black hawk down for Blu Ray, Hitman had so much bass it actually blew my dads sub.

Re: recommended buttkicker movies


Just watched Valkyrie last night and that first scene was intense. To bad the rest of the movie had little base but that first 3 min was amazing with the butt kickers and my surround sound.
