Bass shakers aren't regular speakers. It's a motor with a small disc, attached to the shaft, with the hole drilled off-center. It's basically a larger, heavier version of a water bed massage device.

I have 4 of these running series/parallel off a 240 Dayton amp. Works great!
I was wondering how you connect the power of this amp on a surround sound system? The pics on the parts-express.com site shows the back of it and it looks like it is for car use only.

My second question is about your setup with the 4 Aura shakers; With 4 of them what is the minimum amp size you need? Are you connecting them in series or parallel?

Series/parallel for 4 speakers since they're usually 4 Ohm load. Like any other speaker, it's better to have more power than you would need.

1- If I want to keep it 4 ohm, is it better to do serie or parallel?

2- How much watt is need for my amp to run 4 of these?

If you are using 4 of them, then run two in series, with two in parallel.

2- How much watt is need for my amp to run 4 of these?
Each is rated for 50 watts, so 200 watts is a good starting point. Between 200 and 300 watts is fine since you can turn down amp power as appropriate.
