Amp for LFE Shakers

[jaxvon]

I plan on getting some LFE shakers at some point for the system I'm putting together, but I'm at a loss of what to get to amplify them. I know a nice distributed audio amp would work, but those are expensive and it seems like such a waste of quality just to send 30w to a moving weight that shakes the couch. Any ideas?

Hello
If you are on a tight budget an old receiver will work to drive a pair of
Aura type accuators If you are going to install Clark or Buttkicker Try to save for the Butkicker amp Its feature set and build quality is outstanding for the $
range of 5 - 200 Hz.
