Help setting up subwoofer (bass shaker) with PC audio

Hi

I would really appreciate some know-how on the audio for my home sim cockpit set up. I purchased some aura bass shakers for immersion, and want them to play off the audio coming out of my PC. The more I look into this, the more parts I find I need...

I was hoping to be able to plug my pc audio into the RCA low level input, and then convert the aura wiring into an RCA plug and use it in the output. This doesnt seem to work though, and I think I need to change or boost the signal from the PC audio line.

To this effect im wondering if I need to buy an AV home theatre receiver, and input my PC audio to it, then run an RCA from the subwoofer pre-out into my subwoofer amp, which then connects to the aura bass shakers...

Would this be the best way? Would adding a headphone amp between the PC audio and the subwoofer amp do the same job? (more convenient as smaller). Is there a better way, or something I am missing here?

Also, my method for connecting the bass shakes is to convert audio cable wire into an RCA jack and plug it into the amp... Im really not confident about this step either (neg and positives separate or together, plug into just one channel on the amp...?) and would appreciate any advice on this also.

Many thanks

I should note that at the moment Im just running the PC audio into an rca splitter. My guess is this limits the sound to stereo (not 5.1), I dont mind as long as the bass is not affected, because ultimately this set up is to ensure LFE gets to the bass shakers. I run headphones for sound.
