How much amp do I need for a pair of Aura bass shaker pros?

[jhayes]

I was looking at a 70W amp for a pair of Aura bass shaker pros. While the recommended up is probably 100W, I doubt I'd ever have these things close to full volume.

Do you think the 70W would be enough or should I splurge the extra $50?

Thanks!

Look at the manual carefully. I think you'll see somewhere that the amp's power rating should not exceed 50 watts or you risk damage to the amp. I had these things in the past and used with a very powerful spare amp. These things ruined the amp in a year.

Did you have them wired in series? I know they're 4 ohm units, so if not in series, they could pull more power than the receiver was expecting.

Anyway, I'm curious if the 70W would be enough or if I need the more power.

Thanks all.

You can't be serious? Bass shakers? Just buy a vibrater and some batteries.

Just trying to get an answer if a 70w amp would be enough to power them for lower settings.

Thanks.
