Hopefully someone can help me out here. I just bought 2 Aura 50 watt pro bass shakers for my home theater. I then split the sub pre-out (from my Yamaha HTR-5830 receiver) and ran one to my subwoofer and the other to the CD-input of an Onkyo TX-SR505 receiver. I then connected the two bass shakers (in series using about 15 feet of 18g wire) to one of the front speaker terminals of the Onkyo. However, even with the volume maxed on the Onkyo, when I hold the shakers I can tell they are vibrating but it is nothing impressive (I was watching the first scene of Star Wars Episode IV - i.e. the space battle)
1) I don't know what to expect - does this sound right to you? (I would like to make sure before I start disassembling the couch)
2) The Onkyo receiver puts out 75 watts per channel - is the receiver too weak?
3) If #2 is the case, I tried connecting the shakers to the Yamaha which advertises 110 watts per channel but it still doesn't seem to shake very much.
Thanks
