Deang Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 I'm seriously toying with the idea of getting a pair of these (they come in pairs) I found several more powerful offerings, but I'm not really interested in anything that needs to be mounted to the joists for the purposes of shaking the whole floor. I just want to mount them to the bottom of my recliner. For that -- the Aura Bass Shakers will suffice. I read the manual but I have several questions. 1. The manual says nothing about a crossover. One would assume you need a crossover -- yet nothing is said regarding them. 2. I understand I need a dedicated 50 watt amp. No problem. But how am I supposed to wire it if I'm already using both mains outs on my preamp for my 2 channel amp and my subwoofer (line level inputs). Any clue on these things? ------------------ dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundog Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 You could use a "Y" connector so you can split the preamp out signal between your sub and the shakers amp. ------------------ Soundog's HT Systems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake2 Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 I have a pair, and have done as soundog suggests. I split the sub-out with a y-adapter. There is no crossover -- that is correct. They will respond to whatever is coming out of your sub-out on your receiver. That should be OK. Doug ------------------ My System Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-man Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 Just like Sounddog says. I put a y-splitter on my sub out jack, and that already carries the crossed over frequencies. ------------------ KG 5.5 (mains) KLF-C7 (center) KG 1 (rears) SVS 20-39CS+ (sub) Aura Bass Shakers (pair) Kenwood amp for sub and shakers Denon AVR 681/1601 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted March 18, 2002 Author Share Posted March 18, 2002 hmm but aren't the connectors on the shakers made for speaker cable? I'm using the 2nd main outs on my preamp to the low level inputs of my sub. ------------------ dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake2 Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 Yes, the Aura's take speaker level input. You would route the RCA connector from the y-adapter off your preamp's sub-out, to your dedicated Aura amp (that you provide). Then, connect speaker wires from the amp to the Aura's, just like hooking up regular speakers 'cept these ain't got no speakers in 'em!
