Sub Wiring Suggestions?
« on: 7 Aug 2009, 05:30 am »
  I have a KLH sub that had a problem with the amp. Crappy design and no support from KLH had forced me to just buy a new amp.  I went with a   Dayton SA240-B 240W Subwoofer Amplifier with Boost. Nothing special and it has some very good customer feedback.
  For my Bday, my wife got me 2 of the Aura Pro Bass Shakers. It's a tactile transducer  (Power handling: 50 watts RMS/100 watts max *Impedance: 4 ohms *Usable frequency response: 20 to 80 Hz *Fs: 40 Hz *Force peak: 30 lbs. per ft.)
 Here is what I want to do...
  The KLH sub is 120 watts, 8ohms.  I was thinking about wiring the 2 bass shakers in series, making them 8 ohms, Then I was going to wire those with the KLH sub in parallel, putting the whole setup at 4 ohms.  The Dayton amp will run 240 watts @ 4ohms. By my combining the 3 speakers, is there formula I should know about the combined wattage? or is it just add the 3 for a total? What are your thoughts about the wiring?

Electrically it should work - however the issue you might run into is matching the output of the shakers and the sub.
