How do I connect a single bass shaker?

Connect a single bass shaker to one channel of a stereo or bridged-mono amplifier. The shaker is 4 ohms, so make sure your amplifier supports that impedance. Use 14–16 AWG speaker wire and secure all connections tightly for best performance.

How many bass shakers can I connect to one amp?

Wire two bass shakers in series (8 ohms) or parallel (2 ohms). Four shakers can be wired in a series-parallel setup to maintain a 4-ohm load. Confirm your amplifier can safely handle the total impedance, and never exceed 50 watts RMS per shaker.

What type of amplifier works best?

Use a subwoofer or low frequency amp that matches the shaker’s power rating and 4-ohm impedance. Dayton Audio’s SA70 works for 1 shaker, the SPA250 for 2 to 4, and the SA1000 or SPA1000 for larger setups. A low-pass filter below 80 Hz is recommended.

What crossover setting should I use?

Set your low-pass crossover at or below 80 Hz for optimal realism. This sends only low-frequency energy to the shaker and lets your speakers and subwoofer handle the rest. Lower the crossover if you want a more subtle, vibration-only feel.

How can I improve performance?

For best results, focus on solid mounting, isolation, clean wiring, and proper amplifier setup. Make sure the shaker has full contact with a rigid surface, confirm safe mounting locations and visit daytonaudio.com for additional support.
