Hello,
I am new to the forum, so please accept my apologies if this question is inappropriate to the forum, or just way too basic.
I have built a gaming chair pedestal for my sons that houses a subwoofer. It worked out nicely, but I would like to add a tactile transducer to the chair itself. I want to confirm what would be the correct way to wire the setup.
The AMP is a Dayton SA240 (170 watts RMS @ 8 ohms, 240 @ 4ohms)
The Dayton is currently driving a Rockford Fosgate Punch RFZ1412 (12" 4 ohms)
I want to wire in an Aura AST-2B-4 Pro Bass Shaker (4 ohms, 50 watts RMS)
Will wiring the Transducer in series with the Subwoofer be an effective setup? Please set me straight if I am going down the wrong path.
Thanks
Mike

I don't see why it wouldn't work, but You are going to be lacking on power for sure. Right now the sub wired to take all 240 watts. With the bass shaker, you'd have to wire the combination at 8 ohms giving you 170 watts between the sub and bass shaker. Thats 85 Watts for the sub and 85 for the bass shaker. So you will probably notice less output from the sub, but then again, the bass shaker may give the illusion of more bass.
Its worth a shot, and if you are lacking output on the sub, you could try a different enclosure(not sure if you could modify this chair at all) or you could buy another amp.

Thanks for the advice. I will try it as is, and if I don't get the output, I will add another small amp dedicated to the transducer.

Good day and welcome Mike. why not obtain the cheapest old 50-100 w amp you can find , ebay or whatever and use that for the vibrator.Problem solved, you have found the right path,
