I have seven of these installed in 7 home theater chairs. I have them hooked up to a Dayton Audio SPA250 250W RMS single channel subwoofer plate amplifier. A mix of parallel and series connection I was able to give the circuit aproximately a 7 ohm impedance, note I said impedance as it is not a linear nor constant value as some might think. With this I am aproximately giving them 25-30 watts of power each. These will rattle you like nothing you have every experienced. Even though they are cheap these are better than the Soundshaker or ButtKicker premium brands. This isn't to say that you can just hook this up to any amp any way you want and expect them to work perfectly. Not only is hooking them up to the correct amp extremely important but also how you have them installed on your chair is equally important. You need to have a solid mounting bracket to adhere these to. For best results install them in the up firing position. The best material to use is wood/pine/oak. Don't try to mount them to a soft surface like the cushion, they will not work correctly. These work great for music as well but if there is a delay as some have reported, then you have a problem with your connection. Most likely you have them wired backwards, which will cause them to be 180 degrees out of phase with the rest of your audio system. As you can expect this will cause a delay. Macke sure the amp you have is rated in RMS. Many manufactures love to overstate there amps as something like 10000 watts of power when it would be lucky to supply 10 watts. This is because there is no standard to what the manufactures have to report. The amp may be able to output a transient power spike at 10000 watts for a nanosecond so the statment is true. RMS however is the average power. Do not exceed the power rating on these either, there is no need as well since they work great in the 30 to 40 watt range. Also, the frequency response of these is 20Hz to 80Hz so make sure you have your cutoff frequency on your amp set to 80hz.
