    hey noor, so i got the 4 aura bass shakers, the amp you recommended, and the power supply. I also got speaker wires. Are RCA cables needed to connect them or no?

    You can use RCA connectors on the amp end, and the connectors of the Aura's the other end.

    Sometimes I think there's some kind of mockery going on with this type of questions, Mpmo.

    I swear I’m being serious? Not everyone is good with these things you know... so are RCA cables necessary? I don’t even know what they do.

    And you will never know if you keep waiting for someone to get the info to you instead of just getting that info yourself (considering that it's all over the place). Googling for "RCA cables" get's you everything you need.

    well... i use 8 aura and 2 amplifiers with 100 watts 4 channels each. Important to say : use 2 sound blaster ( audio pci ) on your pc ( 1 for each amp, and settings for QUADRAPHONIC ). Looks like my video... ( infortunelly, portuguese is my native language, but in general, its easy to look.

    just see my answer on another thread... WARNING: PUT YOUR LEVELS on sound card ( PC ) at minimum before config all amplifiers and shakers.. Because on sound cards setup ( gamevibe ) it works, but in VIBE CREATOR, 0 ( zero ) its fine.. but 1,2.....100 , have the same results.. volume corresponds on 100% !!

    one more interesting thing: the bigger the wire coming out of your pc to the RCA steeo input of your amplifier, the worse is the result, because this coiled cable generates a resistance, which ends up passing noises, hisses and interference to the shakers, even when everything is off in the game. If possible, take the correct measurement between your pc and the platform, cut and leave as short as possible.

    ahh so better to get a shorter rca cable? got it. I will use 4 shakers, but only testing 1 for now.

    Also, when i go to sound card setup in gamevibe, choose my sound card for the first sound card, then then press "turn on" on minimum volume, i get this error message..

    Does anyone know what i'm doing wrong? @noorbeast

    I tried to look up the error message but its just a general error message and really does not tell me allot.

    Does the sound card work for sound currently, are the drivers up to date?
    See what else I can think of...

    Sorry for the question, but have you played music on it or anything?
    Just want to make sure it is functioning as usual is all.
