Tricky Controller splice. Help!

flyguy1821:
Alright, got a question for you all.  Trying to build a cabinet that will eventually become a MAME system.  Right now it will have a ps2 and monitor, pretty basic.  I am building a 2 seat sit down cabinet with a 27 inch monitor.  What I want to do is put 2 Aura Bass shaker pros under the seats for effect.  I would like to tie into my PS2 controller using the rumble function to run the bass shakers.  Here is my dilemma, the bass shakers rely on regular 8 or 4 ohm speaker loads while the controller uses 110v to power itself.  I am wondering if anyone has attempted this or knows a way to "convert" the 110v signal so it wont fry the bass shakers?  My other option is to use a panel amp and plug into a receiver or something.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks

What is the wattage rating of the speakers. the ohm rating is just their resistance.

The wattage of the bass shakers is 75 watts RMS and 100 max.  They are not really speakers very little sound comes out, mostly vibration which is what they are intended for obviously.  Thanks

corect, just run an amp to it thats rated at 80W @ 8Ohms and you should be cool.
