Bass shaker pre-wire

I'm currently building my home theater and am wiring for 7.1. I'd also like to pre-wire for 4 bass shakers. Do i need 4 separate wires run to the seating area, or 1 and run the other 3 off it? Thanks for any help.

What are you driving them with?

I have a Pioneer 1014, and also an older Technics stereo receiver. I have read that I needed a second receiver but am not sure excatly how to hook it all up.

This should help

Thanks for the info Scott.

I was thinking about running 2 subs off the pioneer with a y split. Is this not recommended, or how would you even go about running 2 subs, or should I not even bother. They are both Energy subs, an 8 and a 10.

Would I still be able to run bass shakers?

Diagram updated.

I have mine split for 8 bass shakers and 3 subs. There is some singal loss but that is what the gain or volume is for

Thanks for the great diagrams and quick responses.

Sorry about bringing this back up, but can i just use speaker wire for my bass shakers or do i need wires with rca connectors.
Thanks Mike
