Key Features
  • Tactile Bass Enhancement transfers low-frequency vibrations through the mounting surface for a physical bass experience.
  • 50W Nominal Power Handling allows each shaker to operate using a suitable external amplifier.
  • Compact Under-Seat Design delivers tactile bass without occupying valuable boot space.
  • 20–80Hz Operating Range targets the low-frequency energy associated with bass impact.
  • Dual-Shaker Configuration provides separate transducers for installation beneath two seating positions.
  • Original Aura Engineering features a finned metal housing, ceramic magnetic system and speaker-style terminals.
Installation Notes
  • External amplifier required: The shakers are passive devices, rated at 50W nominal and 4Ω each.
  • Mounting: Designed for firm contact with a suitable mounting surface, traditionally beneath the vehicle seats.
  • Two 4Ω shakers present an 8Ω load in series or 2Ω in parallel; amplifier compatibility must be confirmed.
  • Adds physical bass sensation rather than replacing the audible low-frequency output of a properly designed sound system.
OSCA Fun Fact

Before entering car audio, Aura Systems developed advanced electromagnetic technology for US government defence projects, including the famous “Star Wars” missile defence programme. The company later applied its expertise to tactile bass technology, filing an electromagnetic transducer patent in 1993, which was granted in 1995. An unusual connection between military research and the bass-heavy car audio culture of the '90s!

Shaking Up the '90s

During the 1990s, car audio was increasingly about the physical impact of music, with powerful subwoofers and elaborate custom installations becoming part of enthusiast culture. Aura Systems approached the bass craze differently, creating tactile transducers that transferred low-frequency energy directly into the vehicle structure. Instead of relying entirely on large speaker enclosures and high sound-pressure levels, its Bass Shaker range offered another way to experience bass. The Pro Bass Shaker captures this experimental side of the era, when car audio manufacturers were pushing beyond conventional sound reproduction.
