2x Buttkicker Gamer Pro

[RoVer88]

Hello,

I have 2x Buttkicker Gamer Pro mounted to my rig. Do I need to get both amplifiers too or is there a way to use one (for the left kerbstones) and one (for the right kerbstones) with one amplifier and how should they be connected?

Any advice?

Buttkicker's amp is a mono amp so if you use them you will need two.
The Buttkicker Gamer Pro is a 2 ohm unit. You can use any amp that has 2 channel output (left/right) AND able to drive a 2 ohm speaker.

Any advice on that?
Will this do the job?

Any advice

Realistically, transducers *rated* higher than 2 Ohms may dip even lower than that at haptic frequencies.
Practically, amplifiers mostly die from from excessive current draw.
Amplifiers rated at 100W into 4 Ohms should be good for 50W into 2 Ohms.
7.1 receivers are often rated at 6 Ohms; one with 120 WPC rating should deliver 40W to 2 Ohms.

FYI, Fosi amps all come with power supplies that are under powered for the max output of the amp.
The one you listed is 19v/4.7a which is about 84 watts output (not factoring in efficiency loss) so the amp although rated for 50w x2 would only put out about half that with the power supply supplied. You would need to also purchase a higher output power supply to get the max output on that amp.
Even at 50 watts per channel, it would not drive the buttkickers well.
I would look at amps that put out at least 100 watts per channel. JMO
If you get a Fosi amp, be prepared to spend a little more on a power supply for it that can drive the amp at max rated output.
