question for peeps that know about hooking up amps...

first off... i have a 2 channel 75 watt amp.... and i hooked them up with some bass shakers.... (if you guys don't know what they are, they are thest two round things that shakes when bass hits) anyways.... i hooked up both of these two channels to two bass shakers.. and i jut got a bazooka from my friend.. actually i just took it from his garage cause he was not using it.... the question is... you think its alright to hook that bazook to the amp? or will it do something weird? like blow or just turn off or something? the way i'm going to hook it up is.... (first channel + - bass shakers) (second channel + - second bass shakers)... and
(using first channel + and second channel - hook up the bazooka)... i've already tried it and it worked out fine.... well i only had it on for maybe about 40 seconds...and nothing happend... so what you guys think?

Sounds like you're overdriving your amp. 75x2 isn't much, and by it turning itself off like that it's screaming at you to give the tube back to your friend.

where are your gains set at and what is the impedance of each thing you have on there? what size power and ground wire?

Some amps don't support the tri mode wiring, maybe check to see that your amp does it.
