So if you buy a receiver just make sure it will handle a 4 ohm load, or you can buy a separate power amplifier. I just bought a Crown XLS1000 to runs some bass shakers that I mounted under my theater seats and it will handle a 2 ohm load.

I actually had that problem with my old receiver. I could run just one speaker. If I ran two, the receiver would shutdown and need to cool off for some time before I could even use it again. I forget what kind of receiver it was, but I paid about $500 for it at the time. I want to say yamaha...but I don't think it was that good. I think I paid around $800 for the pair of speakers. I had some good times even with one speaker and no one enjoyed being my neighbor
