The only downside of such "Subwoofer" type amps is that if you obtain a decent AV Reciever (preferrably 4 or 6 ohm support) you can get much more features for your money and easily 5 or 7 channels of amplification. Of course you would still need a sub amp for the LFE.
Stereo tactile is fine and these sub amplifers are cheap and easy to purchase then add more tactile. However for some using an AV Reciever is a better route with more features. If not then I recommend to look at getting some form of 5.1 decoder which can then output the seperate decoded channels.

LFE (low frequency effects)
The LFE does not always output the same effects as stereo.
Additionally stereo L/R do not always output effects that the LFE only gets.
This is all to do with how the music/game/movie has been encoded in the studio or mixed toghther.
Look for one that has Pro Logic IIx or Dolby Digital with outputs for each channel in RCA or 3.5mm. If you get one of these you then just hook up an RCA type cable for whatever channel you want to amplify or use with tactile. Mono tactile is nothing compared to what can be achieved.
I would recommend the OP to upgrade and get two more of these amps.
1x for Centre effects and use on pedals (engine revs and exhausts become felt)
1x for LFE to use with the stereo ouput.
Do consider however a "Buttkicker Mini LFE" shaker as it works better than the Aura Pro for LFE duties. Might be a little more expensive but works better with the low end effects and supports higher wattage.
