Wiring these three 4-ohm bass shakers

Okay, I'm completely confused... here it goes.
I'd like to buy three 4-ohm aura bass shakers.
To power them, I'm going to buy this cheap audiosource 100 amp.
Here is the manual for the audiosource amp:

I'll split a LFE signal from my amp and run it into the L/R Input on the audiosource amp.
Now... here is where I am lost. The three bass shakers are 4-ohms. The amp says it can handle 8-ohm and 4-ohms.
Can I run speaker wire from the +/- terminals of the left channel on speaker A to one bass shaker... another set of wire from the +/- right channel on speaker A to the second bass shaker... and finally speaker wire from the +/- terminals of the left channel of speaker B to the third shaker?
If done in this fashion, with the amp send out the appropriate 4 ohms to each shaker?
I've read that some people have wired TWO shakers in series which (from what I understand) essentially turns these two shakers into an 8-ohm speaker. If this is the case... what do I do with the third shaker???
Ugh... I find all of this very confusing. At any rate... a little help would be great.
Thanks.

I always just assumed that these things connected to the subwoofer LFE output... hmm.
