It might work, but they are not made for 4Ohm loads.
But there is a 4Ohm version of the chip called TDA7498E.
I have yet to try it.
I'm tempted to buy this one:

TPA3118D2 in a Gainclone case
Hallo everybody,
here is my case for TPA3118D2 amps, built using a couple of tin candy cans.
More information on “The reverse GainClone” thread ( http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/chip-amps/297538-my-reverse-gainclone-idea-gaincard-like-case.html ) in Chip Amp Forum.
Ciao.

I just found the strangest thing with my dual chip red board. I ran it with XY 6N3 tube pre amp, with the power amp at full volume, and the tube pre being the volume control. Power amp full volume, and player is at 80% volume, the tube pre at 40% is just nice in my small room, but when I turn it louder, the sound becomes bloomy and dull. I think to myself, 3116 should play louder and cleaner than this. Out of curiosity I connect the player directly to the amp, and it was so different! It plays louder, cleaner, more authority. More detail came into play, at the expense of slightly thinner vocals. It's as if the tube pre (or should I say buffer) is limiting and 'dulling' the sound. Could be impedance matching between the two, could be my system (speaker, player, etc) or maybe you guys have any thoughts on this? But I can say I'm surprised and pretty happy with this result.
Could be.
What's the output impedance of the pre-amp? What is the size of the input coupling capacitors on the amp? What gain is chip on the amp set to?
These factors influence whether you have an unintended PLLXO (passive line level cross over) filter in play in the audio freq. range.

If they have a 100W+ power supply they will put out 100W under normal circumstances you wouldn't want to listen to those 100W, because of distortion , but since this is for bass shakers it's full steam (smoke?) ahead.
Sorry, I really can't answer the first two questions
This is dual chip red board, gain is 26dB, all stock condition.
It sounded nice when I paired it with my 7297 lunch money amp, so I didn't really think about it when I received my 3116 board.

I think of using this for power. 24v/5A for under 15$?
That whould make 70 watts per channel into 4 ohms with tpa3116

Not familiar with bass shakers ... I agree with your point on the low frequency. But the "nominal" rms watt ratings are for a sine wave. Music is never as dense. Perhaps just some added PS bypass caps near the amps PS input would suffice (or replace using caps with higher values if you can find them in the same can diameter but taller. Also, if the existing PS caps are rated 25v on the amp, I'd replace them with 35v caps when using the 24v PS.
