I have a question on how to hook up two subwoofers off of one home theater recevier, do you just run a splitter off of the sub pre-out on the back of the receiver or is there just no possible way to do this and im just mistaken in thinking its possible?

    Or some subs have a line out so you can jumper them off each other. Otherwise, split the signal.
