yamaha sub connections

MY sub has line in L&R and line out L&R, first does it matter if i hook up the sub cable is hooked to left or right in, also can i run another cable from line out to another subs line in {both are self powered} or should i spring for a splitter and run them separately.

By the way, my rec. does not have 2 sub output.

also, any good way to hook up two centers if your rec. does not have two center connections. thanx

You can daisy chain subwoofers by doing what you just asked; running one sub from the receiver and running the second sub using the line out on your first sub.

Depending on the sub itself, if it does not have an LFE (in case it does, I'd recommend using that rather than the LINE IN L/R), most manufacturer's have you use the Left (white) input.

If that's not the case, then I'd just use a y and split that sub out from the receiver out to both L/R input on your first sub.

thanks freddy, but the last part, i dont get.

is this right, splitter to BOTH L&R on first sub, then l go from L out from first sub to L in of second sub.

If thats correct, why both L&R as opposed to just single cable to just L in of first, then cable form out L of first sub to L in of 2nd.
