Hello, I'm wondering if someone could help in regards to connecting two subs to one sub output. I recently bought a Pioneer vsx 1120-k 7.1 receiver and have a psw110 sub, tsi 500's, tsi 200's as rears. I recently received another psw110 sub and would like to add it to the system through a splitter of some sort. My question is will it make enough of a difference in the bass output to make it worthwhile and is there any chance of damaging the receiver by doing this. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

    No damage to the receiver, Y adapter and the difference will be dual mono subs which might enhance your listening environment, depending on many other factors than what you have described.

    Setting up two subs to play nice with eachother, even if they are the same exact sub, will be the tricky part in this equation. Make sure you have a couple decent length sub cables and move them around to find the sweet spot. I put a picture below of an example of what you are looking for. Hope this helps.

    Welcome welcome. Like people have said, try different locations. One spot might sound horrible, then moving it over a few feet could completely change how you experience the sound.

    No harm in trying new things
