Is there a way for me to run dual subs? My signature has my gear. I have a chance to get 2 Mirage Omni S10 subwoofers for a steal and am wondering if there is a way to do it. My receiver does not have dual sub outs so wondering if there is a way to achieve this without overloading or shorting anything.

Thanks in advance,
Shawn

    Pick up a Y-splitter (1-RCA Male to 2-RCA Female). You just split the single output for 2.

    Now would that decrease the output to each sub? would it cause the AVR to run less efficiently or would it degrade the sound quality at all? Thanks for your input.

    I have an entire technic on how to calibrate and setup 2 subs in a system using one LFE output. Search the forum for my Definitive Technology Mythos Thread which I have it listed on there. If you have any trouble , just shoot me a PM and I'll post it here.

    PM me your address and I'll send you one I have just sitting here. I have no need for it because my receiver has dual sub outputs now. I won't be able to send it out until next week sometime though.
