Three cheap subs rockin' the house

I had an old Yamaha sub sitting in the basement collecting dust. Yesterday I decided to hook it up to my HT system. I positioned it in the front next to the television. I have two other cheap Acoustic Research subs in the rear on each side of the sitting position. I powered on all three of them with the extreme DVD version of T2 and the whole room was shaking. I could feel the vibrations from the subs going up my spine.
But to get three subs hooked up to a single subwoofer out on my receiver, it requires the use of two y-adapters. I would prefer to minimize the number of auxillary connections. Does anyone know where I can find a Y-adapter with one male/three female ends?
Also, the subs are hooked up via RadioShack gold series subwoofer cables. Is there any value in upgrading my cables? If so, what brand is good?

One way of doing it would be this, if you have IN and OUTS in your subwoofers you could very well daisy chain your subs. If you need more detailed info, let me know.Money Talks, Mine says Goodbye Rob!!!!
