I currently have a single PSW505 hooked up to my onkyo receiver. i have both L/R channels going to the sub via speaker wire, then from the sub, speaker wire going to my L/R front speakers. I bought another PSW505 and am wondering how to connect it without having to use RCA cables and "Y" splitters, i want it done with speaker wire. PLEASE HELP!!! thank you

    Right and left sub inputs are combined into mono internally, so there is no "empty" channel.
