Daisy chaining PSW505's?

I own a PSW505 subwoofer (love it). I only have one LFE out on my receiver. Besides using a Y adapter to split the signal from the LFE out on the receiver to each sub, is there a different way of adding a second PSW505 to my setup? There is no low level out on a PSW505 so I don't think I could daisy chain them. Could I use the high level speaker outs from my existing sub to a second PSW505? I've never heard of that kind of daisy chaining for subs so I'm not sure. If that is not a possibility, does the use of a Y adapter diminish the signal to the subs? Thanks.

    Use a Y adapter.

    I second the Y adapter. I use one on my HT set up. There is no degradation of sound.

    where would one place this Y adapter? out of the receiver and two long sub cables, or at the end of a single sub cable splitting to two shorter ones closer to the subs?
    I disabled signatures.

    I use a short out of the back of the reciever then two 5 ft cables to each sub. Works fine.

    I have my Y adapter at the receiver, but 3 meter cables from there to each sub. I've never had a problem and have had two subs connected this way since 2012. If redned lost a sub this way, as he posted, I'd be willing to bet the Y adapter had nothing to do with it.
