Multiple Woofers

I have seen HT setups where there was more than one woofer. I am new to the home theater hobby, and was wondering how do you setup two woofers when there is one sub LFE connection on the receiver?

    couple of ways
    1: yuse a Y adaptor to plug into the lfe and hook two sub cables to the Y.
    2: use a pair of audio cables and hook them up to your L&R pre outs diractly to the sub and this way it will play the low frequencies of your L&R channels that your speakers cannot reproduce.
    i prefer the second as this is how i was using to subs in my system lfe sub x-over about 65hz and the L&R sub x-over about 120-125hz for a low mid punch in the face.
    now i have L&R towers that have subs built in hooked up with the L&R pre outs going to the sub input of the speaker.

    try both ways whichever one you like the sound of best is the one the that works :D
