I'm an HT newbie so this might be a silly rookie question but here goes. Can I wire another sub into my system by spliting the signal at the receiver's sub out using a Y-connector? Receiver is an HK635, sub is PSW505. If so does it have to be special connector to carry the LFE signal? Also, stacked or separate corners? Any advice is appreciated.

    Yep a y-adapter is just dandy. Some say stacked is the way to go but if you have stereo pre-outs you could try doing stereo subs (one near the left main speaker, other near the other), but that is probably only a good idea if you have two of the same sub.
