2 Subwoofers

All my speakers are in my ceiling and I plan on getting TWO subwoofers in my wall. The reason I want to is because in wall subs are not as powerful, but two should be good.

My question is as follows:

The in-wall subs need an amp. My receiver's channels are all full. So I need to use my RCA Sub Out on my receiver, run that to an amp, and run the amp to the sub. My receiver has TWO RCA sub outs. The question is should I get a 1 channel amp for each sub, or get one two channel amp for both the subs.

I guess I'm wondering how the sound is distributed to the amps. Will both of receiver's RCA sub outs transfer IDENTICAL sound? Will either hook up result in the same exact sound or is one better than the other?

    You can do it either way. If using a monoblock amp, just make sure the amp can drive 2 of the in-wall subs run in parallel. The 2 sub outs are most likely identical (wired in parallel) but you may want to contact the manufacturer to find out.
