Zone 2 using 2 powered subs - how to hook up

[pgapro0825]

Hello,

I have Onkyo 646, I'm using the Zone 2 for separate audio and want to add 2 powered subwoofers. Both subs have high/low terminals. I am able to wire one of them using the terminals but cannot figure out how to wire them both.

I tried wiring them separately through the high frequency, and then one to the left front and one to the right front but I lost the low range and had no bass.

Any advice?

Hard to make much sense from your post. Subs can have a variety of different types of "terminals" on the pack panels, and I have no idea what you mean by "wiring through the high frequency." We’ll need links to the two subs that show pictures of their rear panel connections.

By no means an expert but have you tried to utilize a couple splitters

Just split the wires at the speakers and the at the subs. Twist two ends together to insert into binding posts.

Here is a pic of the rear of the subs, they are the same.

When you tried just connecting left to one sub and right to the other, you say the subs lost the low range...this was regardless of the gain setting on the sub?
