Need some advice

[JCanada]

The advice I have received in the past has been very helpful, so I turn to you guys once again. I have an Onkyo TX-RZ 820, and a Yamaha AS 801. I use the Onkyo AV receiver for movies, and the Yamaha for 2 channel music listening. I have one set of towers connected to the Onkyo, and another set of towers connected to the Yamaha. I have just purchased 2 subs, and I am wondering how I can connect both subs to both amplifiers, and listen to 2 subs when I have the Onkyo on, and listen to 2 subs when I have the Yamaha on. Is this possible? Next issue is about storage. I received another Yamaha AS 801 as a gift, so I put it away after I listened to it only twice. Do I need to be worried if it sits in my closet? I eagerly await some help here. Thanks.

You can have the subs connected to two systems if the subs have two inputs. Otherwise you will need some kind of small signal mixer.

The Yamaha will be fine in the closet as long as it the temperature and humidity is controlled.

For the need to attach two amps to one Sub: any reason these wouldn't work?

Just reverse it for attaching two subs to one amp.

Do both to do both.

Regarding the long term storage of the Yamaha A-S801, do you suggest I fire it up once a year or so? Or just let it sit with no worries?

I don't see how firing it up every once in awhile will do anything to help its longevity. It has no mechanical parts. I'm not an electrical engineer though, so maybe one of our resident EEs can chime in here.
