Connecting a 2nd sub?

<font color='#000000'>Hi All;

I have this receiver:

<font color='#000000'>Ok, first of all you must identify if your primary or current sub has outputs, if so you will simply connect the onkyo sub out to the IN on the primary sub and connect your secondary sub to the OUT jacks of the first sub, therefore so called daisy chaining them together, that way you need no splitter on the receiver side nor will you have to adjust any other sub out adjustment other than the one on your receiver. Get it? &nbsp; &nbsp;IN to 1 sub, OUT the the other.

In the case your sub has no output jacks: You must head down to Rat Shack and pick up a couple splitters and split the signal to both subs from the receiver.

<font color='#000000'>WTF I had a much larger post than this explaining what my sub is and such!

Who edited my post?!</font>

<font color='#000000'>Well I will try this again...

Continuing from my first post above showing my receiver, this is my sub:

I have a splitter that came with my monster bass 400 cable but I thought it would plug right into the receiver then hook two cables up to the splitter, each cable going to one sub, but I was wrong. The splitter has the female end where the two males are, and it should be the other way around.

Please don't mess up my post again!</font>

<font color='#000000'>Hi Audioman,

Thanks for your advice. Unfortunately someone deleted over half my original post. As you can see by my above post, I had much more data for you to work with.. I would never post such a question while giving only so little data!

I do have a splitter, its got the ends reversed on it for some reason.

If i do that daisy chain thing, will one sub be louder, or quieter or sound better than the other?

In other words, is there a down side to doing this?

Thanks,

The splitter that came with the cable is for going into the sub, not out of the receiver. If your sub has left and right inputs, you use the supplied splitter. If your sub only has one input, then you do not use the supplied splitter. Hope this clears it up for you.

When daisy-chaining two subs or more, what goes into one sub goes is identical to what goes to the next and so forth. It is generally recommended to use identical subs when in a multi-sub or daisy-chained configuration. If not, then you would have to do some level matching which can be better done with an SPL meter.

So you won't lose any level or quality by daisy chaining the 2 of them together?

I will be using two identical subs, The one I already included a link to above.

Thanks
