Hooking up 3 SUBS with one subwoofer output.

I know that since my receiver has only one output for a subwoofer that I have to use a Y adaptor to hook up two, now what if I want to add another which i have just sitting here since I bought 2 new ones, how do I achieve this? and will it take away the clarity of the LFE?

Samsung ln46a650
Sony STR-DA2400ES
Mirage MX 5.1 + 1 Mirage MX to run 7.1
Mirage Nano CC
Mirage Omni S10 Sub
Mirage mm6 Sub
Klipsch KSW 100

The same way.

You may need to up the volume on the receiver if the signals don't get there.

I wouldn't recommend hooking up a 3rd subwoofer. You will definitely degrade the signal and quality of the sound daisy chaining 3 subs off one output... Upgrade your subs if you aren't happy with your bass response...

Yeah your probably right, I wouldn't want the quality of sound to decrease. I just always heard "The more subs the better" I just didn't know where the line was drawn. Thanks for the advice.
