I am reading around about that is better to use 2 subwoofers un your system but My A/V receiver has only one Subwoofer Output. If I Use One powered Subwoofer (Subwoofer Output) and One Passive subwoofer (in the front Channels Can this to improve my Sound or This Can to make worse My Sound.
Since the front speakers are connected directly to the passive subwoofer and not directly to the A/V Receiver this Can to Make worse My Front speakers Sound?
thanks in advance:)

Using your receiver to drive a passive subwoofer is not wise. And If you are asking about how to do it then you are not the person that should be doing it. Anyone who might use it that way would already know plenty about subwoofers. For you I suggest you use and RCA Y-Cable if you want to use multiple subs.

Still I suggest you start with one. Then add as necessary. If it's for home theater then you probably could get by with 1. If it's for stereo listening you will want 2.
