Please Help with adding second subwoofer

[olsoneer]

Hi you guys, new to the forum here. I was wondering if I could get some help in adding a second subwoofer to my Denon 3802, that only has one LFE rca jack. What is the simplest and most effective way to add a rear subwoofer to this reciever ? Or, what is the only way, sort of have my mind made up with a new home with basement. Thanks

You can get a splitter/Y-cable pretty cheaply. That's the best way to go, I think.

Thanks alot, that thought had crossed my mind, but it seemed too simple, too easy, thought it would weaken the signal or something.

Here's another question, I have read so many people remarking about the range of sounds one gets when adding a separate amp and "bi-amping" there front main towers. My Polks are "bi-ampable", is this recommended ? Looking at an Onkyo 100w/ch the M-282. What should one look for as far as too much power, etc. How exactly do you bi amp ? signal in to amp, speaker out of amp ?
