Trying to split my pre-amp sub output from one to two.
I have a standard metal 1 in 2 out, but it is to large and it gets in the way of the other outputs. Is there a sub-woofer splitter that is just a cable instead of a metal one and where can I find one?

HERE (https://www.cablesforless.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=13727) is one for $3
Hey thanks for the replay, guess I drew a blank and what those things are called.
I have two subs in the room now but with only one sub out I needed to do this split. I was also considering doing some tactile transducer as add ons, but was not sure how many times one can split the sub output before getting audio problems.

I was also considering doing some tactile transducer as add ons, but was not sure how many times one can split the sub output before getting audio problems.You can usually split a few times with no problems. The two splits you'd need for the transducers should be no problem.
If you want a nicer looking Y-splitter (although it's not at all necessary), they're available for little bit more than what I linked you to.
And you can do the split wherever it's most practical; it doesn't have to be right at the pre-amp's sub out. For example, you can split at the end of an RCA cable that runs to the first sub if you want to. There are Y-adapters with different ends (male vs. female) as well as simple (and cheap) adapters that will convert any ends to what you might need, sex-wise.
Yep I am finding all kinds now, just a matter of having the right word on google. I did find one with a nicer wrapping that I just ordered.
as far as for the transducer goes it would be easier to do the split at the equipment rack since I can wire it from there to the chairs pretty easy. I guess one can daisy chain the transducers from a single sub out. I have never had them, but I took a ride on a D-box and thought that was real cool, so this would be a cheaper alternative. It would be nice if DVD's had a discrete out for tactiles.
