Y Cable for 2 subs from one AVR Out

post #1 of 10
Thread Starter 
I want to have 2 subs connected to my AVR with only one out. Is this the cable I needed.

Thanks.

That's the one.

It is not a full length cable it is an adapter. My concern is not the gender of the ends but the adapter itself if it is the kind of cable (in that adapter) that serves the purpose.

Just daisy chain the subs togethor using line out on one to the line in on the other.

Not all subs have a line-out and on those that do it is not always unfiltered. It is actually best to use a Y-adapter instead of passing the signal through one sub, first, anyway.

Yes, it will work just fine. You can get an even cheaper Y-adapter than that, btw.

THIS one will work just fine at a third the price. But yours looks better.

Interesting Sid, Axiom audio says there is no problem daisy chaining their subs togethor. I have 2 ep350v3's and 1 ep600 daisy chained to my Denon 2805 and it works fine. When comparing the SPL readings Daisy Chained versus individual lines using an adapter, I didn't notice any difference in level reductio or SPL. Electrons really don't notice any difference do they?

Anyway, here is another option I've used with success from partsexpress.

We know the Y-adapter is completely transparent. We don't really know about the sub. So why pass the signal through the sub, when you can simply use a Y-adapter instead. You can use a Y at the first sub's input so that the wiring scheme is just like that provided by the daisy chain if you wish.

Thanks a lot to all.
