Subs set up whats better?

[Deech]

I was just wondering, I have two powered subs running from my receiver. This is how i have them set up, I have one sub out plug on my receiver which runs to my first sub into the sub in plug, then the sub has a sub out plug (to run more subs) on it which I run to the other sub. My question is would it be better if from the sub out plug on my receiver I plug in a splitter and then run each sub off of that? would that be a better set up then running one sub from the other sub? Thanks

I think two more subs would be optimal...

What? That has nothing to do with the question, but thanks

It was a joke, as one sub is usually substantial.

I think your setup now looks to be fine seeing as they are powered.

What you're doing is fine and probably far more predictable than using a splitter.

If you want to consider all options...

If you have a receiver/pre/pro which has the ability to perform bass management to more than one subwoofer you would connect each sub to a different output that your receiver/pre/pro provides

or

if your subwoofers have to ability to take a full frequency signal and have internal crossover filters that can pass anything above 40-120Hz out to mid and high range speakers, you can set your front L and R to full range and let the subs handle the low frequencies going to L and R instead of sending both LFE and lows to the subs.

While low frequencies aren't directional, there are benefits to the expanded range that such an arrangement provides.

But then you would need a 3rd sub to handle the LFE channel.
