Which splitter is better?

For a quality and inexpensive sub-cable try LC-1 cable and one foot Y-cable Blue Jeans Cable.

Wow, the price difference is huge. I guess one has to pay for quality.

In reality this is probably as cheap as it gets for cables that use quality wire and connectors. You won't be sorry, as the benefits are real.

There are cables costing hundreds to thousands of dollars but where it counts is the quality, and the Blue Jeans LC-1 is just that. Analog cables are very susceptible to picking up noise and loss of signal. You're not wasting money, you are actually making out "big time" thanks to Blue Jeans.

At the price blue jeans charges, those cables are a steal. Just go on audiogon (www.audiogon.com) and look at the prices for used cables. I think you might be shocked to see what cables can run.

This Y adapter from CableSimple has better shielding than the generic splitter from Monoprice. It is only $4.48.

Hey Big D, that Y-Splitter is (1)Male/(2)Female. To have the right Y-Splitter for subs a Y-splitter with (1)Female/(2)Male

One male, two female Y adapter is for the back of the receiver to use two subwoofers. Two male, one female Y adapter is for using both inputs on the subwoofer for an additional gain of a few db's. I believe the OP wanted to use two subs.

Your right I made a mistake to the OP of this thread. I hope they read this before they order.

Your splitter is from the receiver out to two subs
Mine is a splitter to a sub for both inputs from one line

To the OP, Here is a Link for the splitter from the receiver out to two subs

Yup, I knew that I needed 1 male and two female on the adapter for dual sub usage.
