I have two subs, So what I thought I could do, was I took the input from my reciever, split it into two. and hooked it up to to two subs, Now one of the subs got interferance and just put out noise. I flipped the connections and the same sub still played nothing but feedback.

Is it possible to hook up two subs by splitting the input?

Yes, you can connect two subs by splitting the receiver’s sub out. People do it all the time. Not having more detail, it sounds like the sub in question is bad.

Here is what I cant figure out.

If i take the single line and try it on both subs they both work.

If i split it the new sub doesnt. if I switch the split connection from sub a to sub b the new sub still doesnt work.

But it works fine without the rca split on it.

Is it maybe not getting a big enough signal ?

Maybe you could try daisy chaining the subs if one of your subs as a line out.

Reciever -->(line in) sub A (line out) --> (line in) sub B

Possibly a BAD Y-cable or one of the sub cables....

First place to check if both subs work wihout the Y.....

Ok got it fixed. was a bad cable. I went and bought a monster y cable, works great =)

It sounds so much better with two subs.

Thanks everyone.
