Please help!--2 subwoofer connection

[halobelo]

Currently I have my B&W PV1 hooked up to a RSX 1065 (Preout SUB 1) via the Coax sub cable for home theater use.
I just bought a second PV1 and wish to hook it up to my RSX 1065.
Should i use the connection Preout SUB 2 (on th RSX 1065) via Coax sub cable or is there a better solution?
(Front -- XT4, Center X-Series B&W, Rear--XT2).

I can't imagine why not - if you've got two sub pre-outs I'd think that would be the way to go.

...or Y-cable + connect both PV1 on 1x Preout SUB (1)?

can they be daisy chained?

Hello,

i dont know what you mean with daisy chained...
but i think there is a third option---PV1 Line In --to RSX SUB Preout (1)---and then connect Line Out PV1 to Line in of the second PV1...what would you suggest?

[RobP]

daisy chained would be where you can connect the subs together if they have both an input and output on the back, thus creating a chain off of one sub out line.

[RobP]

just checked the B&W website and it shows that the sub does have a line out, so you should be able to daisy chain them.

So it would be Sub out on the RSX to line in on the 1st PV1, then line out from 1St PV1 to second PV1's line in.

[halobelo]

do you suggest that this kind of connection is better than connecting every of the both subs to one preout of the amplifier?

I have two PV1 in my system. I suggest you use the Sub2 out in the RSX1065 and play with the settings (crossover, volumn, L vs. R, etc.) in the 1065 to maintain stereo seperation.

The other way is to use the telephone wires that come with the PV1 and connect them to the amplifier (not the processor). In this scenario, you adjust the settings on the PV1.

The two methods should sound identical if properly calibrated. However, I think it is much easier to use the Co-ax connection and make the adjustment on the processor.

Ive used a RCA splitter.

Hard 1 male-2 female, plugs into my reciever LFE out and splits to 2 outputs. Then run a sub cable to each sub.

Thats just me.
