Dual sub outs connection to ONE sub


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

More curious than anything. Say you have sub out 1 and 2 on your receiver, meant for a dual subwoofer setup. Is it going to hurt hooking up a single sub to both of those outputs meaning the left and right input on the sub for a better signal? In anyway is the 5.2 setup stereo bass? Both the sub 1 and 2 outputs should be exactly the same no? I know, use a Y splitter, but like I said, just curious.

the sub output signal is generally mono anyway :shrug:

I believe the two channels are there so you don't have to have a y-splitter . If one sub I would run channel 1. If two than channel 1 & 2. If there were separate channels with different playback than you wouldn't want to run both to one mono sub. I assume 5.2 would be running different frequencies and volumes through two different subs (dual sub setup)Does that make sense? Also I figure two more better, a more enveloping sound, if you have the room

do each of the outputs actually send signal at the same time? I had a 7.2 receiver with 2 sub outs and #2 would only work if i was wiring to include a 2.1 setup in addition to the 5.1. I tried to do a 5.2 setup with 2 separate powered subs and only one gave output. both were in fine working order.

Hmm, ya that sounds like the receiver itself or some sort of setting. I've never heard of a setting like that though as mine just has subwoofer on or off, which I'm guessing turns both outputs on or off.

More or less confirmed what I was thinking though. Mono signal, just wondering if they are separate signals or just 1 signal split on the board, probably the latter.
