Dual Receiver Hook-Up?


Recommended Posts

Ok, I recently purchased an HD LCD TV. It has on the back 1 audio input to hook 1 receiver into. In MY audio setup, I have one receiver powering mids, highs and surrounds; and 1 receiver powering the subwoofers. The way I solved this problem with my older TV was to just hook up RCA's with headphone jacks on the end, and plug both of those into a headphone splitter, which took it down to ONE headphone input; which I simply plugged into the TV. This application will not work with the TV I've just purchased. The gist of all this is, is there a legit RCA splitter that will allow me to plug 2 RCA Audio cables coming from 2 receivers, to 1 input on the TV? Are these called "Y Adapters"?!?! Please just fill me in with info and answers please. :]

Is there no outputs on one of the recievers?

I have two receivers in my room and I have all my stuff ran to one reciever and the output to the second one.

Edit: Two "ands" : )

The reason that everything isn't running off of the same receiver is because the sub output on the receiver that powers everything else doesn't give alot of power and it's underpowered for my set-up. Another reason is because the receiver I have for the subs has more fans and alot more power, perfect for pounding my subs. This is also my music set-up, so it get's alot of music as well. But that's beside the point.

I tried running a cable from the sub input on the receiver that powers everything but the subs, to the receiver that powers the sub; BUT there isn't a subwoofer output on the surround receiver, just the usual colored wire inputs.

Well I don't know about hooking the two through each other, but there has to be a y adapter that you need. I'm guessing you need Male into two female kind, I know they have them but mines a double male one female kind.

2 female to 1 male RCA Y-splitter: http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KLA-1M2F

More expensive, but a step up in performance: http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KARSS1M2F

The best Knu has to offer: http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KRY-1M2F

You can probably find them elsewhere for cheaper, but Knu is very popular for it's high-quality products.

You'll have to get one splitter for each pair of RCA's.

wtf is lolcats?

I'd def get a fat hooker if i had to resort to that kinda thing. I feel like they'd be grateful and work harder. Also its more bang for my buck, more real estate for my dollar if you catch my drift. its like the Costco of streetwalkers.

I was hoping for 150 :(.

I was hoping she would let me put it in her butt

Thank you, this is exactly what I needed to know. I'll get them from KnuKoncepts. Now, hooking them up, would I just plug one pair of RCA's to the splitter corresponding with color and just plug it in to the right channel, and then plug the other splitter into the RCA and hook it into the LEFT channel? Will the surround sound be correct? Doing this won't cut any channels will it? If you could provide a make-shift diagram as to how to hook it up, that would be much appreciated. Thanks. :]
