Ok, the more I thought about the "y" connector to daisy chain an in-wall line, the more it began to make sense that you could possibly use the typical "Y" that most use somewhere in the chain as an in-wall application as well. With the common leg presenting at the wall plate for sub duty, the other two legs would serve as an input and output to the next terminal. You would just have to be sure it is well secured at the input and output legs, i.e. solder or heat shrink or both.

I think that would work for most AVR and pre's with a single LFE output. Now if you are addressing a unit with mutiple LFE outputs, you definately would need separate lines for each sub location. That would be a nice problem to have!



I don't understand. Is it really that difficult or inconvenient to run a separate line to each location? Why wouldn't anyone want to run a separate line to each location?


Just a bit more time consuming drilling out all of the wall studs for each separate run. The coax cost certainly isn't the deciding factor since it is relatively cheap. I suppose it is just the principle of the thing... why run 4 or 6 or 8 runs of coax when you could run just one with the "y" connections to make it a series. But then again, you would certainly have more options with the separate runs.
