Sorry if this is too noob a question. But I've always wondered how to connect 2 subs to a standard a/v receiver (Pioneer 1014) - like Raven Manor does.

You can use a Y-splitter. That way you can run both subs off the one sub out RCA.

Use a y splitter with 1 male and 2 female ends, plug the male into the sub output on your receiver. Then plug both sub lines into the female sides.

Just run another cable from your first subs "line out" to the second subs "line in".

Cool...Thanks! Is mix and matching subs a bad thing? I don't think HSU will ship all the way to Indonesia! I'm thinking of just using whatever's available here....

It's not ideal, but can be done. With two subs location and set-up is critical. It may take awhile to dial in, so be patient with it. Asymmetrical placement is usually best. Also, having an adjustable phase dial is helpful in fine tuning.
