Naw, we need to go ahead and nip that little dilemma in the bud right way, otherwise it's going to turn into one of those 'out of mind, out of sight' issues. Not good, and besides it would be way too much weight for carry on anyway, too large to carry in the baggage compartment of most airlines ('cept for cargo type stuff, FedEx, UPS and etc) that fly domestic routes.

Looking forward to visiting with you all!

hi everyone! I have a question on 2 subs. How do you connect 2 to a Receiver? I'm thinking there is a cable that does it but how can the receiver provide enough power to them? Does it give them each half the power or is it full to both? I know, noob question but I don't claim to be a pro! \:\)

The subs have their own amplifiers, so they do not require anything power from the receiver even when your are using regular speaker connections to the sub.

Usually, subs have in-and-outs connectors to daisy chain them.

Most people just use a y-splitter off the back of the sub preout on the receiver. Your not sending power from the receiver, just the audio signal.

Is it better to use a splitter or daisy chain? Or doesn't it matter?

What ever serves your purpose best, there will be no audible differences.

you can daisy chain them from one to the other, or split the signal at the receiver and run two lines.
