Even without the RCA out, you can get the same effect, by placing a Y at the end of the cable run. One leg goes into the sub, and the other continues on to the next sub. You're just moving the Y from inside the sub to outside.

So yeah, if you have two subs which are nearer to each other, than the receiver, use a Y at the end of the cable run from the receiver. If both are closer to the receiver than each other, place the Y at the receiver end, and run two cables.

And now for a little WHINE and some cheese

This is a frustrating hobby some times!

This morning, got up, went to watch some news before starting to get ready for work ........BUT NO...... The Harmony 900 remote won't light up, reset the battery, nada ... reset battery again nada ..... put it in charger, nada ...... shook the SH*T out of it, smacked it a few times, reset the battery again, nada, put it in the charger and something on the screen, but nothing good..... Plugged it into my notebook "USB device not recognized"
back on charger, nothing, left it and went to work.

Got to work, and started realizing, all my gear is across the house in the rack, all these new axiom speakers, the brand new day old EP500, and I can't do my sub crawl and enjoy the Axioms with some music and movies this weekend.....

Well that won't do...Need an RF remote NOW!,damn another $350.00 after I just bought all these axioms.

So go online at work and order a Harmony 1100 w/Sat delivery (the RF ranges sucks on the 900, and I thought I'd try something new), figuring I'll RMA the 900 and Logitech will send me a new 900 in a couple of weeks (they were real good about replacing my SqueezeBox Duet controller when it went south after a firmware/sodtware update)and I'll make up my mind which I like better the 900 or 1100 or both.

So all is well except for the unexpected $350.00

Come home this afternoon, check the 900, nada, well at least I didn't waste the $350.00...... Oh well, reset the battery ...ONE MORE TIME! And the SOB powers on and is working fine!

Now I'll get the 1100, and instead of sending it back, I'll keep wondering if I'll like it better than the 900 and I'll have to open the box and program the thing! And that will probably make me put off the QS8s for another month, maybe.

Did I say hobby, maybe I'm really just into punishing myself

I'm thinking about getting the 1100. I'd like to know how you like that one.

Oops! (face red). Thanks, all. I better make another trip up to Axiom and check out the new amps in the subs.

I got it and been using it a while, love it but still not sure.
I love everything, except lots of two handed, it's just different than a "regular" remote. Maybe it will just take sopme getting use to it.

I've stopped using the 900 completely for right now, to get used to the 1100.

I'll keep ya posted
