Hi, I have just started setting up my HT room and using 2 subwoofer for the first time. What is the best way when using 2 subwoofers when you only have one LFE output on the AVR/PrePro? At the moment I am using an Y splitter on the LFE output feeding into both subwoofers. What is the best (starting) position? At the moment I have placed them behind the Front speakers with a 1 : 1.3 ratio from the back : side wall. What is the best approach for system integration. Is there a different approach between 2 and multi channel integration? At the moment I have "integrated" the subwoofers by ear into a 2 channel setup first, using level, phase and a 40Hz crossover setting on the subwoofers themselve. My front speakers are using 10" active drivers up to 350Hz and go down to 29Hz -3dB. After my first satisfying tweaks I adjusted the LFE level in the PrePro to match 75dB using a -40dBFS test signal from disc. I do use the option to send LFE signals to both front speakers and LFE channel since the subwoofer cut off frequency is set to 40Hz to integrate with the (2 channel) front speakers.
