I want to hook up my SVS and Polk subwoofers to a single sub preout on the AVR. I haven't been able to find any "Y" cable splitters that were more than a foot long....about 6" after the split. The subs will be about two feet apart so I need more length. I've looked at Monoprice and BlueJean cables websites but couldn't find what I was looking for. Can anyone suggest an online site that might have something that would work? Thanks in advance for any info.

Signal Cable (http://www.signalcable.com) can custom make any length & termination you want, as it's by the foot.

I thought Blue Jeans did the same thing, perhaps you should email them and ask. You could even go DIY if you feel froggy.

Mark,

Why not plug the "Y" into the AVR sub preout and run a cable from each branch of the "Y" to your subs? That way you can place them 2 feet or 20 feet apart.

You can split the "Y" in between a cable and then run the desired lengths to the subs. Although you might have to make a DIY cable.

I second the holy man. Nice and simple.

I thought about doing that, but I have the 35 foot subwoofer cable hidden in a cable "track" that is attached to the baseboard. Also in the track are the speaker wires for the surround speakers. There is no more room for another cable. I have to keep my wife happy and the only acceptable location for the two subs is in the rear of the room behind the loveseat.

I'm going to look at some of the other options suggested here...I'm sure there's a way to do it. I'm new to this...just a little slow to figure out all my options.

Thanks so much, everybody, for the suggestions. I'll "get'r done"!
