Most often dual subs should be co-located, or stacked, for bass management.
Use something like this at the sub end of your interconnect run from your AVR.

Hex,
As PT and Tour have said you can split the signal at the receiver or the sub, I have done both and works just fine, just depends on what type of wire/connectors you have.
I originally had my subs front and back in the HT, at the advice I received here years ago I stacked them and have been very pleased with the result, generally corner loading works pretty well.

Use Two Subwoofers-
Using two asymmetrically placed subs will minimize the effects of standing waves in your room, yielding smoother bass response (as well as better dynamic range). But don't run out and buy another sub just yet. Get the sub you have now to sound its best before spending more money. You may be perfectly happy with just one sub once you've tried our suggestions.

I am wondering about this same thing. problem is, I am already using a splitter to run my PSW250. I have the single end of the splitter running into the SUB OUT on my reciever and the dual end of the splitter running into the L and R of the sub. With that said, how would one hook up a second sub with a second splitter? And wouldnt running a second splitter split the signal in half on the reciever. Do I have my sub hooked up correctly using the linelevel inputs with the splitter?
PS I just went back and reread my manaul fo rmy sub and it suggest that I use option 1. option 1 says to connect my 2 mains to the back of the sub. option 2 doesnt apply to my model, option 3 requires an amp and option 4 doesnt apply to my model. whats the deal, I hooked this thing up last year and have had nop problems with it. Do I have it wrong here? and how would I hok up a secong sub?
