2 subs connected to a 2 channel amp?


To hook up 2 subs to a 2 channel amp, does that mean I need 3 pairs of cables from the left and the right? One pair to the speaker per side and then to each sub?  

That seems like a crap load of cables. 

Has anyone ever done anything like this?

I would love some instructions, if you know of any. 

 

Subs I am looking at only have high level in, not out, FYI. 

IF I’m reading you correctly- you have a pair of speakers, and a pair of subs, one sub dedicated to each speaker.

If so, you need a speaker wire to to each speaker, and a speaker wire to each sub. The sub may have two inputs ( two positive, two negative), but you’ll only be using one set of them. There are usually two high level inputs on the back because often only a single sub is used, and it’s a convenient way to get both left and right signals inputted.

If this is the case, reply back and it’s all pretty straightforward to explain.

Thanks.  Sub isn't dedicated to the speaker necessarily. I just have a bigger room and from what I understand, dual subs help even out response and give you the necessary compression. 

Anyway, amp is a Willsenton r300, arriving tomorrow.  Speakers are klipsch la scala and I'd like to add a couple subs to the mix, too.  Just want to make sure wiring up isn't an issue.
