Subwoofer Connection

[shel50]

Dear All,
I'm currently running dual B&W subs from my integrated amp-line level.
However-since my amp has only 1 "sub out" im using a Y splitter--
It of course works but i'm not getting "Stereo Sub" so to speak but mono on the subs
It sounds fine frankly-just curious if stereo sub would make a huge sonic difference.

I really love the amp and dont feel like spending more cash on another amp
to accomodate the sub

Any thoughts?

You answered your own question. Based on this statement I would say keep what you have and enjoy.

One thought it’s better to use the speaker putout if the amp with an attenuator
My reason is this amps / speakers have an effective sound so if we use this as the sub input we have a live source to feed the subs. I’ll bet if you try this you will notice a better cohesive integration

The frequency range for location clues is above the subwoofer range. I have run stereo subs and are now using mono with no significant difference so I would not worry about it. Typically the LFE is mono anyway so??
