I'm going to be running an interesting experiment on my son-in-law's system

My son-in-law has my old Yamaha RX-V1800 which is a 7.1 receiver so I purchased a splitter so he can connect two subs to the AVR. I'm guessing that I will lose some output signal strength due to the split so I will compensate with the volume dials on the subs. It will be an interesting exercise to see if I can integrate two subs, a PSB Subsonic 5 (10" dual ported) and an Energy XL-S8 (8" single ported) into a PSB Alpha system without a MiniDSP . I will be using REW to measure the response. The only tool I have for integration other than measuring the results is sub location.
 
I think you'll be able to do it as long as you keep the subs in relatively close proximity (i.e., in the front of the room or rear of the room). That said, I'm curious to see how you fair!
