How do I add 3 subwoofers to a one line out

[Scott Tex]

Absolutely! I eventually will probably go with 4 ..
Using more than one subwoofer can help to even out room modes, as well as increase levels and headroom, simply more accurate with out over heating & stress.

Thank you for the link Bouxy! Good info ..
I am probably going to go with MiniDSP amplification and processing.

I found running two subs set up as below integrates the subs in a way it's impossible to tell it's not just two large speaker systems. I've been using subs for 30yrs and every set-up is different, if using only one sub placement for proper integration becomes more difficult and time consuming but can still be achieved. Looking forward to your after installation comments.

Here's an example of daisy chained sub plate amps. Line out RCA's from one sub amp to line in RCA's of the other. You could easily add a third.

Using external sub plate amps offers several advantages and one is they allow using short RCA cables to daisy chain.

Although these are bass H-frames I do the same with my subs.

I use two of these kits with external plate amps. Very easy to glue together and since the plates aren't internal there's no cutting of the enclosure.

Very nice set up guys!
Is anyone familiar with utilizing Minidsp products?
I am thinking of going with 2 of their plate amps to power each of the 4 subs with 315 watts each and the ability to really dial in the subs frequency response and extend the lower end a bit as well as all frequency room correction.

Those are no doubt excellent.

There are less expensive options including Yung SD300 watt plate amps for a little over $100 each and electronic crossovers with sub controls/outputs and some with digital processing.
