Are you saying you want to use them both?

Just get a "Y" connector and feed the receiver's LFE input to both LFE inputs on both.

oh wow!...someone re....ummm never mind...well any way i was using a y adapter both behind the reciever and behind both subs..which worked good, but i like to experiment... they are now wired in series one sub for each respective channel... ran wire to left speaker connection behind sub and daisy chained it to the right input level on said sub. they are running better now with more output they are crossed over at around 70.
