Running two subs?

Right now I have a Yamaha YST-SW215, I'm upgrading to a Klipch SUB-10 with the intention of selling the Yamaha, if I can get a decent price for it. I believe my receiver only has one subwoofer output but just had the thought that I could run the rear speakers through the Yamaha and the Klipsch through the sub out.

Is this a far fetched Idea, I've never run the rear speakers through a sub and don't want to compromise the signal to the rears?

Don't do that, just run a RCA Y connector out of your receiver sub pre-out.

Go to the Harmon site and look up there white papers on sub placement.
2 subs is a good way to go for even distribution of bass.

True, two subs might give you more even distribution. But, its extremely easy to get carried away and have the bass drown out the rest of the sound. And if you manage to turn it down low enough so that it doesnt drown out the rest of the sound, then you might not have the proper bass response. Pretty much, if it aint broke, don't fix it. BTW, David id right though, Split the signal from the first subwoofer. The back speakers are designed NOT to get any bass below a certain frequency which isn't low enough for proper bass response.
