Hi,
I came across the following thread and it says that connecting to both (left and right) input ports on a subwoofer will increase the bass output by 3db to 10db.
A Guide to Bass Management (Part I) - Blu-ray Forum
Extract from the above link
Most AV receivers come with a single sub output while most powered subwoofers come equipped with left & right inputs. By using a subwoofer Y cable for both the left and right subwoofer input, you can increase the bass output of your subwoofer by about 3dB.

Is this true? anybody tried and found improvement
If there is a improvement I would like to try the same (presently i have connected subwoofer-out on my AVR to left in on the subwoofer).
I have two options
Option 1) I can buy a Y cable and connect the female end to end of the existing Cable and connect two male ends of Y cable to PB12-plus Left and right inputs
Option 2) I can buy one more RCA cable connect one end to second subwoofer output on my Onkyo 707 AVR and connect other end to RIGHT LINE IN on PB12-Plus
Note: Onkyo 707 has got two subwoofer (LFE) output ports and both ports output the same LFE sound.
Any suggestions
