Left and right subwoofers with integrated

Just wanted to get some feedback regarding connecting two subwoofers to my integrated amplifier. The amp is a Musical Fidelity M6si and the subs are SVS SB 2000's. The Musical Fidelity has a single pre out. My question is whether there is any advantage to having both left and right channels going to each of the subs via dual Y-adaptors?I am not setting the subs up as distinct left and right subs, but will have one to the right of the front right speaker and the second sub will be diagonal from it in the back left corner of the room. Placement is as per SVS's advice, along with limited options in a small room.

Start low (50-80 max) and increase until it booms and back off a bit, (50-80). The "Gain’ at the 11-12 o clock position. Reading the book is alway a good idea. Less is better, not more, when it comes to bass.

Though 10-100 hz is NOT directional, 80-300 IS.  There is a left and right channel of BASS. NO they are not recorded the same on the left and right channels, IT DOES make a difference whether you hook them up backwards, and or only use one channel. ALL the bass is not on one channel.  You may have kettle drums on the left and a double bass on the right. Depends on the people that made the recording, I would separate the two.

I use MB Columns, 100-300 hz, VERY stereo.. 48-74" tall. Changes the whole way thing sound.. Took most of the little ripples out of the neighbors swimming pool. No kidding.. Wife’s not yelling turn down the music or BASS. I turned OFF two of my 300 lb bass bins, I use 1-3 smaller bass units, full DSP, depends on the music.

BUT I can get serious...Waves in the neighbors pool!!!
