Not in love with my system yet. Help!


I've upgraded my system quite a bit over the last couple of months and I received the components separately due to shipping delays. I got my Parasound Integrated first and all hooked up. It made quite an improvement. I received my B&W 606 S2's a week later. Happy but knew the arrival of the subwoofers I bought would really help make them shine. I received the first of 2 REL t7i subs and hooked it up as directed and the improvement in sound was astounding so I was ecstatic about the thought of getting the second which was a day later. That's where I ran into issues. I have a Denon receiver which handles the HT side of things. My mains are run through the integrated of course and the only source directly connected to the integrated is a Bluesound Node. I have been unable to integrate the subs for music only when I try with both. I can run Audysey and it did an amazing job for my HT but that doesn't do a thing for me as far as stereo. I have bought a UMIK1 and downloaded REW but know they aren't going to give me any way to correct anything. All of my interconnects are unbalanced (RCA) so not sure which unit I should get to help me along. I have looked into miniDSP but think it only has balanced in and outs. I'd like to keep cost as low as possible as wife is on warpath. What unit do I need to get? I get pretty lost in the forums sometimes sorting everything out so forgive me please for asking to shorten my time to get to my goal and going over things that have probably been addressed before. Much thanks!

Hello,
first make sure the second sub works ok but using it where your first sub was. Next you should hook up your surround receiver to the subs using the RCA out/s or add a splitter if needed. Next, your T7i came with speaking cables that hook directly to the amp speaker binding posts. Call parasound and ask which ends from the speaking to use. ( when you have a linear balanced amp you don’t hook up the black or negative wire) last but bot least look up sub crawl. The T7is are active forward firing with passive down firing. The bass waves travel far. Like 50 ft. You need to Google sub crawl to figure out the best positions for each of the subs. A teaspoon of sugar is good a pound is too sweet. Same with subs. If you can hear where they are turn down the level or the crossover or both. Topically they tell you the knobs start at the 10 o’clock possible. Two are better than one once you adjust/ position them correctly. 
Hello,
I say just get a female to female adapter and add another rca run. Placement is very important. You can extend the speakon cable since it is just a signal. Just so you understand I put one sub on each side of the left and rt speaker to add or enhance the sound of my music. I then just added the RCA from the home theater amp.  You can get another sub just for home theater like I did. Like a Hsu. Get ported so you can really shake the room if that’s your thing.
