How cheap can you go and still be happy with the sound?
I think you would be surprised at the incredible systems that some people can put together at a reasonable price.  "Incredible" and "reasonable" are both relative terms.

I need an aspirin... @thecarpathian, It’s really not that complex, and I guess I just did a poor job of describing it. My fault. Instead of the speaker wires going from the amp to the L & R speakers, instead the speaker wires goes to the ... 
How cheap can you go and still be happy with the sound?
The price of your equipment bears little relationship to the sound it may produce That has not been my experience(s).

Wouldn't you just run the speaker wires from the amp to the inputs of subwoofer 1, then run speaker wires from the subwoofer 1 outputs to the inputs of subwoofer 2. Then run speaker wires from the outputs of subwoofer 2 to your speakers?   @ca...

And overall, the "sound chaos" I sometimes had when I set the frequency on the sub too high is gone. . . . hmmmm.  Before you were using the speaker wire from amp out to sub and then speaker wire out to mains mode before, right?  So maybe that ... 
If A.I. took the place of musicians, would you listen to it?
No.  I would not listen to it.

It does sound "thinner" maybe because I am keeping the low frequency from the speakers and I should dial it down. I am assuming from this comment above that you are using speaker level input at this time, and if the way I interpreted that quote...

Y splitters hook 2 sets of drivers in parallel, which halves the inductance. So the amp current doubles going into the low impedene load and it trips. You are lucky your amp has a breaker and does’t just fail from the high current. Never hook 2 ...

Okay, that’s as described previously and what i was thinking and looks like pic 2 of your picture post (except that you didn’t have the speakers in that diagram):: speaker wire out of L speaker post in amp into L sub and speaker wire out of L sub...

. . . sorry about this, but one last thing: I just did some cursory searches, and apparently it was "subliminal messaging" related to coke (the cola kind) and popcorn that may or may not have been successfully done back in ’57 to get people at the...

 We are in this hobby because we look for the perfect sound. . . . nope; I came to realize long ago that this achievement would be way beyond my capabilities.  But there are nights and/or afternoons that I am quite pleased with what my system d... 
Enjoying "Affordable" Equipment
I guess "affordable" is another relative term.
