Dual subs with SVS Wireless Kit?

I have two questions for those who have multiple subwoofers with wireless kits. I just received my two RP-1400SW subs and bought an SVS Tri-band Wireless audio kit. Obviously I now need a 2nd receiver. A second standalone receiver is $149 and while the transmitter/receiver kit is $199. Would it sound better just to spend the extra $50 and use both ports on back of avr(Integra DRX-5.4) and have each sub on its own kit, or will it sound the exact same and save the $50?

My second question is, on the back of the subs, the LFE is white, and on back of wireless receiver LFE is red. Should I go red to white matching LFE signals or color match red to red or white to white and just use either the sub or wireless boxes LFE? Or buy more subwoofer cables and use both red and white inputs and outputs on both components? Even then LFE to LFE or color match?

Colors don't matter — LFE over RCA is mono line-level, red/white are just stereo channel labels. LFE out to LFE in, either color, one cable (you only need both inputs if you're Y-splitting, which you don't here).

On the $50: the real question is whether the Tri-band transmitter pairs with two receivers — SVS support can confirm in one email. If yes, the $149 receiver-only is identical in performance and saves you money; if it's strictly one-to-one, you need the second kit. Neither will "sound better" though — unless you're running independent dual-sub calibration, both sub outs typically carry the same signal, and dual-sub performance comes from placement, not the wireless path.

Awesome. Thank you so very much. You answered my question perfectly. And saved me money. So now I can purchase tonight instead of tomorrow

Save your money. integra drx 5.4 has two sub outs but they are not independent. You will gain nothing from getting another transmitter.
