Good way to connect 2 subs?

I have an integrated amplifier with a pair of pre outs (right and left). I have a right and left sub connected to these pre outs.

I use 2 Monster Y connectors to accomplish this.

The 2 Y's are 1 male to 2 females.

The female rca's of each Y are connected to the rca cable that connects to each sub.

Is this a good config? Or, is it compromising the bass performance of the subs? Would running a single rca cable from the right pre out to right sub and a single rca cable from the left pre out to the left sub be a better config or make no differce?

Is it possible that my current sub config could be causing the ground loop in my setup? Thanks

You only need one RCA to each sub since one sub is playing the right channel and the other the left channel. It sounds like you're sending a stereo signal to each sub, which is redundant with two subs.

In other words, you don't need the Y connectors.
