Two Subwoofers Connection Advice
I have a Marantz AV8805-A Processor and Two Velodyne Optimum 12 Subs. Marantz has two single output jacks - one for Sub #1 and one for Sub #2. If I am reading correctly I believe Velodyne recommends, for better signal, to split each outgoing interconnect to connect to both Left and Right RCA Line Level inputs on each subwoofer. Anybody have advice on this matter and does this sound correct?

I looked in your manuals, and this is what Marantz says about subs connections.
The manual feels like it is written for children :(
Either way, it looks like your sub outputs are mono. Your subs have a built in crossover that lets you connect the amp to the sub, and use the high-pass filter to send signal to the speakers (stereo subs).
So you have a ton of flexibility on hook up. If you have speakers with drivers under 10", I would try to use stereo subs positioned near the speakers. If you have speakers with 10" or greater drivers, I would try to position the subs in 2 nulls in your room and run them mono using the sub output from the amp.

I have a Dayton Audio plate amp that has the same Y cable suggestion. I never tried it because I ran a single sub for 23 years using two ICs to LR inputs. The amp died and I replaced it 1 1/2 years ago and now it is malfunctioning anew and have to send it back under warranty. The fun never stops. I have since moved it to my bedroom and use the single LFE connection from my KEF LSX IIs thanks to excellent advice from a SVS tech who also owns KEF and was helping me set up my new SVS dual subs in my main system. Long story short: I would heed Velodynes instruction until you contact them.
