We are a 4 piece oldies band, and we are planning to add a subwoofer to our PA.  Our current main speakers are EV ZLX15P's.  Because of cost and space, we are looking to add a single EV ELX18P.  My question is about set up and placement. 


We haven't purchased the ELX18P yet, but I did look up the manual.  According the the manual, I would run a line from my mixer to the sub, then on to the main.  So one side of the stage would have a main only, while the other side would have a main-sub.   My understanding would be that the main (ZLX15P) would be set to accept a subwoofer while the other main would not.  If I put the subwoofer in a stacked configuration with the main, would it create a situation where there would be an "overload" of bass to that side of the stage?  And if I placed the subwoofer in the middle, would it cause a "underload" (my new word) to the main it's hooked up with, as the bass signal would be deleted by the DSP? 


I hope this makes sense.  I just don't want to get in a situation of having bad sound.  The manuals didn't address using a single sub.
