[QUOTE="Brian jojade, post: 88891, member: 211"] Re: Aux feed subs? O.K, that sounds like a reasonable explanation. Still, if you have a HPF set at 120hz, and your crossover point is at 80 hz, that's going to be a 20db reduction in signal. The stage wash that the mic is picking up is probably going to be 20db down or more from the signal you are trying to pick up, unless you are using distant micing, or have extremely poor mic placement. So that means a 40db drop in sound compared to what you're working with. That's very little energy that would be going to the sub, even at rock and roll volumes. When I've tried aux fed subs, I've heard very little real difference in the way it sounds. If you are running aux fed subs, you can test to see what the difference is by turning on your high pass filters, and then also turning on the aux for that channel. [/QUOTE]
