Halo C1 and Programmable Outs - Stereo Sub Mixing - Help Needed

[Chris Rein]

I'm about to dabble into the stereo sub mix realm using the programmable outs on the C1. Why? Well, I'm having a bitch of a time with frequency cancellations on my M&K MX-350 subs. Something just wasn't "there" when using the Sub Out and the duplicate sub out on the C1. So, I disconnected the right front sub and recalibrated the system with the left front sub. What a night and day difference! So, after much testing and moving the subs, I have come to the conclusion I am suffering from bass cancellation in the room.

Right now, I'm going to go try using the suggested "Side Subwoofers" setup recommended by Parasound in the C1 manual. Does anyone know, or think they might know, how else to set the subs up so they don't cancel each other out? I thought about running the left sub, say 0-25 Hz and the right sub from 25Hz to 80Hz. Is that possible with the programmable outs? Would I need to use two of the filters? Or, would it be best to say use Channel 9 for 100% LFE and the right channel for %100 on all other channels? BTW, I have a 7.1 setup.

Thanks for your help!

I don't know if Chris ever did this, this was two years ago. But we have had several club members do dual subwoofers, split between halves of the theater or front/rear. You can search for it here in the Club. I've got dual subwoofers set up, but both duplicate the main subwoofer output.

Unless you're using seriously inadequate subwoofers or you own a stadium-sized theater, there's no need for you to have 4 subs. Would create more problems than it would solve, too, with interference between subs. Two is even pushing it for subs--if you can get away with one, you're better off.
