Mono mid bass?

Read up that most music below 250Hz is mixed in mono, so if running midbass alone should these also be run in mono?

I have 1 channel going spare on my amp so wondered if I built a little box and put a small midbass in it or wired my doors in series can I run these successfully in mono if kept under 250Hz?

Obviously would have to run mids above this frequency in stereo :)

My sub is run in mono and crossed at 100Hz fine (using ErinH method to increase midbass by crossing the sub higher).

Just IMO, but I wouldn't go mono that high with midbass. Tom and snare drums are usually mixed stereo and much of their body is in that 100hz-250hz range. A good example of this is the Swing Kids movie version of Sing Sing Sing. The floor tom is panned pretty far right and you can definitely hear/feel the midbass frequencies coming from that side

In the corsa I cross over my midbass at 160 (for a few reasons) and don’t get any reduced stereo effect and excellent stereo with panned drums on the likes of Phil Collins tracks for example

I wouldn't unless you're just using a midbass to bridge a small gap between the sub and a midrange that can play down into the 100's.

May try it then - only got 1 spare channel so might test it out.

If there’s two drivers I would always run different delays otherwise they will always be out of time at any given freq, for my two I should have said they are mono, but timed differently off two channels of dsp

if I had one channel left over I would do a front sub if anything I reckon

Of course - still need to TA them even if mono.

I find that the difference between a great car and really great car is in the management of the crossover region, where the rolloff is still a major contributor of the overall sound of the system. In other words, 250Hz is 250 Hz, but not like it's a brick wall. with your standard 12 dB crossover, it's only 12 dB down at 500 Hz which is just 10 clicks of a typical volume knob. I expect you to have tons of stereo material bleed through the midbass unless you have super low crossover points and steep filters.
