    EQ'ing Sub that is being fed true L+R

    So I have my DSP sending a true left and right to my mono amp for my sub. Lets say I use REW and determine I need to cut 3db at 48Hz(ignore Q bc it doesnt matter).

    Do I cut 3dB on both the L and R input? Or do I split that value across the 2 inputs. So 1.5dB cut on L and 1.5dB cut on the R. Having a hard time wrapping my head around that.

    3db on both left and right inputs, Is the amp a mono? If not your not doing yourself any favours by feeding left and right independently

    Yes it’s a mono amp

    I don’t know if I made it clear enough, but I am not doing L+R in the DSP. The left signal is being sent to the L input of the amp. The R signal is being sent to the right input of the amp. So if there was a song, in which bass was only on the left side, only the left input of the mono amp would be getting a signal

    I know what you meant, the end result is identical whichever way with a mono amplifier, my answer is the same

    you won’t have stereo bass below 80hz though so it’s pointless, so it in the dsp or even better use splitters so you drive both inputs of the amp with identical signals and have one level control

    In your dsp, if you are using say channel 7 for left signal to sub and channel 8 for right signal to sub, link these two channels together. That way whatever you do to one, you do to the other automatically.

    You should mix that in the dsp to L+R mono and use 1 dsp output and an rca Y-adapter or use 2 dsp outputs (with the same L+R mono signal).

    Amp rack is already made. But it really doesnt matter. Its the same thing. Just mixed mono in the amp instead of DSP
