If you choose to do this you should stagger the frequencies, (i.e., 120 Hz subwoofer, 80 Hz processor) for best results. Note: If not using an external crossover, you should use the subwoofer’s built-in crossover for optimal performance. When using a single RCA sub out from the processor, it does n
