    Actually, it’s easier than you might think (and I WILL refrain from commenting on the speakers themselves 😛 ).

    One side go Xone:62 master out to sub and from sub to one fo your RS12As. The other side is mixer master out to RS12A.

    Finished.

    (Sub)Bass is mono and pretty much omnidirectional. You can place it center or somewhere off to the side and just have your speakers where you would normally have them.

    Thanks, I just didn’t know because the master from the mixer was only using a left or right into the sub it would matter,

    But easy enough.

    Thanks vintage,

    I was also thinking, if I did It that way wouldn’t one speaker sound differnt than the one connect to the sub?

    And would it be best to run it as a mono output? Thanks

    Yes, it would sound (slightly) different. The crossover will take out everything under (usually) 125Hz, sometimes as low as 75Hz, from the signal going to the full range speaker, freeing it up to spend more energy in the higher frequencies. You could opt for mono out, in which case you’d go mixer -> sub -> full range 1 -> full range 2.

    Personally I’d just keep it stereo and have the sub on the side with the full range that is hooked up to it. That way the full range away from the sub will take up some of the bass to even out the spread. But with low and sub low it isn’t all that exciting and nobody will notice I am guessing.

    The alternative would be to get a separate active crossover but that is money, extra gear, extra cabling and setting things up correctly. I wouldn’t bother.
