It is not lumped into one channel.

Btw, you were better off before you made this last reply as it really shows your ignorance. If the subs are placed correctly and equalized correctly, one channel or multiple channels would both sound good and without localization.

You are trying to say that all subs coming from one single output will make it so that there is no sub localization? Wow, you just solved the audio worlds biggest problem. You're a genius!

You should take the "We" out of your statement for the people that would not want to be included into it.

No, you've lost low frequency directionality content in the 5/7 channels.
No matter how good you setup your subs.
You need to take a step back and at least appreciate the argument because I perfectly respect the argument for subs due to optimal placement. But you gain a whole bunch of other issues.

That's the debate. It's a seperate debate on how well you can set up 4 mono subs.

Unless I misunderstood how you have ADA and QSC setup.

If you ran 7 Large and LFE into QSC and the QSC did the crossovers and kept channels seperate so that you have a Left Front Main Sub, Right Front Main Sub, Center Sub (From those channels and kept seperate and Subs located NEAR those speakers yeah that will work and is doing basically what I suggested a while back). My understand is you are NOT doing that when you said ADA is crossed over at 80hz. I assume that was to one channel. But if the ADA Natively supports 4 subs. Then yeah, great, ADA was a better match. Why you'd need a QSC then I don't understand. But my understand is your using the ADA the same way you used 861. Cross over Preamp at 80hz and then hand off all channels to QSC. If your running everything through QSC I don't understand why you'd have any crossover in Preamp. Run all Large and LFE and let QSC do everything. I don't know how advanced QSC is and how it keeps these channels seperate or not. But you could have done the same with Meridian. It does not does like that given the trickles of bits of information. But you said you crossover Preamp at 80hz. Right there by doing that direction low frequency content is lost for good.
