Thanks for the input Wayne

Still, I think I’d be inclined to use a better quality equalizer. I wouldn’t be too thrilled about having another analog to digital conversion either.

As we're talking only about 450Hz and below, the "A2D" will be no different to the extra A2D on the sub side. What EQ would you suggest?

Probably not a good idea to use the shelving. Let the speaker’s crossover to their job.

I think the penny has dropped! If I introduce a lesser rolloff say -16db from the 450Hz point, it will be added to by the speaker crossover where they overlap! Not a good idea. Can you suggest I way how I could prevent the higher frequencies even getting to the amp? Would say 2 octaves above the 450Hz would be a reasonable area to introduce a sharp shelf filter, round about 1.8kHz? Dunno really.
