Subwoofer settings or connections?

[Gixxerboy]

Hello All, new member here and somewhat new to home audio. Recently, I inherited pretty much a whole new sound system. It includes, Emotiva BasX MR1L processor, Emotiva BasX A3 amplifier, Klipsch RP1400SW subwoofer, another powered klipsch sub, two passive 15 inch American Vocal subs in an enclosure (not sure but it looks like PA speakers to me) and an older klipsch center, left and right speaker system. As of now, i have the 14" sub and the other powered sub connected to a splitter running from the MR1L SW1 sub out and the two 15" subs wired separate to the amplifiers CH1 and CH2 with the signal cable going to the MR1L other sub out SW2. I had them wired in series within the enclosure directly to amp which is where I seemed to get the most out of them, but nowhere near there full potential. I may have the speaker setup wrong in the MR1L, I have it as a 5.2 with a center speaker and 2 subs. I have it set as the MR1L is using its own internal amplifier so that could be the reason there not hitting like they should. I dont have any trims set for any speakers nor am i using the EmoQ as these I am not familiar with and I havent messed with it. Other than that, I dont think I would know what other changes to make to get the most out of this setup. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone. If you want to know about the best websites for writing your essays, then I can recommend you to use this website - https://nоcramming.com/tutoring/rype . I use this site myself, because it is here that I was able to find out about all the best services that can write my essay for me!!!

Nice setup! I'd definitely recommend running EmoQ at least once—helps a lot with balance and getting the subs to blend in. Also double-check that your amp channels are set right and not limited by MR1L settings. Once it’s dialed in, it should really come alive.

Not clear what you have. It is generally a bad idea to wire speakers in series. I have no idea what the impedance of those speakers is. I would be inclined to deep six and retire those for a start.

Your MR1L is a receiver but does have pre-outs to act as processor (and if only one A3 amp, you're just using that for L/R channels so a bit of both receiver and prorcessor). Your two sub pre-outs are apparently adjustable for level/delay so that would affect how you would connect subs of different distance from your listening position. Generally pre-outs are live at all times. How are your subs positioned/connected in detail?
