Thanks Wayne!
Do you have a recommendation on crossover slope? I've been looking at some pro units but there all fixed 24db I did find one that was 18db.
AV amps seem to be 12db on the speaker side and possibly 24db on the subwoofer side?
Obviously something like the mini dsp will give me options.
Just been thinking and looking at my AV amp, seems I could run the flanking subs from the surround/surround back pre outs and it lets you have fronts small with crossover and surrounds large, you can set the appropriate delays and run it in 7 channel stereo mode.
I think this would work for a music only 2 channel setup with flanking subs and distributed subwoofers.
The problem comes with movies and the surround channels are coming from the front, so you would have to either switch the flanking subs off or do some cable jiggling pre film???

I've had best results with low-order slopes. Second is what usually works best for me but I've even run first. I'll run third-order if I must, but that starts to be less effective. Fourth-order and higher are definitely harder to work with.
The balancing act is blending without going too far out-of-band. We want to have gradual fading with plenty of overlap but we don't want either subsystem to be run too far out of its band, e.g. subs run too high or in some cases (like the one you're describing in this thread), mains run too low.
