If you need something louder & crisper you can use
some active sub cabinets and the crossover filters
which are built into the CX-A cabinets.
some active sub cabinets and the crossover filters
which are built into the CX-A cabinets.
These crossover filters allow you to cut most of the
vocals from the sub speakers (which never sounds

There is little stereo information at bass frequencies
so it is quite normal to `mono’ the bass, if you have
no stereo bass in your system you could lose the
optional line out connection from one of the CX12-A
/ CX15-A speakers.
