Dual subs on AMP, settings question?

Hi,

Running dual subs (one Gen 3 and one Gen 4), and noticed in the app it gives me only one control for both subs. Meaning…..the crossover setting is there only once, and the phase setting is there only once.

So...why wouldnt I be given the ability to set crossovers differently? and are both subs phased the same? wouldnt you want to have the phased opposite for best impact?

I am no expert, and am open to all feedback.

Thinking I might add a second AMP so I can control my second sub the way I want. Does that make sense?

TIA

Moderator edit: Changed “One Gen 3 and one Sub 4” to “one Gen 3 and one Gen 4” for clarity.

I would imagine it’s because there’s only one subwoofer signal in a 5.1 system regardless of how many subwoofers you connect, so any digital crossover and/or phase adjustment would apply to both.

Actually, I do have a TV connected to the HDMI. Reason being, on occasion I want to listen to a sporting event or a televised concert on my two channel system.

I don't have any surrounds connected, so definitely not a home theater scenario, but it sounds like we have finally arrived on the same page. Thanks a lot for the feedback and information.👍

Actually, I will double check tonight if I my AMP is connected via HDMI EARC to my TV.

I may have ditched that connection and instead just used the grouping feature to achieve the task of TV sound over the AMP 2 channel set up.

Okay so I checked the back of my amp, and it does not have an HDMI connected, and it was more than happy to allow two subs, a Gen 3 and a Sub 4. So I understand the amp might be a home theater product, but it does not require, at least at the moment an HDMI connection.
