okay I’m going to try a crossover but I definitely have questions on how to set this thing up.
Okay so my list is

Behringer CX2310 Super-X Pro
DBX 223xs or 234xs
Samson S-3

Anyone know when the new DZR / DXS XLF Series comes out?

The crossover is pretty simple. In 2-way mode:
Input - input gain. Set this so your output on your mixer plays nicely with the volume of your speakers (no clipping).
Low cut - cuts extremely low frequencies to protect speakers. Your sub already does this.
Frequency - the frequency at which the crossover is centered. Everything below goes to the sub. Everything above goes to the tops. Set this to 100hz.
Output gains - independent level for each output. You can use this to balance the level of the sub to the tops.

Set everything on left and right the same.

Left in-left main output from the mixer--> crossover
Right in-right main output from the mixer--> crossover
Left low out---> subwoofer input
Left high out---> left top amp channel input
Right low out---> subwoofer input (if the sub has L+R inputs)
Right high out---> right top amp channel input

Any of those will work fine. They're all similar quality with similar features, the Samson's got some extras (phase, limiter, delay) but in this case I think simpler is better.

FWIW, I'm not sure that Samson anything is really good. They are not a big player in the pro audio (or even MI audio) world.

How did we get anything done (successfully) in the 70's and early 80's without this interthingy ?
Don't know about you, but I made a lot of noise, and some good cash....

Same here.

Actually, bar bands in this area are still making the same money as we were back then. $150 a night, 2-3 nights a week, was damn good money when I was a kid. There were also far more venues that featured bands back then. It was a little heartbreaking when the DJs started taking over, cops started handing out DUIs the baby boomers grew up. [/swerve]
