You want to run it ALL off the DRPA? hmmm not a very good way to go, the DRPA just doesn't have the ability to run two totally separate mixes.. the 260 can, but all the functions except the GEQ and AFS are tied together...If you were just wanting to control the FOH you need to find oyut what the XOVER point of the subs are and go somewhere below that.. I assume it's 100-120 hz The subs have a built in HPF, so determine what that is and set the DRPA below that to let the subs handle that. I'd suggetst LR24 filters for the LPF and HPF of the subs/tops.

Go to the READ ME BEFORE POSTING section, there is a great wealth of info on how to best use the Driverack.
