What is aux fed sub?
The primary idea behind aux-fed subs is as a way of removing this unwanted low frequency energy from the subwoofers completely, applying signals only with relevant information in order to get a cleaner sub-bass output with minimal power wastage and maximum headroom resulting in a punchier mix.
Can you use AUX for subwoofer?
For many years, sound engineers have used Aux Fed Subwoofers in their systems. By only sending instruments that need to be in the subs, to those subs, you eliminate the need to EQ alot of the subharmonic frequencies out of the vocals and instruments that don’t have subharmonic frequencies to begin with.
Does subwoofer need crossover?

How to mix subs on an Aux-fed sub system?
When mixing on an aux-fed sub system, you should always be mindful of the crossover frequency between the main system and subs. This will have a bearing on what sources are required in the subs; the higher the crossover frequency, the more sources will need to be applied. Just like when dialling in high-pass filters, this is a job for the ears!
Can I use a fixed level bus for a sub feed?
A sub feed does not necessarily have to be driven from an auxiliary; alternatively a fixed level bus such as an audio group or centre bus which track the input channel fader but do not have individual level controls of their own can be used.
What happens to the sub feed when I compress the audio?
This means that if you pull down the level of the audio group master, the sub feed is unaffected. It also means that if you compress the audio group, the sub feed will be unprocessed resulting in a varying sub level relative to the mid/high level depending on the dynamics of the source.
