Running satellite cab to support FOH?

And an "aha" moment. I was thinking "hey, no phase cancelation with the FOH, since there's no bass in in", not thinking about the two bass cabs canceling each other. (sigh) There's no beating physics.

Here the new layout. The bass will deliver enough onstage, but it's shallow enough that the bass transmission won't really get going until further out.
 
Johnny: Thanks for the input. The audience (smaller than your next one by, oh, 28,000 or so) will appreciate it. And the clips from the new album sound great. Nice work.

the closer it is to the pa speaker, the less cancellation it will suffer. the cancellation comes from the sound arriving at your ears at different times from 2 locations, creating phase issues. give it a shot.
