If you're familiar with the concept of mixing aux fed subs on an analog console, then the first section might be all you need. It explains how to setup the console for mixing on Aux fed subs, and once you have that complete, everything else should be the same for you. Although, parts two and three might make for a good refresher.

If you're wanting to try aux fed subs and have no experience with the concept, then you'll probably find all 3 sections informative. The second section explains various system interconnect issues , for your amps and speakers. Also I address some differences between how you would do this on a Behringer X32 / M32 versus some limitations with the X-Air series.
