For those running dual subs, how do you have them connected?

Longer I have the Anthem STR integrated, the more I appreciate how configurable it is. Dual sub outs, DSP, room correction (via ARC genesis) and so forth, all in one box. I always enjoy looking at other options. What units, be they a pre amp por integrated 2ch, have dual sub outs, DSP and room correction? For me, those are must haves. The rest is somewhat negoatiable in terms of number of boxes, costs, etc.
 
No one has a list? It appears the Eversolo a10 has dual sub outs, DSP, room correction.
 
I use four identical passive subs powered by two Crown K1 power amps. The K1s have a feature where you can have one Channel in and duplicate that on the other channel.

My previous emotiva xmc-1 prepro had dual sub outs. So one sub out to one K1 and the other sub out to the other K1.

My current Bryston sp3 prepro only has one sub out so I use an xlr Y connector to the two K1's.

At some point I'll get a mini dsp which can make things easier if I want to run a balanced cable to each channel of the the two K1's.

Would you use the mini DSP as pre amp?

I did get a minidsp flex balanced. Haven't got around to applying the filters for my setup. I have no intention using it as a preamp since I have multiple input sources (Oppo for video and another input for audio, Satellite receiver, PC, Amazon FireBox etc). Plus the version (Flex) I have is 2 analog channels in and 4 analog channels out and not the 8 ch in version.

If i ever do another system would likely use actives and MiniDSP with dual subs.
 
Added a 4 way DSP to 2 outputs on my 8 channel DSP preamp, so I have full individual control of every driver in my 3 way active mains and all 4 subwoofers.
 
Use a Cinema 40 with 3 subs, 5db house curve under 100 hz.
Souds good for movies and music
