Subs are run on an aux send so they're independent of the main mix level. They have their own processing which works in similar fashion.

Do you matrix fed speakers have their own processor?
So the Stereo mix is fed into a number of matrices.
Two for LR - these are fed into the processor. The processor has four outputs. Each array has five units and we split top three and bottom two as the "throw" is different. I am not actually sure how the subs are fed - possibly a split from the matrix LR.
Other speakers are for fills and are combined LR and are run off other matrices direct to the amps.

So maybe I should tweak the processor for the main LRs .
So on the fills where there is no processor, maybe I should leave the amps open and pull the matrices faders back.

I really need to check how the subs are fed before I do anything. But I am 100% sure they are not fed by an aux.
