I have a FLX10, and normally I have my Low EQ frequency (using `equalizerLowFrequency`) set at 80, but sometimes I need a more aggressive filter, so I'd change this setting to something like 300 or so, but changing them back and forth, even through a pad key, is a bit clunky and prone to mistakes.
To resolve this I'd like to have 2 controls for the low EQ. The default one at 80 and a second one at 300. Ideally I'd like this second control to be the Filter knobs of decks 2 and 4. Currently I am using the Stems mode in the Advanced EQ, so these 2 control the Bass.
How could I achieve this? Would mapping these to the Filter controls affect the Stems mode (or viceversa)?

Alternatively, is it possible to control the frequency through the adjacent's channel LOW_EQ dial? Preferably through the SHIFT key so as to not forsake the stems control. It'd be great if each deck could have their own frequency, but otherwise controlling the global equalizerLowFrequency value would be fine if the rest is not possible. :/

You can't have 2 different knobs controlling different EQ LOW range.
What you can have, is a second knob to control the range (cut point) of the EQ LOW eq. In other words, a knob to control equalizerLowFrequency setting. Of course, this setting is global, and not per deck.
Finally you need to keep in mind that changing the equalizerLowFrequency setting also affects the EQ MID knob as it changes it's range too.
This example should work to set a range between 80 and 240 Hz:
param_multiply 160 & param_add 80 & param_cast integer & setting 'equalizerLowFrequency'

well you could have 2 dials
setting equalizerLowFrequency 80 & eq_low
setting equalizerLowFrequency 300 & eq_low
setting equalizerLowFrequency 80 & eq_low
setting equalizerLowFrequency 300 & eq_low

If you want to use both at the same time you could also use an equalizer/high pass filter effect and map that to the second knob.

I'll give that a shot.
How do you target a specific deck's EQ_LOW dial? Whenever I search I only find one that seems to control ALL of them, not a specific deck's. Would I need to do something like var_equal '$current_deck' 3 ??

use action_deck with logic:
action_deck 1 ? ACTION1 : action_deck 2 ? ACTION2 : action_deck 3 ? ACTION3 : action_deck 4 ? ACTION4 : nothing

That makes sense. How would I specify what deck that's currently affecting? I know equalizerLowFrequency is global, but eq_low would only trigger on the deck corresponding to the dial, right? (e.g. deck 3's eq_low only affects deck 3)

If one is changing a global setting when using using say... eq_low, knob, then every instance of eq_low has to have the desired setting change also added so one know what the setting will be with that knob.
Ie all the instances of eq_low in your controller's mappings will need to be changed to setting equalizerLowFrequency 300 & eq_low OR setting equalizerLowFrequency 80 & eq_low.
That also includes needing to modify the skins instances of eq_low , else the equalizerLowFrequency global option will not be known, if it is 80 or 300.
the other method is, as Phantom has suggested, is to use another other knob to change the setting: equalizerLowFrequency .
Or if one only wishes 2 values for the equalizerLowFrequency global option, one could use any controller button (or custom button) to toggle between the 2 values.

setting equalizerLowFrequency 80 ? setting equalizerLowFrequency 300 : setting equalizerLowFrequency 80
