If I wanted to keep my front and rear speakers at 40Hz, have them get all the bass they can handle and give the subs all the bass below 120Hz with both analog and digital input (double bass is not a problem with me, the wife on the other hand, well that another story..) What should I do? Get a ICBM ?

I really don't like the idea of reducing the capability of my speakers so that the subs can reach their potentional. I want my cake and I want to eat it too!

P.S. I have set my subs up at 4ohm (they were at 8ohm DVC with no problems - I think the S1000 is about to "tilt") on each VC to get a little more umph. But the house circut breaker is tripping at anything near 0db. So I'm still in a testing kind of mode. A good time to make some changes.

UPDATE: I have set all my speakers to small and now get good bass through the subs (just came back in from resetting the breaker :-), but the main speakers don't get enough bass. It appears that switching from large to small is really turning on and off bass management, it almost seems like small mode means you totally rely on the sub woofer for all bass and large means you have no sub woofer at all. Not sure what to do at this point.
