I'll bet not too. The centre channel info below its crossover point is re-directed to the front Left & Right channels to keep the critical front soundstage coherent. This way, if you have a very small centre speaker and are forced to use a relatively high crossover point, the filtered information will phantom image in the centre. I've never seen a bass management scheme that sends centre content directly to the sub.

That's one thing that hit me for my post last night. Also, if there was no sub the LB signal from the center would be routed to the mains. Why not always just send it to the mains first and then have the sub play what the mains can't?
