Thanks for a great reply.

>>2. I may be misunderstanding a bit here (it is the end of the week, my brain cells are about done in). You want the powered sub fed from the main speakers at all times, not from a separate sub/LFE output. In this case, you will need to provide some means of transferring the .1 channel on your multi-channel SACD's to the left and right signals. The 1050's analog input will not provide this sort of function (again, short of a few high-dollar HT pre/pros, there's nothing beyond volume control on the 5.1 analog inputs). Your 222ES may have bass management for SACD that will allow you to set the sub to "off," but I'm not sure. The Outlaw ICBM does support this, as well, I believe, if your SACD player does not.

Maybe I am making this more complicated than it needs to be. I have a powered sub and I am a bass freak. I have heard that bass management will kill the sub outputs when you listen to 2 channel audio (which will be most of the time for me). I just want to listen to the sub 100% of the time for stereo and multichannel. The sub is self powered and accepts both speaker and pre level inputs. How would I hook up the sub with the Outlaw 1050?

Thanks in advance!
