I'm not remembering the full process for bass routing at the moment, but with the mains set to large is it possible that the low frequency from the center being passed to them? I know that the mains get all LFE when they are large and the sub is off.

You could try leaving the mains small and unhooking their pre-amp cables to see if the center's bass goes to the sub, I suppose...
