So I'm pulling wire as we speak for a HT room beside an exercise room in my basement. I've already pulled the wire and conduit to the exercise room and hung that sheetrock. So now that I'm committed to some idea of what I'd like to accomplish I'm now going to ask about the functionality of the 990 in some detail....

I've read the manual and made a few calls to Outlaw for advice. I think that I'm ok with my plans but I'd like just a bit more confirmation to feel all warm and fuzzy about what I have in mind.

I'd appreciate some feedback from the users here. My room is smallish. The room will be 14' deep, 15 wide with a 7'10' ceiling. Concrete floor, concrete walls behind dryall front and right. Regular stud wall behind and to the left. I can do anything for floors or wall treatments as this will be HT only room. The wall for entry will be two sliding pocket doors that open to the center. I'm planning on using Axiom M50's for front, VP100 center and Qs4 surrounds. 990/?? Amp and LFM sub.

So the questions are:

1. The exercise room behind the HT is wired for cable TV for a LCD on the wall and I've placed 3 ceiling speakers in boxes along a 14 x 26 room for music and TV when exercising. Can I drive those speakers from two channels of 7 channel amp with a 5.1 HT system using a 990/7 channel amp?

2. On occasion I'll want to push the HT signal to the exercise room to extend the video out into the exercise room, can this be done with the 990? A differnt video feed? Two different signals at the same time?

3. The HT is smallish, do I need 125 watts or can I have good sound with 75? What do I gain if I go with the LFM Plus sub over the standard besides another 25 watts? In the end, the cost differential isn't great but every dollar not spent on one piece of gear can go to other pieces of the puzzle so being prudent can have benefits.

Thanks for the feedback.
