Gurus,

My only interest in the ICBM is its Stereo Subs option in the HT 5.1

The ICBM manual shows a 5 channel amp for the 5.1 HT set up with a 5 pre out receiver such as mine, my receiver doesn’t have “amp in’. I need separate amps.

Let’s take stock of my gear to get acquainted: Soon to arrive, 2 Mackie’s HR 824 powered monitors, AudioSource stereo amp EITHER for rears OR in mono for center, seems I’m missing an amp with this configuration.

Since the purpose of the ICBM is to better accommodate the “Stereo Subs” crossovers and to eliminate the now used fixed high pass.Will I only need the “Stereo Subs” portion of the ICBM in my 5.1 set up?

The other confusion I’m having is with the Mackie’s various crossover settings, how will the ICBM handle these OR will it bypass the Mackie’s controls?

Do I need another amp to configure the ICBM for its true intent, even though the real goal is to accomplish Stereo Subs in a 5.1 set up?

If so, I need another AudioSource amp for center or rears!!

What is the correct configuration for my purposes?
