These should be easy for anyone that knows how the 990 handles signals, I'll post them here in the hopes that I can get an anwswer without emailing or calling outlaw. My questions are specifically in reagard to bass management and what happens to the .1 channel of a dolby 5.1 sound track in a few situations.

First scenario, I set my front mains to cross over at 60 hz and my center channel at 80 hz. I understand everything from those frequencies on down will be sent to the LFE channel, however, does this also cut the frequencies of the LFE (.1) channel's content to 60 or 80 hz as well? If so, that'd mean removing some information totally, right? In addition, is any of the .1 channel sent BACK to the main speakers (presumably content over 60 or 80 hz) if this is how it works? Lastly, will there be overlapping of the same bass content in both the center and mains plus the subwoofer in any possible configuration?

Second scenario, Main speakers set to large, subwoofer set to "off". I'm assuming running this sort of configuration would send both the LFE channel's content and all the bass to the front mains. With this in mind, wouldn't it be possible to hook up the mains and sub through a dedicated (external) crossover and accomplish exactly the same thing as setting the 990 to "small" with appropriate crossover frequencies?

Thanks for reading,
