73bruin - The manual is available online as a .pdf in the 990 product page. I find it very useful when I need to use it. I keep it on my desktop so it is easy to access when needed.
Xenon - Thank you for the response. However, I was aware of that and I have downloaded the .pdf and printed it out as the version that I received with my 990 was the 0.9 release. My point was more about Outlaw keeping the manual updated as things change or errors are noted. For example, one of the surround modes "PL IIx MOVIE + DOLBY VS 5-SP WIDE" doesn't work per Scott. Even if there was only an online addendum that would be an improvement.
With regards to the wiring for a 7th speaker, I bought some 4 strand phone cable which I used to power my rear surrounds awhile back before I buried the wire under some new carpet. If you can only run one wire to your rears it would serve to power both speakers and is pretty cheap. I think it is 24 gauge but it is solid copper. It powers the rears pretty well.
In my case the issue is about running the cables up a wall (which I could hide), but then getting it over an exposed wood bullnose to a speaker that is literally mounted in an open railing. My attempt to get flat 12g speaker wire mounted to the the bottom of the rail, by double sided permanent tape for the 6th speaker was pretty much a failure as the wire pulled loose. A lighter but higher gauge wire as you suggested might have worked better, but I was trying for flatness as well.
