Center + Sub question.

If I where to add a sub to my center channel using the line level inputs, would this create a phase issue with my main sub hooked up through the LFE channel?

    How about setting your Center as "None" and seeing if the fronts/sub can then give you what you're looking for? If it does, then you know it's something about your center not reproducing the lows well enough. If it doesn't then it's probably not in the recording or the player isn't outputting it properly?

    The problem is that I'm looking for something that isn't there, and as bsoko2 said, I was pretty bored when I tried this.

    Does anyone have the CS1000p center channel..? If you are looking for low frequencies coming out of the center... this would be my first choice.
    Anyone have one AND the Batman movie..? Do they hear the growl,grunt noises..?
    Just trying to help...
    Thanks, Jeff...

    I have found that some material sounds better with a bass connected with the center and some you just can't listen too. If you do it remember to re caclibrate your system. Good luck. Have fun.
