Haven't been around for awhile so it's good to be back!! I don't know if this is real technical or not but it's been bugging me for awhile. I want to run 2 separate amps so I have a 2 channel for my fronts and a 5 channel for my sub, surrounds and center. No big deal. When I go to balance my system levels, I guess I have to do it twice-once for each amp, correct?? And when I turn on the surround system, I'l be using 2 volume controls. Am I making this too difficult?? Is there another way to do all of this or am I missing something? Thanks....
