In Reply to: How Is Bass Divided Among Speakers If No Sub? posted by mitch4t on July 14, 2013 at 11:07:39:
If there's no .1/LFE speaker in a speaker configuration, then that channel's info will not be played and any bass info redirected from non-full range speakers, if there are any, will not be played over the system.
Any speakers configured as large/full range will get all of the bass info that was mixed for that particular channel. Any speaker set up as non-full range/small will get a limited signal based on how the surround processor/receiver is set up (eg, crossover points).
In your setup, you'll get all of the bass info that was in the mix except the .1/LFE info. That means you'll be missing some of the really intense bass in a soundtrack.
