Running a sub in 2 channel with dhc80.2

What exactly do you mean by 'two channel'?

Do you mean your sub is hooked up with two cables from the Left/Right front preouts from the Integra (and not using the single subwoofer output)?

Or, do you mean you have the sub hooked up with a single cable to the Integra but when you select the 2-channel only mode the sub is not working?

Many AVRs and Pre/Pros have a "Pure Direct" mode for 2-channel analog connections from CDs or TTs - if this is what you mean, then by the nature of "Pure Direct" and 2-channel - there is no .1 signal for the sub 'cuz the AVR preserves the 2-channel analog only path thru the AVR.

Open you manual and turn to page 44 and look under "Listening Mode" then go down to "Stereo"(2nd from top)-----"Sound is output by the front left and right speakers and subwoofer." This is how I listen to 2-channel+sub with my Onkyo TX-SR705.

I assume that you're using Audyssey. If so, there shouldn't be any issue.

When I set up my Onkyo 5508 (a near twin of the 80.2) I found that Audyssey would auto detect the set-up. It asks you to identify the sub or subs, then pings each of the other potential (side, rear, height, etc.) channels for level set and EQ. When the test mic produces zero response to the set-up ping for any given channel, Audyssey assumes that there are no speakers active for that channel. At the end of the process, it will show 2.2 for left/right with two subs or 2.1 for left/right with one sub.

What's up with the 'drive by' requests for help and no follow up?

I was thinking the same thing. Happens on the Klipsch forum all the time.

Similar thing happened to me twice this last week when potential buyers emailed me several times about a couple of amps I am selling asking questions and requesting photos. I have emailed them three times each in the last three days to see if they are still interested in the amps. I just don't get it. A follow up email "I am no longer interested" would suffice. Or in the case of this thread, "thanks for the help" would work.
