AV Receiver with Integrated Amp - Sub Connections?

There are a bunch of Parasound HALO Integrateds up for sale.  Several are under $2k.  The subwoofer crossover is not controllable from a remote.  However, it can quickly be switched on/off on the back panel.

If have room, I would just get another sub if you care about the LFE & ULF of your HT.  I tried doing what you were doing but somewhere along the chain, I couldn't make the sub work for both configs based on the bass I wanted.  If you don't connect the sub to the HT receiver and use Audessy, the sub won't rumble like you expect since Audessy just sees your L/R as large speakers.  You'll get bass, but I found it to not be as impactful as the sub connect to the HT receiver.

I opted for the Monolith 12.  I dedicated my HSU to my 2ch and glad I went with the Monolith for my HT.

Here’s the best solution Integrated Amp available on the market (link below)...Might make you want abandon the surround sound receiver, center and rears you have and convert movie watching to stereo with a sub.  
Or, you can upgrade from your receiver/integrated combo to a better overall receiver or go to a separate pre/pro and power amps.

And DOES HAVE Home Theater Bypass FYI...

I think I get what you want to do because I’m planning at some point to do something similar. It blows my mind that a lot of companies have “home theater” pass throughs but never do they have sub inputs and outputs which is nuts as subs are critical to home theater. Maybe they assume you won’t be using subs for two channel which I think is also silly.  Take a look at the JL Audio cr-1 crossover and see if that does what you need.
