How about LFE ?!
..mix all channels with crossover frequency 80Hz into LFE..

How about LFE ?!
..mix all channels with crossover frequency 80Hz into LFE..

The better choice when upmix 2 -> 5.1 is let empty the LFE channel.

Don't mistake LFE with subwoofer, if the audio equipment is configured to play low frequencies with a subwoofer, that job is make automatically.
