Just run all speakers as 'large' and the ICBM will route the left, left rear and center to the left sub and route the right, right rear and center to the right sub (assuming you put it in stereo mode).
Of course, all of this would be very expensive, even with the UFW sale (2x$400 for UFW-10s + ~$200 for a ICBM + some cables = $1000+). I suspect that running the 170SE's with UFW-10s might sound pretty sweet.
