Best suggestion for 3.1 HT possibly using my MC402 Power Amp


Hello folks-

Sorry if this has been covered before but here's my situation. I'm retooling my Home Theater setup 3.1 and need suggestions for the following:
1. Recommendation for powered sub with a footprint of say 15" sq, priced at around $1000.
2. Receiver under $1500 and I have an MC402 amp (400 x 2) to carry the load for the towers if that's possible?
3. My speakers are the  Definitive Technology BP9040's from Magnolia Best Buy (pretty good actually)

I guess my questions boil down to sub suggestion, receiver suggestion and can I bypass the amp on the receiver and use my 402 to power the towers and center. 

Thanks

Im perplexed? Receivers are all in one units amp/preamp/tuner. Why would you need one of those? Do you mean a Pre amp or Control center? Also, how are you going to drive 3 speakers with a 2 channel amp? As far as a great sub woofer I would look at a JL Audio E110.
