Can you use only 5 speakers and 1 sub with 7.2 surround sound?

It is not possible to achieve a 7.2 surround sound setup using only five speakers and a subwoofer. A 7.2 surround sound setup requires seven full-range speakers and two subwoofers. The seven speakers are placed around the listener in a specific configuration, with the two subwoofers placed in the front of the room. This configuration allows for a more immersive and accurate surround sound experience compared to a 5.1 setup, which uses only five speakers and a subwoofer.
