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

Yes. 7.2 is actually a misnomer, as there isn't 2 sub channels, just two outputs for dual subs. It should actually be called 7.1. There are very few 7.1 mixes around. Just about everything is 5.1 in Home Theater. You can configure any 7.2 surround receiver to combine the left and right surround channels with the left and right rear channels to allow you to use a 5.1 speaker system.

Do you need a sub-woofer for surround sound?
Not if you have full range speakers like tower speakers. Even with large speakers, the surround sound mix is encoded with LFE (low frequency effect) sounds that would not be heard without a subwoofer.

The receiver is the amplifier for all the speakers, except usually the sub, which is most common with its own amplifier.
Can you install a 2.1 channel speaker into a 5.1 audio system?
If the speakers are passive and you can connect a line input into the sub separately, then yes. Most receivers can be configured for only two front speakers and a sub, although you will be losing all of the surround effect and the center channel benefits.
What is the frequency response specifications for 7.1 surround sound channels Are all 7 about 20 to 20K Hz other than center which is usually voice dialog only?
Unlike the old Dolby Pro Logic Surround, Dolby Digital 5.1 and 7.1 have full frequency response abilities for all surround channels. In reality, most sound engineers limit the frequencies sent to the rear and surround speakers since the typical home setup has smaller speakers in these positions. Of course, the LFE channel is limited to 100 to 150Hz for true sub bass operation, but can be pressed into service to provide low frequencies to compensate for small left and right front speakers.
What is the difference between 5.1 dolby digital and 2.0 dolby digital?
Dolby 5.1 is a multi-channel audio format. Basically meaning, it's surround sound. There is a Left, Centre, Right, Left Surround, Right Surround and LFE (Sub) Speaker. Dolby 2.0 is simply 2 speakers, Left and Right. Similar to the Stereo sound you get from your TV. The Dolby bit means it has been compressed and encoded using Dolby technolgies, normally AC3.

Is there a way to create a center speaker in a 2 channel surround system?
If you use a surround sound receiver that let you define the numbers of channels, set it for 2.0 or 2.1 if you have a sub. The center channel audio will be mixed into the left and right speakers.

2.1 versus 5.1 home theater?
Both of these numbers refer to the speaker set up of the home theater. 2.1 represents two front channel speakers (left and right) and one LFE (low frequency effects) channel, otherwise known as the subwoofer. 5.1 surround sound is just that: you are surrounded by speakers. You have your left channel, right channel and subwoofer (as in 2.1) but you also have a center speaker and two surround speakers (generally in plane with your seating position or slightly behind it). For real 'home theater' applications, 5.1 surround sound is going to provide you with the better movie watching experience. All modern movies and in fact most DVDs (and Blu-Ray etc) have 5.1 surround tracks on them. By playing these movies on a 2.1 home theater, all of the sound that would go to the center speaker or the surround speakers is played only by the front two speakers. A 5.1 surround system versus a 2.1 system will draw you into the movie and give you a better experience. All standard definition television content is broadcast in stereo and for this, there is no benefit of 5.1. For home theater applications, however, 5.1 is the way to go.
