A manual bypass would be nice, but that's somewhat annoying to remember everytime you shut your stereo off (I've heard this sub draws a fair amount of current if left idle). I just wish the stand-by circuit worked like its supposed to.

Well, I'll have to defend Axiom's choice here - the voltages it has to look at are in the tens to hundreds of millivolt range. Trying to compromise on a trigger voltage that will keep the sub on during quiet listening and keep it from turning on from electrical noise when, say, a furnace or washing machine motor starts up isn't an exact science... ask anyone who's ever tried to set a squelch control on a CB radio.

I leave my sub powered on all the time - I figure there's enough things in the house stealing less useful kilowatt hours than an idling amplifier circuit... then again I live in MB where hydroelectricity is cheap.
