I have had the EP500 for over a month now. The bass has been great...I have been turning it off after each use. Last time I forgot to power it off in the back it stayed on with no input for about 24 hours..I reached over in the back to touch the metal amp plate...WOW it is pretty dam hot..like 150 F just a hair under burining the finger...
Are your EP500's running that hot with no input? I cannot imagine leaving it on all the time this hot???
Thanks Vince

It should definitely not be running that hot. I'd call Axiom as soon as you can to troubleshoot.

I did not measure with a temp probe, but its pretty hot...is your sub metal plate room temp with no input after 24 hrs?
I'll call Axiom tomorrow...
Thanks Vince

That's a problem, I've had my ep500 for a month, it's never been off and it's barely warm. The manual says to leave it on unless leaving for an extended period of time.

You should not have to turn your sub off each time your done with it, I leave mine on all the time. Everthing if hooked to a tripplite HTPowerBar10 Surge/Conditioner. I don't recall my amp plate ever getting hot, I'll have to check it out the next time I go downstairs...

Vince, I would certainly call them back, leaving the sub on is normal, but for it to get that hot is not.

Guys,
Axiom is mailing me a new upgraded amp assembly tomorrow. I will perform a 1 for 1 swap out.....ship them back the toaster amp.
Hopefully this solves the heat issue.....
That's top notch service........
