I am looking to place an EP500 within an entertainment unit any suggestions?
Is it okay to place one within an entertainment unit, or is it really inadvisable!
I would like to know how much "air space" is required around the sub!
THX,
JP

I believe in the EP500 manual it states not to put it in an enclosed area.

Here is the owner's manual. It does state to not put it into an enclosed area.

I knew it! I read it right before I put the manual under my pillo...I mean, after I read it in the kitchen over dinner last night.

well in my old house had a denon HTIB and used to keep the sub in the unit and move it out when viewing. I know the Ep500 is a beast a prob not as easy to move but may be an option for you. Jake

so your saying you don't have a corner somewhere or other wall location you could place the sub? Besides, if you did place it in the entertainment center, it would most likely fall apart from the vibration. It is not really a great idea to place any sub, or speakers with ports in an enclosed area, unless you don't mind reducing performance.

JPM If space for placing a sub in your room is a real issue for you and your room isn't too large, Axiom will soon (a couple months) be coming out with a very small (in size) sub called the EP400.
The spec are: Enclosure: Bass Reflex Max Amp Power: 500 Watts Cross-over Adjust: 40 - 150 Phase: 0 & 180 Woofer Size: 8" DSP Controlled Line In and Out Balanced Line In and Out High Level In Room Trim Dynamic Power Supply Anechoic Resp. +/- 1.5dB: 28-150 Anechoic Resp. +/- 3dB: 25-150 Room Resp. + 3dB/- 9dB: 23-150 Max SPL Anechoic: 106 dB Max SPL In Room: 116 dB Dimensions HWD inches : 13.75 x 16.8x10.5 Weight (lbs) each: 48.55 lbs Paul

Hmm, I wondered about that but then got to thinking a thread devoted entirely to the sub had been started and Ian himself had chimed in (albiet the spec.s weren't referenced).
