Wow, that's pretty good, Peter! I've always liked subs that have a variable phase knob rather than a switch.
Your pictures really help explain what's going on.

Thanks for the explanation.
I ignored most of the AC circuit 'phasor' stuff we talked about in my ENG physics II and circuits class. It was my opinion at the time that all of that mumbo jumbo should be left ot the Electrical Engineer.
Being that my subwoofer is up front with my mains, a 180 phase adjustment may not be what I need. I will still experiment with it though.

Thanks. Photoshop is good for more than messing with photos.

Cam,
I looked at your manual. It really sucks that you can't change the x-over frequency. I would suggest you experiment with setting LFE+main and then dialing the sub to 60Hz and 40Hz. Also, "play" with the phase switch. And remember that the bass you heard with the Paradigms may not even really exist because the Paradigms may not have been flat.

I'm sorry, you know I'm new to this. What you mean by "dialing the sub to 60 Hz and 40 Hz" and how to why accomplish this? I'm really trying to get as many suggestions before tomorrow. Mojo knows, that I am bedridden the majority of the time and can only get up periodically, so that's obviously when I like to enjoy my home theater.
Thanks everyone

Mojo is talking about setting the dial on the back of the sub to 60 or 40hz while the LFE + main is selected this way you can adjust when the sub comes on using the subs built in cross over. I don't think the phase switch you need to worry about right now.

That's exactly what I'm talkin' about. Unfortunately the Axiom subs are not "wheelz-friendly". A remote control would have been a necessity in your case. Too bad one of us didn't live closer to help you out.

He's just a short drive and it is the weekend. Ok not so short a drive but if I was heading even remotely that way I would be there.
