Well, I tried out scenes from Pulse, War of the Worlds, and The Incredibles. There's certainly more heft to the low end now, and it's not like the EP600 was a slouch. I haven't tried just one EP800 yet.

Oh, I was curious. I have an email in to JC, too. I originally had a hum with the single EP600, which I remedied by using a balanced XLR cable. Again, with a single EP800, there's no hum, but upon hooking the second sub up to the first, they both hum. It's not loud enough to impact movie watching, but I'd still rather not have it. I don't know enough to understand why hooking up a second sub would re-introduce the hum. Can someone fill me in?

Did you try playing with the ground plugs on the amp? I had to do a bit of this with mine before finding the right combo that would work. Also a cheater plug (3 prong to 2 prong adapter) will help (though apparently there is some electrical risk in doing so) \:\)

A cheater plug IS an electrical risk!!! This should ONLY be tried to see if the hum is silenced. This is NOT a fix!

You said that you had no hum using one sub. Did you try using ONLY the "other" sub?

No, not yet. I'll have to try it after work.

No, I haven't tried yet. I'll let you know what I find out after I have time to do some more experimenting.

By the way, I meant ground screws... not plugs. They definitely work, so if you haven't tried those, start there. \:\)

Hi CV,

Be sure that you don't have any dimming capable lights or other similar fixtures plugged into any of the outlets that the subs are plugged into. A common source of humming are these types of electrical appliances.
