Hi! I've just received a replacement amp for my EP350 (v3) subwoofer. As the Experts at Axiom are on a well deserved Christmas break, I thought I'd inquire here.

How the heck do I connect this thing!?

Remove the driver.

Two wires from the amp go to the driver. One wire color is on + and the other is on -. Make a note of which wire color is on which polarity.

Remove the wires from the driver.

Remove the amp.

Replace with the new amp.

Connect the wires to your driver per your notes.

Screw the driver back in.

I see the amp plate connects to the thermoplastic cover. You therefore don't have to touch the driver.

I'm alive! house didn't burn down. There was silicone on the connection to the subwoofer which is what threw me off. Once I realized what I was actually looking at the amp was switched out and all is working now.

Now for my upgrades to arrive! Moving up to M80's, QS8's and VP160 after 15 years of M60 V2 greatness. Y'all better be telling the truth about the V4 quality updates!
