My EP 500 is alive now, it opened up and I am amazed at the output. The gut buster will go on the adjacent wall and I will most likely adjust the level and phase to make the two sync.
I think that the additional sub will not overload the space at all, but it will certainly round out grazing space bass.
My big issue at the moment is I am having a problem with my amp shutting down due to over temperature at loud volume levels which it never did. This is new. It was always happening on the right speaker (right channels of the amp closing down). I switched the speakers side to side and now the left channel shuts down, but what is interesting is the right channel went out a couple of minutes later and I have been monitoring the termperatures of the heats sinks and the over temp occurs at 150 degrees. One speaker definitely makes the amp run hotter than the other. When I had the initial issues, the right channel was always running about 20 degrees warmer... I switched the speakers from side to side and when I went into over temp; the now left channel (the speaker from the right which ran 20 hotter) is running about 5 to 8 degrees hotter so it tripped first, but I was interested by the fact that the new temperature differential is only 5 to 10 degrees vs. a solid 20 or so. Not sure if this is due to the crossovers in the Speakers causing this or if the amp has an issue going on. This is all new, never had issues with loud playing over heating the amp. And this only occurs with a specific CD I have which is full of very dynamic mid and low range material. Never an issue with vinyl, no matter how loud I play it and how much dynamic range the material is.
Any one have any ideas?
Mojo, hows the switch? I know its new and not opened up as of yet, but initial thoughts? I'll have mine mid week
