My settings aren't much different than Randy's. In the Darla tap scene, I feel my bowels rattling, the whole house shudders and the bass is transparent and expansive. But I don't feel a chest punch  .

I do, but it is normally my 3 or 8yr old punching me during a movie.

A chest punch requires massive air movement. The only time I've truly felt a chest punch from a subwoofer (probably more like SubwooferS) was at the Mann Chinese Theater in Hollywood. That was some crazy bass. In addition to chest thumps, the legs of my jeans would vibrate visibly.

AGREED...Darla's tap scene rattles cabinets, dishes and many other loose objects in other rooms!! It certainly is a sub-audible, viseral experience...no matter where the volume is set!  Always impressive and shows just how deep the EP500 goes!

Aight, i borrowed Finding Nemo from a friend of mine and I played Darlas's tap scene, and nowhere do I feel any sort of rattling nearby objects or my couch shaking, etc. The wall that is behind the sub is made of concrete, not dry wall like the adjacent side to it.

ok well I contacted one of the experts at Axiom and what I did was I put the coxial cable from the sub to the audio output of either front right or left channel of the Oppo DVD player to test out the output.
The output made a HUGE difference.
Prob. is I am not gettin that kind of output with my brand new DENON receiver (such as playing CD's / DVD's, watchin T.V, playing Wii, etc).
Any suggestions?

What output level do you have set for the sub on the Denon? Also check if (and I don't know that this is the case) the output levels vary based on which decoder/input you're using.

Concrete or no concrete, your house should definitely be shaking. Something is definitely wrong.

What are the bass management settings in the Oppo?

For the DENON setting I have the sub level at +9.0 . I only have the front two and center channels connected and it uses DD pro logic IIx (I believe).
It was awhile since I took a look at my DVD settings, but I had the sub on 'yes'. I take a look at it tomorrow or something.
