Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Sub concern

I am having in a similar situation as yours. For some reason, the output of EP500 doesn't seem to be putting out a lot. This could be with my receiver and source settings.

One of the experts at Axiom told me, to test out the output of the sub, you should put the coaxial cable of sub to the audio output (where the composite cable (either red or white) goes to the DVD player, and play a track on it.

Let me know if enough output comes out of it.

One unavoidable difference is that "upstairs" floors vibrate and "basement" floors generally do not, so that will make a difference. You can get around this to some extent by building a small riser for the seating, and to a greater extent by putting the sub on the riser behind the seats.

Other than that -- placement makes a huge difference. Did you post the room dimensions, or just total volume ? EDIT -- ahh, here we go -- 20 x 20 x 7.

Any chance your seating position is in the middle of the room, particularly between front and rear walls ? If so, try moving the sub immediately behind the seats.
