Everything is calibrated at 75db.
With volume at 9 o'clock and trim=flat.
I do run the sub +(1-2), but when when setting levels
I get vibration in the -2 to +2 db range of 75db setting.
I guess I'll have to try a call to Axiom.

Call Axiom. I had the same noise and they hooked me up. No more ratting / tapping.

Jonhan, forgive Mojo.
He shows off his beaver every chance he gets.

Mojo,
I gotta ask. What improved your audio more - magic pebbles, crystals, pyramids or the beaver? Also, is the beaver 12ga or 16ga?

 . I never thought the beaver would have any utility but now I'm so glad I chose that as my 10 year gift from the company over the gold watch . Maybe I should sell this idea to Machina Dynamica.

it could just be the port rattling, or something on the back amp panel. I had a rattle once in a 500 I owned, and if I applied preassure with my fingers on the back of the amp plate, the noise went away.
I have been having the same problem with my ep 500. There had been a rattle that was rather anoying coming from the back of the ep500 at certain times. I checked with my new spl meter to make sure my sub was not running too 'hot', and it did not appear to be the case. I called axiom and they suggested I tighten the hex screws on the back of the amp plate. I tightened them all up about 1/2 a turn or so (there were a couple that were pretty easy to turn so I think they may have been the culprit) Viola- no more rattle.

My rattle is coming from the front driver. I spoke to Brent
and he suggested tightening the front screws. I did this but
still have the rattle.
Brent/Axiom has sent me a new driver which I'll install
this weekend.

My problem was very easy to fix.
Hopefully changing out the driver will solve your problem.
May you will even find something loose inside that is rattling against the inside of the driver.. or maybe the driver itself is the problem.
Let us know what happens

The new driver is in and all is well.
No more rattle and now a punch I didn't have before.
Stuff would sure shake before, but I just felt I was missing something.
I can't believe it took a year for me to realize the rattle
wasn't from the glass coffee table or the decorative
glass marbles on the end table.
