It never rains, but it pours. EP500 is mute. After lunch I have to check if device is problem, cable or Onkyo....

That's strange. I thought you shorted the amp. Must be something else unrelated to the shorting mishap.

Tried the Audiobytes amd and my old Yahama. They both yield a horrible hum... Tried my old very bad sub and it does the same thing with receiver. Sounds like the pre-out sub is blown. Yesterday I had tried two channels and they were fine. I guess I better check them all again!
Is it okay to use the pre-outs and feed them to the audiobytes? Because of size, it is a lot more mobile!

Wow. Looks like its Integra 9.8 time. Sounds like you fried your receiver as well. Sorry to read about it. On a happier note your subs should be fine.

Need help here.
Pre-out channels are fine. Now I guess the next test will be using speaker cables for the sub. I have never done that with a receiver that does not have A/B. How do I set it up? Parallel with the main speakers? Daisy chained through sub?
Thanks in advance.

Just hook up the subs as if you were connecting main speakers and play a tune. Disconnect the main speakers and test the sub alone.

You're right! At least for a quick test. If it works and I need to make this more permanent, what will it be?

A disadvantage of the EP subs is that they don't have high level outputs so you can't connect the speakers to them. As a temporary workaround set your speakers to large and connect the speaker wire to the sub low level inputs then cross the sub at the speaker -3db extension point. Your going to have adjust the sub volume to get it right. Permanent workaround is a new processor. A mid-term workaround is to use a sub with high level outputs so you can set the crossover where you want it.
