Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater epic 60.500, sub just doesn't sound right :(

when I had my ep500 set at 9 o-clock audessey set my sub to -12db.

I changed it to about 6 or 7 o-clock and now it is at -2.5 db (that is still about 4-5 db 'hot' when compared to my other speakers)

I would try adjusting the distance of the sub in the receiever as well.

also, try flipping the phase switch on the subwoofer.

I have exactly the same speaker setup and I was very surprised at how strong the 500 is. Mine is set at around 5:30. One tool that I found very helpful was the Room EQ Wizard. Here is a link to an article of someone using to help determine subwoofer placement.

For me I had to turn my 500 90 degrees and switch the phase to 180. Could not believe the difference that made. You will also be able to see quite clearly where your trim should be set. Other than that, your spl meter is your best friend.

Thanks for the link Curved Air. I am planning on playing with rew in the near future.
