Graeme, just looking at the picture and not having access to the manual(if you have it the connections should be described), I'd be inclined to agree with Jay that the other input labeled "XOVER INPUT" is the one intended to be used when a receiver is doing a crossover. So switch the cable to that input, which then bypasses the internal sub low-pass filter and makes that setting on the sub control irrelevant.


I have the manual but still can't figure it out ( Just call me stupid \:\( )

This is what is says....

Low-Level RCA Input Jacks


The two RCA input jacks allow you to connect your subwoofer to EITHER

1.) The Subwoofer output of an AV Receiver/Processor

OR

2.) The Subwoofer output of an External Crossover.

Note: When using the External Crossover input, the subwoofer Level Control and LP Filter Control on the subwoofers rear panel are bypassed and have no effect on the subwoofer. In this mode, the adjustments are made using the controls on the External Crossover.

I figured it would be option 1?

It's only 100 watts and if I try to have it up it is really annoying. The result is really crappy base and distorted.

I wish our friggin dollar would hurry up and regain some ground so I can get my EP500.

Thank you all for your patience and advice, I really appreciate it.

That language is a bit ambiguous, but from the Note it does appear that the other input(2.)should be used since the receiver is doing an external crossover and the internal sub low-pass filter would just interfere if it wasn't bypassed.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.
