Well I just arrived home from work to find a note under the front door mat. It's from FedEx, the EP500 has arrived  I just have to wait another hour before I can go and pick it up. I must say though, I am amazed again that it didn't take long at all to get here. Ordered it last Friday and it's here today, well done Axiom! It's amazing that I can order something from half way round the world and it gets here in a few days. I order something from the east coast and it takes over a week to get here. Well I'm off to amuse myself for an hour  No doubt I will have some questions later on.

Well it's here  The box was a little damaged but a quick inspection after opening and everything is ok. One thing that I am a little disappointed in, is the electrical cable. It is for the US I assume, two prongs and the third is round. I would have thought it would ship with that countries cable? After seeing that I had a horrible thought, would it work on our power supply? Hopefully all I need is an adapter plug. Here are some pics, Old v's New Move over junior

Congrats Graeme! I think a big thank you should be in order for Fed Ex as well, as they are the ones that actually hauled that beast  . I wonder how many adapters or cables Axiom would have to have to account for all the different countries they ship to? Not a good thing for Axiom, way too much stock and money invested and if they happen to ship the wrong one, more wait time etc. I think it would be nice if they mentioned that you would be responsible for any power adapters required for your area though, unless they do and I missed it. BTW, the round prong is the ground, or earth as it is called else where.

Yes it would have been nice if they had mentioned that.
I sent an email to Brent just to make sure it will run ok on our power supply, Hopefully everything will be ok and all I need is an adapter.

Canada is 120v, according to this site http://www.kropla.com/electric2.htm you are 220V, does the sub have a 120V/220V switch?

Yes, Axiom subs do have that switch. Graeme - check out the manual for the details, under Step 5. ON/OFF AC POWER/VOLTAGE SETTING: Your subwoofer is supplied with a pop-out voltage regulator set for use with 100 - 120 volts from the A/C line. It can be easily removed and turned over to set your EP500 or EP600 to 220 volts from the A/C line. See diagrams on the next page. The EP500 & EP600 come with a three-prong power cord compatible throughout the United States and Canada. Residents of other countries will need to purchase a converter/adaptor or the proper power cord that fits your specific socket. You're all set once you get the plug adapter. Jason

Jason The manual only states 120/220, we are 240v? I think I should be good, otherwise Axiom would not ship it here. I wonder if the cable from my old sub would work? It has the same connection into the sub.
