Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Just set up my new epic80-500 system in 7.1

I guess in order to be fair I might want to hold off on my 'final opinion' concerning the EP800's SPL limit until after I have installed the final replacement driver. Who knows, once all the 'popping' is gone and I can really crank this bad boy out I will come to a different conclusion than I have with an 'ill performing' piece of equipment.

It's just that it seems strange to me all the complaints lately when it comes to Axiom subs. Made me wonder if there was a bigger issue at hand. I will say that I noticed a vast improvement in all around performance once the 'really' bad driver was replaced. And while the second driver isn't nearly as flawed as the first was, perhaps whatever is wrong with it is holding back the 800 from achieving it's normal levels of performance.

All intents and purposes, with the bad driver, really you are running a passive rad and a single driver in an oversized housing. I'm sure when the other driver's in there it'll change everything.

Will it 'blow my windows out of their sills'???



LMAO, actually I can't play Madonna's 'Rain' much louder than -5 or so on the Denon. It actually does start to rattle the windows pretty violently at high volumes. But that's about the only song I've experienced that kind of bass with. That and movies of course.

I agree Micah, getting the replacement driver installed is the most important troubleshooting aspect at this point. All this other talk about switching out interconnects is nonsense. I love Blue Jeans cable products and pretty much use them exclusively (speaker wire, subwoofer cable, toslink, hdmi) but your problem does not stem from a faulty bbigwyrz subwoofer cable.

Micah,

If you have a budget to purchase something like that $2500 EP800 I would serious consider purchasing these items.

Galaxy CM-140 or if budget allows a PAA3 and a great mike.
Behringer DSP1124P
M-audio Fast-track pro 4x of budget allows a MOTU Ultralite MK3

Download roomEQ or buy a trueRTA license.

Prince range to get the gear is from $200-1000 bucks and you should be able to test and calibrate with the best of them. If your ear needs training buy this book. http://tinyurl.com/mvmd4n

Popping, replacement drivers? What are you guys talking about? Micah share experience and issues. Man I figure it must be pretty heard to kill that sub... but hey people pull off just about everything in this business. I hope the "popping" was not accompanied with blue smoke pal.

If the "popping" was accompanied by smoke than the amp would be toast and there would be no power to the sub. This obviously did not occur.

Ahhhhh! He escaped!!!

Not so far as my mail-order degree scientific brain could tell.

Hey Micah can't you take a joke? You deserved it with your notion on the inner workings of gravity LOL.

Ok here are some pictures of "Tower of Axiom®" v2. I have yet to glue the magnetic disks to the sides so it's not entire complete with "Nano Photon" and "Electro Gravitational Force" "enhancers". I did place EPDM rubber "Nano sandwitcing" for optimum "chocolatidity".

PS Preorders can be taken for the "Tower of Axiom" "High end" upgrade with "Nano Photon Gravitational Coupling Technology®".
