It works!. Turn the receiver on, sub comes on. Turn the receiver off, sub goes off. On... on... off... off... Say, this is fun! FWIW, when I was looking at receivers, the guy in the store didn't believe me when I told him my Axiom sub had a 12v trigger. He figured it was only for those expensive high end subs. Just another thing to appreciate about my Axiom sub.

exactly what kind of cable do you have to use for this again? I see no reason why I shouldn't hook my ep500 and 3808 up with one

I use a trigger wire to turn on two EP500s and the A1400-8. You need a line cable terminated with 1/8 Inch (3.5mm) mono plugs. Stereo plugs are not used in triggering applications. I had to search a while to find long lengths of trigger cables and eventually ordered various lengths of trigger wire from this site. I have no affiliation with that outfit.

Hmm. I used a stereo plug as it was the only thing I could find locally. Is there some reason not to do this?

I am not too sure if it is a question of where the lead wires are connected inside the plug, but I can attest that it rarely works. I have 3 piece of equipment with 12v and they all required for me to find a mono plug. You don't need the whole cable mono (if you already have the stereo in a wall or something), but at least the connector. In fact, in my setup, only the portion in the receiver is mono (with splitters). 2 out of 3 of the depending devices worked with a stereo ending on their side (but one did not).

Where exactly do you plug the mono plugs into [my 3808 and 500]? I believe Ken helped me out with this a while ago and I obviously didn't get around to it. But he used a small extension cord running from the Denon, to a wall wart, then to the 500; but this route is a little bit easier.
Thanks guys

I too could not find a mono plug... that is likely part of my problem!
