Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater advice subwoofer

Hi everyone,
I looking in a subwoofer to match my recent m80 for music listening, I am not a audiophile but listen a LOT a music , I like techno music and alternative/punk/hardcore music (almost every kind of music) but techno be the #1.

Right now I don't have any room dimension, still in apartment, but looking for a house.Want buy something who will fit and fill the room what ever dimension I got. But will probably be in the basement for Partying.

For the listening volume I like it pretty loud. not bleeding ear level but almost, deft already because of the army :).

For sure would like to get the EP800 ( I am a guy so I always want the bigger toy a can buy) but wondering if that would be overkill(read some review and that a beast) was looking for two ep500 who a the end is little bit more expensive but can buy those in two shot ( and the people living in the same bloc will appreciate, I am pretty sure :))

Understand this is a axiom forum but I am open to any suggestion for subwoofer what ever the company, but I am interest in quality who will last like the m80

It's a good idea to look at two subs if it's in your budget. Two EP500's would certainly give you incredible bass, as would a pair of HSU's, EpiK, Elemental Design(ED), SVS, Paradigm, or Outlaw Audio subs.

Welcome to the Axiom forums Alex398.

I agree with the fellow above. Two Ep500's should not dissapoint for all types of music and movies. Enjoy your M80's!

Welcome Alex, I agree with Adrian as well. I currently run two Epik Empires, and now prefer the sealed sub sound over my previous ported subs.

If you would have used it mostly for movies, I would have recommended the EP800 simply for the reason that it can reach up to 12Hz. Since you're using it for music, I agree, 2 subs is the way to go and you should be happy with any of the names mentioned above.

Hi Alex,

For what it's worth, I too am a huge music fan, from old school metal, classic rock, progressive rock and even country. I have had the EP350. Then later added a PL-200 for 2 subs.

Finally, I went with 2 EP500's, one in each front corner of my room. I was close to going with 2 svs subs, but with the Ep500's having DSP control I went with Axiom.

Prior to getting the the dual EP500's, I always felt like something was "missing", maybe not enough "tightness", not really sure, it's hard to explain.

I can tell you, for me, that feeling I had of something missing has been completely erased with the dual EP500's. BTW, movies are incredible as well. Just FYI...

Dana

Thank for the suggestions, I will go with two EP500

You should be very happy with dual EP500's. Try to do a search on setting up multiple subs as their are different ways of calibrating them.

"you make very wise choice grasshopper"

That should sound awesome Alex, if budget allowed I would have went the Axiom woofer route. The techno bass should be brutal, happy clubbin!
