Don't worry about this "in rush". I've had various subs from 4 or 5 different makers plugged into a surge protector, none of them ever had a problem. Sounds like hog wash to me.
Rick, I had an APC customer support rep. also tell me that the in-rush can cause problems.

Most surge protectors should use some type of soft start as does most amps. Where does this "in rush" come to play?

More than you ever wanted to know: http://sound.westhost.com/articles/inrush.htmA surge protector (or power conditioner) should not incorporate any sort of current limiting. But in fact many do, especially the conditioners. The inrush should be controlled by the device pulling the power, but in many cases is not part of the design.

So I am about to buy a 5.1 system from Axiom and have just been reading through the forums about the speakers I have chosen to purchase when I came upon this topic regarding the EP350v3. I am confused on what this "in-rush" issue is. My power center/conditioner (Panamax - 11-Outlet Power Conditioner/Surge Protector Model: M5300-PM) specifically has a plug-in for the sub-woofer. This whole thread has me confused on a technical aspect as to whether I use my Panamax outlet or the wall outlet (which I do not have available unless I move the sub away from the front channels to the back wall).

William,
I read the specs on your conditioner. Bank 5 is your high current plug specifically designed for things like subs. It is not current limited, so it would be fine to plug your sub into that bank.

This whole thread has me confused on a technical aspect as to whether I use my Panamax outlet or the wall outlet (which I do not have available unless I move the sub away from the front channels to the back wall). There's always the possibility the sub would work better at the back wall position, have you tried the sub crawl?

Well, my new cabinet and amp arrived and the 350 is back to working order. Only problem is I had the old 500 cabinet (now they share with 125 and 175). So my grill doesn't fit (they use magnets now) and I had to steal a 1/4" phone adapter to plug it in.

Also, in relation to the inrush debacle, should I plug my sub into the wall or the power center? It is in the dedicated sub outlet, and remember my problem occurred randomly at 4 am when nothing was in use (I was asleep) and there were no power surges/ electrical storms or anything. It's a Monster Power HDP 2500 power center by the way.
