Ken, does your amp have the universal connector?
Is this the amp your sub has?

Why not try something like this? This would allow you to use the phono plug. This would also be a pretty inexpensive option to see if the connector is bad, you may also be able to get one from a local radio shack or other electronic store.

FredK, there is some EQ boost used in the EP350, but I don't think it's a DSP EQ. Just a bit of analog EQ, if memory serves. .

Ah...on my EP500, the LINE IN RCA jack is starting to sag a little bit. So I can plug it into the LINE OUT?

Thanks for the tip.

I notice most subs end up against a wall which usually ends up pushing the rca cable and causing damage to the amp. On monoprice i found a right angle adapter for rca that really helps with this problem.

Hi Dak, yeah, that's the one i've got. Sadly, the high level inputs aren't working either, and there's a hum that increases (sometimes!) with volume, so it's not jus the input jack, unless that's bunged to the point that it's overriding the other inputs and just humming.

call brent see how much a new amp would be, a replacement amp for my 600 was cost effective, i think they gave me a 2 or 300$ credit for my old amp.

Ken, did you also try the disconnect and touch the RCA plug tip procedure mentioned in the latest sub trouble shooting blog, to see if there's any driver cone response?
