Yes the sub woofer will go into power saving. The reason I put the gain down was to limit the sub to a very light work load. It was barely audible. This way I could see if it was just too much load on the amp the way I had it.

The sub eventually heated up like it was under load, and turned off. There is a little LED inside the amp, that you can see through the slits, and that turned red and the sub stopped. It took a few hours, but it definitely shut off.

Blatisi:

1. Your amp is almost surely in need of replacement, and if you are willing to do the swap, Axiom will likely send you a replacement unit rather than do shipping both ways on the entire subwoofer. You would be saving them money. They will appreciate the efforts.

2. I posted the quote from the owner's manual to clarify whether or not the amps had an "auto stand by" mode. They do.

After you call them, please post what you thought of the experience of dealing with the issue. smile

I will post what ended up causing this, when I finally get in touch with support. I have been calling, but I have not been able to contact them as of yet.

Craig, I don't think the new amps have a standby feature. If they do, it's not described in the manual I found on the EP500 page.

Monday was a holiday for most of Ontario, so you should have better luck Tuesday onwards.
