Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners I need FedEx help please

Ahh, OK... so that wouldn't help much.


No way. Existing subs would go out for target practice before 800's - but I only have 2 subs now so still in "accumulation" mode anyways.

It's here!

You got the punch in the gut?

Unfortunately I can't listen to it for another couple of days. Then it has to break in for 3 weeks unless I do a HABI (highly accelerated break-in).

What??? not for another 3 weeks? Are the temps too cold up there to run subs?

Hi. Just thought I'd mention something about break in. My LFR's needed about 40/50 hours before they sounded OK. Out of the box they would make your ears bleed at the SPL I like. No regrets after that! Just bought a new pair of headphones. Again it took some time before they sounded like what they should.

I've "tested" sweeps, bursts, kick drum, harmonic distortion, transient response, low frequency extension, (lack of) midrange audibility...the sub enclosure is acoustically inert! No extraneous noises from the enclosure or drivers. Everything sounds wonderful including music and movies.

Surprisingly there's a response at 1 Hz. Now mind you there's negligible SPL - just drivers moving. At 10 Hz though, the whole room is in motion.

I haven't cranked the gain knob - it's at factory default which coincidentally is perfectly calibrated for my room. Integration with the room and speakers was painless.

Based on what I'm hearing, I wouldn't invest any more in improving the acoustics of this sub.

I haven't hit the gut punch switch yet.

What position is the factory default setting on the gain?

So you have been just using it in the flat switch position, what are you waiting for Mojo for the punch in the guts?

The factory default for gain is at ten o'clock.

I hit the switch last week.

You hit the switch? OK, tell
