Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater M100s?

I've been told that people can't hear below 20hz, what really matters is the sound above 20hz. having an EP600 I can say that mid range bass is sweet and very enjoyable. I enjoy it. You can find 16" woofers that perform much lower, but only the family dog will appreciate it.

Rlez, you've just described my worst nightmare. That is bat shit crazy! That would make for such a shity night. You have my sympathy. I hope the shipping gods shine down on you better in the future!

I'm almost certain I will end up with several subs in that room. Maybe two 800s up front and two 500s in the back.

Now you're talkin'. You may want to put the 800s in the back. They are monoliths so they may interfere with the acoustic radiation off the speakers.

I actually have some natural nooks in the room that the 800s might sit in perfectly. Would it be best to daisy chain the 800s on one .1 channel and the 500s on the other .1? I will run the 500s off of the dsp when I upgrade to the actives

I suppose you can experiment with them in nooks but they may go BOOM!

Yup, you can do that. I don't know if you have two separate .1 channels or 1 channel that is paralleled. You ought to check with Axiom for how many sealed subs you can run off of a single sub out. It depends on their input impedance and also on how much load (current) your .1 output is rated for. Check the specs for the .1 output.

My avr has two .1 channels so I think I would run a splitter off each of those to run 4 subs.

Or run to one sub and chain to another.

Finally test driving the 500.... I think I'm going to need to upgrade to the 600s up front. I'm going to continue tweaking the settings and move the sub around the room some to see if it makes some sound improvements. Unfortunately I will probably have to decide on the 500 before the 180 and m100s arrive. Multiple subs will definitely be needed in my room.

Canes, the best place for that 500 in your room may well be 1/3 or 2/3 of the way down your side-wall relative to the front left corner. It may sound best if it's moved a foot or so away from the wall.

The easiest way to locate the correct position is to place the sub where your main listening position is. Play a tune with bass. Then crawl along your side-wall and locate the positions where the smoothest bass is happening. Put the sub in any of those positions.
