Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Axiom Subwoofers vs other brands. Need compact.

Axiom will still make all the discontinued stuff if asked nicely. I'm thinking of an M40 just because I want to compare with my discontinued ebony M50v4. I have a lime mankini that will fit it.

The EP500 is IMO the sweet spot of axioms subs in performance v.s. size v.s. cost.

If that’s too big then Mojo’s suggestion of the EP400 might be a great solution.
If I remember right it was designed specifically to be small but powerful. Trading off efficiency for size.
And Mojo’s right on a lot of discontinued product … provided they still have the parts needed to build it.

I should add that if cost is an big issue then your left with the non-dsp Axiom subs or another brand

They commented in the YouTube video that yes indeed they would do special order of past products.

Is the 400 a sealed unit then? Smaller form and 400 watts…( captain obvious here….but just checking. )

Anyone ever tried an ep600 oriented laying day horizontally long? Suppose that would be possible , like the ep800 does. Could be a helpful way to have it fit in a room.

Yes … to me they sounded fine in that orientation. You can order them horizontal … just have to call and request it.

But personally I think the 600 and 800 are overkill … if I were to get a redo, I’d save money and go with EP500’s. The 600s are too tall and when laid on their side they take up a lot of space … you really need a big room to justify them.

The 400 is sealed and is 400W nominal, 1000W peak. In its first incarnation, it had a triangular port on the upper right. A few months later, the port was gone in favor of improved group delay at the expense of less SPL.

Rich, you need to listen to an 800 in your room.

800 is even worse .. too tall and room gobbling on its side. Besides … it just two 500s glued together… perhaps with a bit of sauce in the dsp … better to just get 2 500s …IMHO

There's a 10Hz difference in depth. It doesn't sound like much, until you hear it.
