Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners New poster with help question for V150......

You can adjust some settings for Pro-Logic 2 in your receiver. If you go back to the manual (thanks John K) you will find that you have a setting for music or movies, and another setting for width of center image.

As I re-read the post, I agree that the choice of sound mode appears to be the culprit. Try playing with those settings and see what happens.

tom - I wish it was golf. I spent the week in Chicago delivering contract/negotiations training to 300 of our sales folks. It's nice to be home. I felt so good about getting home about 4 AM Friday (don't ask), that I slept in and took the day off. Very long story short - turned out to be an expensive choice since I used the time to buy a 2004 Maxima. What a piece of equipment.

We have a 2000 Maxima. 50000 trouble free miles on it. 25 mpg at 80-90 mph in the desert. Too much cabin noise (wind and road), but other than that pretty good.

How's the new one Ray?

Mark, this is my third Maxima. I just gave my 1998 to my daughter (66,000) miles and it was still a puppy. Not a single problem, but as you stated, a bit of road noise. The new one is incredible (as you might expect, I have logged a few miles since yesterday ).

There's a longer story, but I moved up to the SL and it has lotsa toys on it. It is almost completely silent on the road - quite a difference. Almost too much power. My first time with automatic/memory seats, steering wheel and side mirrors. I don't need all of the "stuff" that was in the car, but it sure is nice to have. 17" tires and the "luxury tuned" suspension makes quite a difference in the ride from the sport (SE) I had. As old as I am, I'm still sitting here grinning as I type this. The only downside - BOSE speakers ( including 2 subwoofers) instead of Axioms!!!

I like everything about the 2004 Maxima except the rear end -- but I guess I never was an a$$ man.

I have a 1997 fully-loaded Maxima SE with manual trans that i bought used through iMotors.com. (Yep, I bought a used car online!) It has about 74,000 miles on it. No major trouble yet.

And now back to our regularly scheduled program... (i.e. sorry for prolonging the thread-jack)

my first car was a 1988 nissan maxima. it was a horse.
it had 177,000 miles on it. didn't go much over that because a lady from florida ran a red light and creamed me.

IMHO - the maxima is the best vehicle on the road today

my sister, in dallas, has a 97 or 98 maxima with 170,000 stop and go miles in the overly congested metroplex. she never washes it, the inside is trashed out, but the car still runs like a top. she has put three sets of tires on it, replaced the brakes once, one new battery, new alternator, and she just had new CV joints put on it last month. not bad for 170,000 miles. i would say she has gotten her moneys worth.

my 98 chevy 1 ton/4 door is fixing to roll 100,000. its a great truck, but the gas prices are killing me. it cost me $65 bucks to fill up last time.

bigjohn

$65?! Yowch! Sounds like you're fixin' to go broke!

bigjouhn - it is nice to see a really wealthy guy on the thread . $65 is a bunch for a fillup. Good thing the Axioms will keep you at home

BTW, I really like the back of the new Maxima; those sets of dual exhausts look pretty cool. Also, when you jump on it, there is a nice throaty growl. I'm a pretty happy guy right now.

Tough choice, eh Ray? Stay at home and listen to the Axioms, or jump in the Maxima and head for the open road. Ah decisions, decisions
