Received the amp. It does not hook up with the 1/4 sub cable. It needs an xlr to 1/4 adapter that was suppose to be with the amp. Called and JC sent one right out. But I have the amp in and just waiting for the adapter. Tried to get one at the local radio shack but they didn't have one.
The new amp is much lighter than the old one. Not sure what that means. So should be able to hook it up by the middle of next week. |

that sucks it didn't come with the adapter, hope they next day air you one so you can enjoy the amp. I wish they would have stayed with the regular RCA hookup, which is standard.

Yeah that is what I thought about the change in hookup. But I am sure that had a reason for it. The tracking showed it was on the FEDEX truck for delivery today, but it didn't make it. So I will have to wait until Tuesday now. Will let you know when I get it and try it out.

Received the adapter today and hooked it up. No sound at all from the sub. I have a call in to Axiom. Waiting for the return call. Will let you all know what the verdict is.

Ouch, Steve. One thing you might try, even though the previous problem didn't appear to have anything to do with the line level input, is to disconnect one of the main speaker wires and connect it to one set of the high level inputs.

Hi John. Just finished that. Brent recommended the same thing. Still nothing. Took the woofer out and made sure all connections are good. Left it out and tried again. The woofer doesn't move at all. Anyway, Brent is checking with the engineers in the morning and will get back with me. Will let you know what the outcome is. At least it is still under warranty and Axiom is willing to make sure it is taken care of.

Steve, if you mean that you also connected the speaker wire directly to the driver after you took it out, and got no movement, that would indicate that the voice coil is burned out.
