Re: Axiom


As others have mentioned, it is best to get matching subwoofers to ensure you don't get strange issues. You also picked the right number of subwoofers to wire your room for. Four subwoofers, one centered on each wall, is the best way to get good bass all over your room. This was the focus of a fairly recent article from Floyd Toole. As for recommendations, I can't support Axiom, as the above linked measurements would imply. SVS makes good products, though you can create some monsters if you're willing to DIY. I think 4 Infinity 12VQ subs in large, low tuned enclosures would make for some insanely powerful and insanely accurate bass. At $200/driver at the high end, and a cost of $700 for amplification (2xEP2500), you could have all four subs out the door for $2000. This of course would negate your prewiring, so it might not be the best choice. For powered subs, I think SVS is the king for value on great subs that go LOW.
