I just checked behind the sub and the crossover was off so I just put it at 80Hz per the instructions so that probably contributed. But til I get a pro in I will give them the benefit of the doubt.
The crossover on the back of the sub should almost always be set to bypass and you should control the crossover from your receiver.

The instructions said to put the Xover at what I have the A/V at is that wrong? Excuse me it wasnt at off it was at 150hz it does not have an off on this new design or a trim. It said if using your amps xover to just set it what your A/V is at.

Setting the crossover that high is effectively the same thing as bypass with the speakers you have.

Guy, yes, leave the low-pass filter setting all the way up at 150Hz so that it doesn't interfere with the 80Hz crossover that the receiver is doing.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

Turning the crossover on the sub to it's highest setting is the thing to do. That is if there is no bypass.

Ya but the instructions say when using your amps xover to put it at 80hz if my amp is set at 80hz and mention my M22s and says to only use the bypass if your woofer on the front is 4 inches or less (mine are 5 and a quarter inches) but I will try both its just a pain yanking out with my wheelchair that thing is heavy. I may have to call them on this because its a new design

I may have to call them on this because its a new design I think it was Alan who has commented on getting some positive results by setting the low-pass filter on the subwoofer to the same as the crossover in the receiver but I thought that was only for certain situations. Perhaps Axioms has tested this more and found the with the M22 using both works better, so yes contacting them sounds like a good idea.
