http://www.mobileaudiocontrol.com/product.asp?Product_Id=14165&d_Id=5249&l1=5249&l2=# go to the bottom right side of the page and download the epicenter owner's manual.

Look on page 10. It tells you exactly how to adjust the para bass controls for sweep and width, and gives you the recommended voltage under "recomended settings".

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Epicenter is a waste of time, money, and effort in todays audio environment. Read up on the actual purpose and what the epicenter does and you will agree that it is useless.

The Epicenter actually does serve a purpose. For individuals that use their factory sound system and add a subwoofer by using speaker level inputs, it helps to capture some of the lost bass tones.

I'm just a regular guy. I don't know why all the fuss about me....

What a harsh thread this was. I mean a guy comes on and asks a fairly simple question, "How do I set my Epicenter" and people jump on him and start calling his gear crap and basically insult him. Dude just follow the link above, set it up to the best of your abilities and see how it sounds. While I do agree that the use is some what outdated, I always found em fun to play with

Agreed. The purpose of this forum is to help each other by sharing information. If you don't care for a particular product, that's fine, we all have our preferences, but explain why you don't care for it in a professional manner instead of just saying "it sucks" or simply because of it's brand name. If you cannot express yourself in a professional manner, then please post nothing at all. We will begin deleting these types of posts and banning members that continue to express themselves in this manner.
