is a epicenter worth it?

Recommended Posts

i am a huge fan of Audiocontrol products. I use at least 1 AC product in all of my personal installs. I absolutely hate the Epicenters. They are not worth the money IMO. if you can get it at a great price I'd say get it and sell it for a couple bucks.

if nothing changes, nothing changes

The Epicenter was introduced when most everyone was building sealed boxes and when there was no bass in most music. It does boost the low frequencies clean but it is not needed with most music today (as has been mentioned) and if it isn't used properly, it will cause you to damage your gear.

If you need better low end response from a subwoofer system, look at building an enclosure that is efficient at low frequencies. Because you cannot (again, as has been said) extract more from a loudspeaker than it is capable of producing.

I'm not building a sealed box. im just asking as many questions as i can about boxes in general. i was curious about the ability to tune a sealed box. after all the great feedback iwill build a slotvent box at 32hz. debating the layout of it (shared chamber, each has there own, where to put the vent,blah,blah) I'm just gonna take the epi and sell it.add to the list of other audio stuff on craigslist. thanks for all the help guys

oh one more question! if any of you are familiar with the jl v2 amps and know about the master slave capability, can that epi control all 3 amps? i know I'm not gonna run it i just like to.know

Doesn't matter what amplifiers you have, the Epicenter is a preamp that installs ahead of the signal path of the final amplifiers. So yes, it can control three JL amps or ten brand X amps.

You won't be disappointed man. I've yet to sell one to someone that they didn't leave with an ear to ear grin on their face. :-)

i can't fucking wait! i guess its a 2month wait, but its ok cuz i have to sell my stuff first. think I'm gonna keep one of my amps and put that and my third sub in my girls car. but seriously i can't wait! for the last 2hours I've been watching videos and reading up on them. i just can't believe how much you get for so cheap! if i didn't see Steve sorry Sir Steve test it i wouldn't believe it!

i should still run another battery right? i want all i can get from it! I'm trying to figure out a way to mount it so you can see the bottom of it. so SEXY! I'm thinking about running it vertical on top of the box on plexi so you can see the top and bottom
