Power down continued... for Gene
Thanks for the feedback Gene. I am guessing you saw my thread above your most recent. When I was speaking to Gary at EMP I told him what my concern was in regards to not being able to plug this into the recievers power supply and in turn I would have to shut this off manually on a daily basis when not in use. I also informed him that I spoke with one of his techs earlier who mistook my sub for a RBH sub. The RBH subs have a three way power switch I guess with an auto off feature built in. What Gary told me on the E-10s is that this feature is actually built into the power pack itself. He told me ( maybe not word for word ) that after fifteen minutes, if no signal is detected the E-10 powers down and acts only on a very small voltage, enough to detect a signal. I could have misunderstood him, or he might have misunderstood me, but from the sounds of it this is not like the axiom auto switch that you mentioned. I will keep looking into it though. It did strike me as odd though not to mention that as one of the features in the brochure or online. If I knew then what I know now it would definitely be something I would look for. Maybe you could follow up with him about it... It might be worth a new thread to your recent ECA 4/44-sub package review
I just read your quote after sqawking all that off in a novella I will call Nubie reinvented... Anywho, I do not quite know what any of that means, however I am assuming it means that there is no power moving from the transformer or power pack through the rest of the sub. If there is no power being sent through the sub though, doesnt that mean that there is no power being consumed and no energy (heat) being generated through the trasnformer or otherwise? I guess in short what I am asking is this, does this mean there is still ample opportunity for this subs transformer or amp electrics to overheat or suffer from premature death by tazer?
