I turned on the stereo today and immediately noticed the lack of base. Sub wasn't working at all (no power) so I decided to open up the back. My panic attack was quickly subsided when I saw it was just a blown fuse. After a quick trip to radio shack I thought problem solved, unfortunately 2 fuses later and it appears to be a bigger problem then just a blown fuse.
So, do you think this is fixable or is it time for a new sub??? argg, now's not the time I want to put more money in the home theater but I guess I'll have to one way or another.
Here's more detailed info for those of you that know about this kinda stuff and might be able to help.
- didn't notice the first fuse blow, just noticed sub wasn't working when I turned the stereo on today
- new fuses that blew were rated the same as the old one and they matched the rating stated on the sticker inside the sub
- I replaced the fuse, plugged sub into same (surge protected) power bar, turned power bar on, blew fuse. Repeated procedure with same result. Both times no audio connected.
- Volume has always been kept low cause I live in a condo, I had it set high enough it filled out the sound spectrum but low enough it wasn't shaking the neighbours walls (ugh I can't wait till I can afford a house and crank it up!) so it wasn't abuse that ended it's life.
- sub is a Dahlquist QX10T, an impulse buy a couple years ago before I got interested in Home Theatre. Maybe a lemon? will do a little research before my next purchase, although I'm really hoping I won't be forced into one now...it was working quite well for my purposes.
THANKS!
Michael
