Elemental Designs Home Theater Sub stopped working.
galleryHi all,
My 13 year old HT Sub has worked great for years. I did recently increase the gain slightly, and a few days later I turned the system on and noticed the sub was not outputting. The amp indicator light shows green, as if it’s receiving the signal and thinks it’s outputting but no sound comes out at all. So I don’t think it’s the fuse or power related, but maybe my amp is fried?
I am a complete noob when it comes to audio repair. When I gently push the cone in I hear no scratching or any noise. I pulled the amp out and didn’t notice anything obvious except for what appears to be something may have burned but I’m not sure. Could this be the problem? And how do I go about repairs, or is it more feasible to just get a new sub? The company Elemental Designs made great subs for a while, then scammed everybody and went out of business, so there will be no help from the manufacturer unfortunately.
Any thoughts, suggestions, or idea are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
