Hi-Fi Help?

[Jeff]

My home cinema subwoofer is broke :( Does anyone have any suggestions of where I can get another one for minimum bucks (under £80) as I'm a bit skint :rolleyes:

Richer Sounds have some good cheap ones but their out of stock (as per bleedin' usual) :mad:

BTW does anyone want the remains of the old one to see if they can fix it? The sub is pretty gutsy and used to make the house shake :D I've took it to bits to see if I could fix it and the cones themselves are pretty large and heavy, they could possibly be put to some other good use. If you were a serious bass head I guess you could even put them in your car :eek:

Any suggestions appreciated :)

I like to think I'm pretty good with electrics :)

Are there any obvious broken wires/blown bits in there mate?

[Jeff]

Nope, it looks pretty simple really but I think some of the little components are knackered rather than the solder/connections breaking on anything.

Initially the volume knob was just making the thing hiss as you turned it, then eventually it stopped doing anything. I reckon it's that bit wots broken. There's another bit that changes the output frequency and that's stopped doing anything to. :(

I very scientifically poked random bits with a screwdriver to no avail :rolleyes:

There's a good shop in Bath the fixes Hi-fi stuff. It's called Maple Audio and it's up on Bear Flat.

If it's only summat simple that's gone might be a lot cheaper to take it there :)

[Jeff]

Cheers Pete, I'll put it back together again and try taking it up there :)

Thanks Gaz, I'll have a browse of that site and see if I can find anything :)
