OK, I have a Harman Kardon 12" sub (from their HTIB) that is not working. I have tried two recievers, and three different cables and nothing is coming out. The light is on, but it is not recieving signal. With that said, I feel comfortable assuming it is the sub that is having the issue. Any other ideas welcome.
As a side note, I took the plate amp off last night and was fairly impressed with it. It had what appeared to be a large transodial power supply.
So, I figure I have a few options:
1) Try and fix the plate amp
2) Replace the plate amp with another like amp or a seperate amp like the Behringer A500.
3) Build a new sub with a new amp (most likely sperate) :T
The Boss doesn't let me play the system very loud so I am not looking for a monster sub and I don't want to spend a fortune. I am very interested in SQ and having a solid sub that can perform and that I can turn up at times when the Boss is not around.
Any suggestions on fixing the amp?
If I do either 2 or 3, should I also purchase an EQ?
I was hoping to ask for parts to build a new set of speakers for presents this year, but perhaps a new sub is in store.
If I do 3, would you recommend a box sub or a sono sub. I do have a decent amount of space (I will have to measure it) behind our couch to place this sub. There is also a nice place in the front right corner of the room to fit something.
I know there are a lot of questions here, so to help I am leaning toward 2, but number 3 is not out.
TIA,
Eric
