Why is it so hard to get a schematic PSW202?????????????

It seems there is a common issue for the Polk Audio Sub PSW202. Blowing fuses. In the articles I have read it seems the common issues are the large electrolytic caps. Right beside the the Large caps there is a smaller cap on my unit that is blown. C24. Can anyone give me the value of this cap? Does anyone have any theories to why it blew? I can not find any schematics on the web. Also was wondering why you can't find them. Thanks for any help.

    I called them and they were kind enough to send a schematic. I replaced the the large caps, and the IC. Now when I plug it in it burns resistor R12. Any ideas?

    Have you considered having a professional repair shop take a look?

    I dunno man, seems to me that's a sign to buy a new one, or better used one. For what a shop would charge to fix it, add a couple bucks and grab a 505 sub.
