  • How do you even order psw125 parts. My backplate is burnt again. I replaced my original one with a perfect match but I'm really bummed my second one is done. I have an entirely Polk system with denon 5.2 receiver. My downfacing sub never misses a beat but this darn 125 just doesn't seen nearly as reliable but boy does it sound good paired with a downfacing polk sub...awesome!

    This just ain't right.
    Had 5 of my 7 subs fail on my Infinity Prelude MTS'.

    What sucks is they're no longer supported.
    Will try to help someone else keep theirs up and running, I'll be parting them out.

    Other thing that stinks is I have 7 MTS towers with no sub to match with.

    I'm moving on and cutting my losses.
    What a shame, these were some sweet speakers.
    So sad......

    Hope you get your subs taken care of.

    If you think PSW125 sounds good, you haven’t done enough shopping around. It is also well-known for reliability issues.

    Get something different/better.

    SVS subs are not immune from plate amp failures.
