in Troubleshooting
good morning, happy eastern and happy quarentine. I live in the suburbs of Argentina and I am a very happy owner of a PSW 110 which I love. But...apparently I had a problem with the speaker and it sounds bad. like a frying pan. I would like to dissasembly to see if something got in, or need to replace the sub, but I need to know how to do it. Can somebody help me here?

    In all likelihood, yes. Plate amp failures are fairly common.

    Hello,
    In all likelihood the problem is with the bass amplifier. To remove, first unplug the AC power cord, then remove the screws that go around the circumference of the amplifier's input plate. Then use a putty knife to loosen up the plate from the enclosure, once loose you should be able to remove the bass amplifier. There will be a red wire and a black wire that go from the amplifier to the 10" woofer. The wires have Faston type connectors which can be loosened and puled off the woofer's terminals.

    Not necessarily, you should check with your local dealer to see what options they might suggest. Repairing is possible.

    Are you insinuating that the girl you used to work with may be responsible for his subwoofer problems?

    Hi, it's me again. I found the problem and it was pretty simple to solve. As you recall my subwoofer continued doing noises while it was off. And as Kenneth said it was the amplifier, so, I changed the 2 capacitors 63Volts, 47 microfaradays, located in the middle of the plate and problem solved!!! 1.5us$ total cost. yes, less than 2 dollars. Many thanks and regards
