    If you remove the plate amp and send it in to a reputable repair shop, they should be able to diagnose and repair it. FWIW

    The bench fee will be more than it's worth to repair them unfortunately...

    What would you suspect it would cost in your experiences Roof?

    Bench fees alone are usually $125-150. You might save a little with two. Depending on where you are, you can find an SVS PB 1000 for 350-400, and that will trounce both of your current subs put together. I would go in that direction.

    Do tell brother, where are you finding that sub so cheap? I see them for 800 on amazon.
