    The plate amp has failed. You should call Polk about service, but I can tell you the plate amps are back ordered.

    Typically, unless it is a fuse? The whole plate amp is replaced.

    It is also most likely outside of the warranty period as well. FWIW.

    The amplifier comes with a three year warranty, send an email to: Kim.Jasper@soundunited.com for assistance.

    Calm down man. We are trying to help you out.

    "Polk Audio issues its manufacturer's warranty extending to 2 years for electronic products and 5 years for passive Loudspeakers through an authorized dealer."

    Yes, really.

    [EDIT-] But it turns out that yours comes with a 3 year warranty as expressed by Ken.

    Even under warranty, the entire plate amp is usually replaced. That's pretty normal across the board.

    Well, you can use your system without a sub.

    If your friend can fix anything then he should be able to figure out what the issue may be, but that would definitely void any warranty, so contact Polk first.

    I really don't think you want us to thrust you.
