Polk Audio Powered Sub - maybe 12 inch, cant find a model number, purchased from FutureShop and had a 9 year warranty but they went out of business and its has a consistent heartbeat ticking sound unless you turn it off, also it has static buzzing and will appear to come one and off. PSW125, I see that several other people have the same issue, what can I do to get this repaired??

    The cause of the problem is a failed bass amplifier which would need to be repaired or replaced. I believe there are service facilities in Canada, send an email message to: [email protected] he should be able to send you contact information. It might take a day or two to get a response.

    Emailed Kim a month ago. His response was:

    This is usually caused by a defective 47uF cap in the signal path.
    Digi-Key does stock a replacement capacitor.
    The part number is 495-6019-ND.
    Hope this helps.

    I followed up asking if I can send this anywhere and received no reply.

    Is Kim a Polk employee?

    Needless to say, this did not help solve my issue.

    He did help you, he told you what you can do to repair it. If you aren't comfortable doing that then take it to your local electronics repair shop.

    I'm on my fourth PSW125 power amp in 9 years. I'm done.

    Hi team.
    Anyone know who I can speak to over here in New Zealand to have this issue addressed? I see on a few other discussions people in the US have been calling the Customer Service team and seem to be having good luck with their replacements.
