PSW505 12" Powered Subwoofer crackling Noise

I have a Polk Audio PSW505 12" Powered Subwoofer. Ive owned it for 4 years, but have used it probably 50 times. It’s making a crackling noise, doesn’t seem to be the speaker. Seems to be an internal issue. Anyone have the same issue? I paid good money for the product, and I am disappointed the product has failed already.

  • Usually the cause of that kind of problem is related to the bass amplifier, it needs to be either repaired or replaced. It came with a three year warranty so yours is out of the coverage period. Polk offers a replacement amplifier which is easily replaced, it can be ordered at: 1-800-377-7655. You can also have a local service center repair your unit and Polk will supply the schematic drawing if the repair shop doesn't have it.
