    That Chinese "yellow glue" is said to turn brown and to become conductive. Not good.

    Check your photos again. The first photo, you circled a capacitor instead of the place where something (Q8?) blew up in the 2nd photo.

    On that vertical board it looks like some of the yellow glue has turned brown. That's a suspicious spot.

    Agree.

    Once again, I agree. I see no transistor in the photo.

    Hello
    Yes I did take off the transistor but for sure it's called Q8 and is seat near the mentioned capacitor (circle around)

    Ahh ok I see now. You clipped the leads rather than desoldered.

    I know you say it is unreadable but could you post pictures of the transistor?

    What is the model # of the Polk subwoofer, ie. PSW3000? Maybe they have the schematic or can tell you the transistor part # @SeleniumFalcon

    By any chance are you trying to say DSW MicroPro 3000 (not micro sdw 3000) ?

    Looks like there may have been a general schematic available but will that specify what the component specs are is the next question:

    I have sent the schematic for the DSW series amplifiers, however there isn't a Q8.

    Are you sure that is from a DSW MicroPRO 3000 subwoofer? This is a photo of a DSW MicroPRO 3000:

    I don't know if this applies to your board but:

    On board Indigo 640047
    D9 - 1N5253B Diode Zener Single 25V 5% 500mW 2-Pin DO-35
    Q8 - Transistor is a 2n4401
    Resistor next to diode 1 k ohm
