    Anything can be fixed, what's wrong with it? The questions is.........is it worth getting fixed? Labor and parts might cost quite a bit more than the unit is worth and with the money spent to fix it you could buy something nicer. But, if it has sentimental value or you really really like it perhaps it's worth it.

    Also, welcome to Club Polk. What speakers do you have?

    im not 100% shure, i think they are the same ones that the seller has because when my dad got his everything came in a set. it has a 12" sub and a passive one on each speaker. i think each also has two mids and one dome tweet but im not shure.

    how good of a amp is this? i think my dad said it has 0.01%THD and over 100WPC. what would it cost for a new (or used ) amp about like this that worked?
