I have a Martin Logan Abyss sub for my bedroom. This sub has been great for over a year but recently I’ve noticed that the sub was not working properly. I’d get no sound from the sub, at first I would just turn the sub off and turn it back on and problem fixed...great sound. Now I’m getting to me what sounds like feedback from the sub a low humm. I think just maybe I got a wiring problem from my receiver to the sub. Just wanted to know if anyone else has this problem and the correct fix.

    Any updates?? Did you check the connection to the back of your AVR or see if the sub cable is "pinched" anywhere?
