I am new to polk. Bought a PSW 125 from Circuit City 2 days ago and it keeps blowing fuses. I looked at the one it came with and was a 1.6a 250V fuse. Went to Radio Shack and got the same fuse. Each one blows before it even gets to play. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Sounds like a dead short to ground. You could look around to see if you can see a short, but to be honest I would not bother. Do you have a receipt? Contact Polk CS 9 AM to 10:30PM, Monday - Friday, Eastern Standard Time at 1-866-764-1801. Technical Support can be reached 9 AM to 5:30 PM, Monday - Friday, Eastern Standard Time at 1-800-377-7655.

    The reason I say I would not bother is I have seen more than a couple posts with defective products from the CC close out. Did the box look like it was opened before? Could just be normal bad luck and defective, but I get the impression that the liquidators are also reselling any and all inventory even things that were returned to CC before the sale as defective. Maybe CC did a bad job keeping the inventory separate, I certainly do not know. But my bitterness towards the corporate world and huge greed with lack of integrity makes me feel like the liquidators know and do not care.
    Sorry for the rant:mad: But do give Polk a call.

    Thanks. I do have the receipt. I'll try and get a hold of them tomorrow.

    I had the same problem with my PSW125 (although I had a hell of a time trying to find a 1.6a fuse)...

    Basically - I think there's a technical issue with a lot of PSW125's... Polk CS just told me to send mine in for repair - and it will be covered under warranty.
