It was working fine for two ro three years and suddenly it popped the fuse.
I replaced it and the new one popped as soon as power was applied.
I e-mailed SVS and am waiting to see what to do next.
I am bummed without my sub.:(
I have the amp out now and do not see anything obvious and I am trying to find a price online to see how much this will set me back.:confused:

I'll post up my progress for anyone who cares.

    BIZILL, whats up?
    I have been busy with other things lately. I still enjoy my system but just don't spend much time on here.


    SVS contacted me and I have sent them payment for a new amp. $277.?? for an amp with shipping.
    The sent me instructions on how to replace it.

    The thing that gets me is it has been plugged in to my PS audio power conditioners this whole time.

    I hate when amps go out like that.... after three years you would think an amp would last longer. but subwoofer amps seem to die quite often.. not just that brand but other's as well.

    I sure hope the replacement lasts longer.

    So the new amp showed up and it did not work.
    I started to freak out thinking my processor fried so I hooked it up to the subs in my RT3000's. It worked fine and sounded pretty good.
    I e-mailed SVS and they had me check the woofers with a 9v battery and they were fine.
    So they sent me another amp with a return address label to return the defective one.
    The second amp worked fine.
    Now I am using the SVS and my RT3000 subs together and my system is back to awesome.
