Anyone has a schematic or service manual for any DSW-Micropro subs?

Been a long time fan and never really had much issues with any of my Polk Audio speakers and subs until recently. My MPK1000 just burned 4 of the 6 bigger resistor in the amp board, preamp section and power supply are still good, my MPK2000 keeps blowing fuse on the power supply and burned the 2 variable resistors in the amp section. My MPK4000 still works good however it now has a hum and whenever I turn it on and off there will always be a mild pop and a second louder pop. I can repair stuff but will need a schematic, does anyone here know where can I get one?

I'll ask a friend at Polk for information.

That’s unfortunate. By all accounts those were polks best performing (and most expensive!) subs ever. However, it seems the company absolutely cannot be trusted to make any powered gear that will function properly and actually last…

The DSW-Micropro 1000 and 2000 actually lasted for more than 10 years of use for watching movies, took good care of it and volume level is always at 30/40 and levels on the receiver is set to 0, room correction is always set to corner. I have switched outlets so these subs are never left on standby. My Micropro 4000 is used for music in my separate room combined with a pair of RTi A7 still works but pops twice whenever it gets turned on and off. I know I already got my moneys worth on them but I want to prolong their life as as they don’t get any better in Polks line of subs.
For anyones curiosity I attached a snapshot of both the DSW-Micropro 1000 and 2000 amp board.

When you review the schematic I am curious of what's going on what i marked on the board with yellow box.

Those are 2 Thyristors that were glued to the backplate they measure a good 250 and 229 ohms.

SF, could not find the schematic anywhere 😅

TX, thyristors are there, values I gave are from my multimeter they were just soldered at the back of the pcb board
.
I am still awaiting for the schematics, it might have just been stuck somewhere you know how internet traffic is, never instant. I just pulled the 4 big resistor and there is 1 small badly burnt one.
-
Is that in red good? Looks (from my perspective) like it got hot.
-
All the diodes checked out good that is just probably my lighting, just can’t figure the real value of those 4 identical resistors in the middle, from what I see is black brown black a 1 ohm resistor plus minus 20% since it does not have a 4th band just looking at it it’s very odd. checked it with my multimeter and I don’t get any reading same in my LCR meter as t cannot be identified. Hopefully anyone can help me!

Are you lifting one of the resistor's leads from the circuit board before measuring the resistance?

Yes, that is what I did first before even deciding to pull them out of the board. no reading in diode mode, and no reading when multimeter is set in resistance mode both at 200 and 2k.

I guess they're open. What is the part number?

I have a dsw micropro 1000 too that suddenly completely stopped working - no lights nothing, fuse ok and power getting in. before I poke around components can someone please share a schematic?
-
Hello,
Welcome, I'll ask. -
Email with schematic sent.
-
Can you send me the schematics also? I have a broken board on my DSW micropro 1000. Thanks

@SeleniumFalcon HI - I also have a broken board on my DSW micropro 1000
Can you send me the schematic? -

@SeleniumFalcon can you please send this to me as well? I'm surprised to have found this active and recent thread, I thought it would be much more difficult to find. Thank you friend -

Unfortuntaely the power supply on my MicroPro 3000 unit appears to be dead since there is no voltage on the power supply output leads.
@SeleniumFalcon, I would greatly appreciate a copy of the schematic. Thanks! -

I have a DSW micropro4000 and after a move 3 yrs ago cross country my sub blew fuses. Used original shipping box and all my equipment came thru fine but the sub. Doesn’t work. Any suggestions? My Polk SDS SRS 2.3 still rock.
Maybe if I had a schematic, I could get somebody local here in the Tampa Bay area to look at it. -
Hello,
Welcome!
I've sent the schematics. Good luck with the repair. -
Hey Ken will Polk allow posting a thread with all the subwoofer Polk amp schematics?
This may negate 90% of customer issues- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -
@SeleniumFalcon, I could also use a copy of the schematic, please. Specifically looking for DSW-2000. Thanks in advance!
