did i blow my new revel b-15 sub (1 Viewer)

[Scot Pritchard]

Hi every one i just got a new b-15 sub two days ago well last night i was watching lotr and it was sounding pretty good but after the cave troll scene it just stoped working the light is on in back but no sound i was only listening at -10 on my system not even at ref levels. i was told by the sales man that this would be the last sub i would ever buy. so i had to hook back up my trusted svs 20-39cs sub and no problems. what could of happened to the b-15 i never had this problem with the svs and that was only 700.00 compared to 2500.00.

Are there any fuses in the plate amp?

 

[Lee Carbray]

It may have a thermal shut down as well if it gets to hot. Try it now and it may work again since it has cooled down.

i never had this problem with the svs and that was only 700.00 compared to 2500.00.

IMO: Spending more money, in and of itself, does not guarantee higher reliability and/or performance.

if the above takes care of your problem but you find that the problem persists, return it and tell the saleman that he was right. it's the last one i'm gonna buy...from you.

 

[John Royster]

I'd agree. The rels can take a lot of abuse. I'd return it to the dealer for further testing or replacement.

my kid's got an svs, don't recall the model. it's certainly a capable sub, but damn, it's just so big and ugly...like my sister in law

i did blow the amp an the woofer!!! didnt have the eq set right and caused some sort of weird notch filter that the amp couldnt handle.

 

[Chu Gai]

that covered under warranty?

 

[Scot Pritchard]

yes they should have a new woffer and amd by tuesday and they are bringing to my house to set it up for me that pretty good service i think

 

[John Royster]

Scott,

Could explain a little more how the damage could occur or what your dealer told you?

I'm curious.

 

[Scot Pritchard]

he told me i had the eq on the sub set wrong and it was causing a certain nitch filter and the amp was trying to compensate for it and thats what caused it.

 

[Chu Gai]

somehow that explanation sounds peculiar but glad to hear it's going to be taken care of.

 

[Scot Pritchard]

i was thinking i should just tell them to give my money back and then get a svs ultra.

 

[Frank Carter]

Hell for that price you could get the dual Ultra package and Rane Pe-17 eq.
