PW-2200 Subwoofer died :[ any hints (1 Viewer)

[Daniel I]

Man! My Sub died AGAIN!

This is the second SUB I have been through. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what could have caused this?

My Paradigm PW-2200 has lost all power. Tested it at another outlet and the same thing occured. This happens when the switch is set to always on or auto off.

I am thinking the amp fuse is gone? Does this make sense? I really do not push my sub at all. Volume is usually no where near reference level. I am really becoming dissappointed with the reliablity of this sub.

Anyone else have problems with the PW-2200?

Thanks for any advice you can spare.

Don't know about the PW-2200, but I used to have a problem of blowing up the fuse on my Servo-15. What I did was to simply put in a slightly higher rated fuse than the one originally being used and have not had a problem since. By the way it has been over 15 months since I did that and so far no problems at all. Whereas earlier I had blown the fuse atleast 3 -4 times over a couple of months.

I wouldn't do it, but putting in a larger fuse is always an option. Depends which device you want to protect most... your sub or the fuse.
