Title: Sub Stopped Working?
Post by: Matt_Mk4 on 27 February 2009, 08:22: Hi guys,

My sub just randomly stopped working on the way to work this morning

I didn't have it on loud, and it just stopped!

I had a look at the back of it - all the wires were in tact, but the power light wasn't on!

Any ideas?

Easy to check this out, just plug a headphone jack to rca lead into the amp and a portable cd/md/mp3 player, switch it all on and see if it works. If your HU is under warranty it'll be a free repair although you'll probably have to live without it for 2 weeks, if its out of warranty it'll prob cost £50-100 to get it sent away and fixed.
