Any use for parts from my DOA subwoofer/amp? [bandwidth?] - jimbrady - 07-25-2007
Aspire Digital is out of business.
The thing looks perfect, just doesn't work. Here are some pics (part of my Woot Bag of Crap):
50 watt sub with a nice looking dome, 150 watt amp (and a rather huge heat sink protruding rearward)... I like the included cables and atennae (though I don't really need them).

I could certainly find some usage, but how about trying to diagnose it first? Besides, it's pretty heavy to ship...
Find where the fuses are. There's probably a few inside, break it open and take a look. Also look for any charring, black, explosions, ect.

My not old KLH sub/amp develped a screech when my Roomba came near. Cost me $12 to drop off at dump.

What a piece of crap! Sorry, I just couldn't resist.

This is good advice, though I'm wary of wasting more of my time on this thing I really don't need. The main fuse seems fine, if I find others inside, will I be able to find/replace them?

Given that it's heavy.
Given that it's been handled been OTR.
I'd look for loose plugs and that sort of thing inside along with fuses .
Bag o crap. still a better return than the typical lottery ticket.

Ok, last time...
Stip the electronics, wire the woofer directly to an external amp.

It is an interesting unit from looking at places that still have it in stock. AM/FM tuner and a 150 W 5 channel amp in a subwoofer? It could be the center for a kids computer surround system. Someone has priced them with a $165 BIN. http://search.ebay.com/120137092455
If I got one in a BOC, I would spend at least a little time hunting for a service manual or a circuit diagram to troubleshoot it, but I like tinkering with electronics.

Two major parts- the amp and the driver (the actual cone and magnet part). At least one of them should still be good. Figure out which one it isn't, sell the other.

Hmm. I'd enjoy the challenge of fixing it... except only if I were successful.
