Being that there is a ton of internal vibration, and heat generated in a more sealed enclosure due to driving such low frequencies in a subÂ… its not that surprising.. But there are better amps that could rectify this I am sure, however most are pretty cheap, newer digital designs probably fair better in the long run as well, they draw less power, next to Zero heat, and the components being much less are probably less sensitive than the standard A-B type designed boards.
On-board subwoofer amps - limited shelf life ?
Both me and my hi-fi godfather purchased subwoofers for 2-channel systems in 2000, I got a PSB Subsonic 5, he got a Monitor Audio FB 210 for his Monitor Audio speakers.
Both our subwoofers failed this year, mine a victim of a power surge, his blown up by his teenager sons.
Are subwoofer amps worth replacing/difficult to replace? Do we have to go up to the REL/Velodyne level to get a longer lasting sub? Anybody have good things to say about Von Schweikerts, James, or Supercubes? Thanks ahead of time.
