Velodyne Subwoofer Problem?

Yes it was on Auto and ON. The unit burned up. You can smell the toasted electronics thru the paper woofer. At 100 lbs this thing is difficult to ship for repairs. The standard Velodyne packaging is pathetic. I have to build a wooden crate to protect my investment, or whats left of it anyway.

Heruty, unless I missed something in my 12 yrs designing electronics, burning-in allows the components to form their initial resting place, or value if you will. Which should be very close to their original starting place (else why have designers). Burning-in may affect the sound slightly, but should'nt have anything to do with a unit burning-up! Except maybe where it concerns infant mortality of the components. Audiophiles burn-in to improve sound, but they are also finding out if the unit is going to last. If electronics make it thru the first 30 hrs of so, they usually run just fine for years. Concerning the low pass? I don't understand your suggestion. If you set the low pass higher, your sub uses more power, not less.
