i have a 5 year old jbl 10" sub. it has served me well, until one day, i came home and smelled something burning. i took it apart and noticed some black sooth on the pcb and the 2 large caps blown. should i take it to some repair shop or should i save up for a new sub? i sure hate to see the speaker itself go to waste, but if it would only cost me 50 more to get a new sub, then i'll bite the bullet and put the speaker/box for sale if that's the case. |

or better yet, can i just buy a new electronics component and gut it and put the new guts inside the box and use the same speaker, since the box and speaker looks to be in mint condition. |

Here are some amps. I don't know if any of these will fit your cabinet, but it might be cheaper than getting whole new sub.

thanks mark,
the first post is great, i'll have to cut around the box to fit this new amp thingy. i was trying to find that, cuz i went to the website, but all i could find was a complete setup, the guts, the speaker and box. but the gut is all that i need. thanks. |
