have a jvc power subwoofer..was hiding cords under carpet when i think i speared it with a carpet nail..i had no power from the sub after that...i replaced the system cable...still nothing..any advice on what to do next...called jvc..opinion was that the sub was probably damaged at the same time..to buy a new one about 100 hundred bucks...should i just go for it? system is a thm45...has been great until now..so much for hiding cables!! |

I cant imagine spearing a cable can damage the sub unless you powered it on with the damaged cable. You could use this opportunity to upgrade to a better subwoofer. Here are some alternatives:
Dayton 10", $124, partsexpress.com
Athena AS P4000, $150, amazon.com
Onix X-sub, $199, av123.com
Mirage S8, $199, vanns.com
You might want to use the maximum allowable crossover setting. |

It seems more likely to have damaged the source, possibly a fuse?
I have done this myself, Garry. Bank down a tack rail onto a pre-cable. The equipment did live, though.
Try the sub on another source? |
