My Onkyo sub died on me and I was hoping for some helpful tips to diagnose the problem.
Here's what happened, my sub was working great BOOM BOOM while I play Battlefield Bad Company 2. Then all the sudden no more bass. Maybe the speaker popped during a loud explosion but I didn't notice.
The sub currently can detect when there is a signal going to it from my amp and switches between red and green lights like it should. There is no sound coming from the amp at all. The speaker doesn't pop or click when you touch the input.
So I took the back plate off and tried to check around. Nothing on either of the boards I found inside look burnt. The circuits and caps look fine when I gave them a quick inspection. I checked 2 or 3 fuses that I could find for resistance and didn't see any issues.
I also checked the - and + of the RCA input on the back of the sub by finding the 4 pin connector on the little circuit board that's attached to the RCA port and back plate (sorry I don't know what this piece is called, please enlighten me). Everything appeared to be fine on this piece as well.
I do not smell anything thing remotely close to a burnt smell coming from the sub.
Any help on what I should be looking for or what I can test next would be great.
Sorry if I have missed any posts on how to do this, I used the search function but didn't turn up any promising leads. I'll keep searching while I wait for an answer here.
Thank you all in advance!
