If your subwoofer breaks, it may be possible to repair it without having to take it to a repair technician. This article will help you decide whether or not the problem you are experiencing with your subwoofer warrants professional help. Here are some basic guidelines on repair a home theater subwoofer.
Instructions
1. Review the owner's manual. Most manuals have an expansive section of troubleshooting tips.
2. Try to identify the problem with your subwoofer. First, make sure it is plugged in to the right components as well as a power source. Look for any noticeable damage to the speaker. Also make sure none of the wires are loose.
3. See if the subwoofer has a great amount of reverb, then try putting a blanket or piece of carpet beneath it. That may absorb some of the rattling.
4. See if you have a crack in the foam ring around the speaker, known as the surround; it will create a distorted buzz. An easy fix for this problem is taping the crack with electrical tape or covering the crack with a rubber-like epoxy. You can easily find either of these at your local hardware store.
5. Locate the subwoofer fuse. Check to see if it is blown, and replace it if necessary.
6. Buzzing sounds may be coming from another power source. Check to see that there are no other large appliances that are plugged into the same outlet or breaker. If there are, plug the subwoofer into its own power source
7. Give the manufacturer a call. Companies employ many highly skilled technicians who can either be sent to your house or walk you through a fix over the phone.
