I have what I'm guessing is an early NHT SubOne Sub that got hit with a lightening strike surge. Remote Controller lights up when an audio signal is sent to it, but no sound. Does anyone know if there is a fuse inside the Sub Cabinet? Later models have access to a fuse at the AC plug-in.

Removed the Plate Amp. Plate Amp is a Sunfire, great build. One of the 3 fuses was blown. Replaced it. Very large hum when I turned it back on, and it is now dead again :( If I take it to a repair shop that is probably $200 if they can fix it. $300 for a new Plate Amp - that won't be a direct bolt up. Or just a new REL sub. I'm in no hurry to solve my problem. Just wish I didn't have my audio system on when the Lightening Strike occurred. Lesson learned, turn everything OFF when a severe thunderstorm rolls in. Insurance is not going to cover all of the repair bills, but it will help.

Turning the gear off will not solve the problem. You MUST sever any connections - all AC cords and even the cable TV coax must be disconnected. Only then will you have complete isolation from a lightning strike...

I'll say correct. Unplug every connection. In my case it was only some of the devices that were turned ON that got smoked, and one that was OFF that was plugged include a surge device that was in the OFF position.

Is the red LED in protect mode?
Doesn't that model have a stand along controller?
If so, you will need to check if the controller blew OR the plate amp.

Yes, it does have the separate Controller with the long control cable, which is very nice. The LED lights up on the Controller, but there is no sound. I guess I have to take it apart. Hopefully there is just a fuse inside that is blown. Otherwise a new plate amp from Dayton Audio or just a new REL sub.
Make sure it's the plate amp first.
Also consider a Kieger from Madisound.
Here's a link to an online manual. Yes it does have a fuse!
My sub is identical to the one in the manual you referenced, with the exception that the power cord connection is 2-prong not 3-prong. The 3-prong plastic cover supposedly comes off and exposes the fuse. The plastic cover on my 2-prong sub is fixed. So I'm now assuming that I have to pull the complete plate amp our and look for the fuse.
