RE: Troubleshooting suggestions for a subwoofer plate amp?

Posted by rivervalley817 on July 22, 2020 at 12:45:25:
hmm, well that's enough to cause harmonic distortion under a load and could be enough to put the voice coil out of gap

what became of the original woofer? I think they used pretty nice drivers
with a cast frame and metalized cone?

if that stopped working there's probably enough DC output to fry voice coils happening

then the amp would need [at least] filter caps replaced ... not expensive but a pain in the rear

let's see if Fred or airtime weighs in

regards,
