My Wharfedale Subwoofer went dead some time ago. I handed the same over to one authorised service centre for other brands of audio equipment. The service centre owner informed me that the power supply of the S/W has burned out. Now it is almost a year, and he has not been able to get the necessary components to replace the burnt-out parts.
Help is caught to find a solution to bring the subwoofer back to life. Please suggest if it can be repaired by replacing the entire circuit plate, if yes, where can I get it in NCR. If an external amplifier can solve the purpose, details of the same like brand, price and availability.
Thanks in advance.

Unless there is a sentimental value to use the same subwoofer, evaluate the costs to repair / replace parts and then consider options like the cost of new sub or alternatively search for a pre owned one which works for you in terms of size, performance and effective costing.

would it be a wise decision to spend a whopping 42K for the revival of a subwoofer which can be replaced with a new one at almost the same price?

Would suggest to compare the specs freq size etc and warranty aspects and then take a call. Bottomline you should like the performance of the sub and hence audition is very imp

There are other lower spec versions of the Crown. This is the one I am using. When I bought it, it was 30000 odd rupees. My sub cost me 90000 rupees.

You could take a look at the cheaper options to see if it works for you or buy a new sub. I wanted to convey that external amps with DSP work quite well with active subs whose plates are broken.
