Polk PSW-110 dying

[Shafiqak]

hello everyone

my SW Polk PSW-110 kind of dying day by day, it needs to be running for 30 min to 1 hour to get any output after that, until then it only makes some scratching sound. the amp board was replaced earlier around 5 year ago from service center with same issue. is this repairable at a less cost? if not I might put this on give away thread.

Nowadays, many do only board level repairs or rather replacement. There are hardly any skilled technicians who will check each and every circuit/chip/capacitor on a board due to the want of time. You will need to search for such a repairer locally.

Alternative is to look for a pre owned subwoofer within your budget and sell this off as is for whatever you can get best for it.

Use it with an external subwoofer amplifier

No need to put an end to your subwoofer.
