I know thats a lot of info so thanks for your time and any advice is appreciated.Ĭlick to expand.I had a good look at this yesterday. HSU (just heard accolades from this forum) 8" 10" or 12" powered sub, crossover, dont know much about radiator design (active vs passive) and what would be optimal for my usage. Im looking for tight, clean, punchy bass. Use is primarily TV, Movies, Video Games not so much music and parties anymore getting old blows. I dont have the time or means (tools) to mess around with them myself (pulling apart the cabinetry etc) so if you were me would you get a new sub or pay to get 5+ year old speakers fixed? Seems like itd be an obvious answer. Im just guessing, but I think it could cost me upwards of around $500 to get them fixed. The mids and tweets are fine so Im keeping them for the time being, but I dont have any bass. And while Ive replaced fuses on car audio amps before this looks a bit more difficult. Im not exactly sure what happened, if the fuse blew or what. I never got around to replacing them due to financial constraints.
