"No user servicable parts"
Posted: Tue Feb 14, 2006 11:54
I was not liking the sound of my subwoofer so I decided to take it apart and see if I could find a crossover control of some kind. Being a "computer" subwoofer (read: crap), it was not meant to be taken apart... ever... There was a sticker on the bottom that read "Do not open", "No user servicable parts inside" and "Don't touch the capacitors or you will die" but I opened it up anyway. I got it into 6 or 7 peices when I decided there was nothing inside to play with so I put it back together.
Lesson 1: Sound equipment is sensitive.
When I got it put back together and plugged in, it made a very unpleasant noise and began to smell like fish. I'm not sure what happened to it (I happenend to it), but it no longer functions properly. I put it in the back room with all the other stuff I have taken apart and/or smells like fish and now I'm subwooferless.
I looked around on the internet and found the subwoofer that goes with my speakers (Infinity HTS-20) and grabbed one off ebay. Hopefully this 10" sub will be better than my 4" sub. This one is a home theater model instead of a crap "computer" thing. It should be here in 3 days or so. My sound rig isin't worth listening to without anything below 150Hz, except maybe chiptunes...
