Hey guys long time no see. Quick question about a home theater sub. I just came into possession of my fathers old a/d/s/ MS3 subwoofer. Problem is, he gave it to me because it doesnt work. The standby light on the back of the sub comes on, but when a signal is put on any of its inputs, the sub wont fire anymore.
As I cannot pinpoint the specific problem, and there is not much information about it from google, I guess my question is: "Is it worth trying to fix this thing?"
Thanks for the input even though its slightly offtopic.

I you take the woofer out of the enclosure, you can test to see if the voice coil is fried or if any of the connections are loose/disconnected.
Can you do that?

There are 2 main issues at hand to test here.
1. Does the sub coil show a resistance value when measured with an ohmeter? (3.5 - 7 ohms)
2a. If yes, the sub is probably good, but the internal amp needs attention.
2b. If no, the sub coil is probably fried. Test the amp with a known good woofer.

Well ty so much for the input guys! Sadly, I was excited to take this thing apart... but I got it to my house, hooked it up to my system, and it worked perfectly. Tested the patch cable he was using for it and it worked too. I take it back to him to find out that one of the grandkids had turned off the subwoofer out from the receiver!

Go figure huh?
How does the sub channel sound in your HT system now?
