Anyone good with speaker repair?
somunny:
$90 isn't that bad, though I had a Cambridge Soundworks sub repaired for $50 by the factory techs.
ChadTower:
Subs are easier, far far easier, to diagnose than a 5.1 integrated amp.
If I were you I'd check the cables and test the setup on another source. It could easily be a bad cable or input/output jack.
Jess--:
most cambridge soundworks subs Are the integrated 5.1 amp (they just chuck it all in the same box as the sub)
The Megaworks range have a very nasty habit of frying the the high current side of their power supply, I would not be at all surprised if that was not what the fault was with somunny's speakers that he had fixed.....
Me... I'm a cheapskate and I just wired in my own high current supply to bypass their cheap under-rated design

Only the lower end ones are. I have two Cambridge Soundworks subs that don't have any encoding or decoding. Just an internal crossover (that I don't use), a power supply, and a speaker. The good subs they, and pretty much anyone except Bose, makes are not integrated.

I have a CSW SP1, 150 watt subwoofer that's part of the Movie Works 5.1 set. Great unit. I've had it and the rest of the set since 1998 and have never had the desire to buy a newer system. Plus, CSW's customer service has never failed me. Solid organization, IMO.
Replacing the sub with a newer one from CSW would have run me around $500 - $600 so I was very pleased with their repair rates.
