Cannot plug my Subwoofer back in


This just happened Friday evening so I cannot call Sunfire until Monday. But until then, what do you think? I'm futs'n around on the floor near the subwoofer with the tuner on at a very, very low volume. I hear, not a hum but a strange sound coming from the sub. Shut the tuner off, and it sounds like, not a hum, but a airy hollow sound. Very low, but audible when close to the sub. Before this episode, always dead quiet while system on, and nothing playing. Can't hear this strange echoish sound when the system is on playing music and the noise doesn't change when the volume is raised. OK, so what do I do? I can't figure out what's going on. The sub has its own dedicated line and has been a very happy camper for 14 months. I pull the plug out of the wall just to examine and when I put it back in the wall: a loud vrooom from the sub. Dead. Check the slow blow 4 amp fuse in the back. Blown. Put in another fuse, plug back in: Vroom. Blown. OK, shut integrated off totally, plug sub into a different outlet with extension. Same thing. Keeps blowing the fuse. Sub is 14 months old. Never pushed. Anybody have an idea? Something for me to obsess about 'til Monday. Could I have a short ciruct or something like that in the sub? Any ideas would be appreciated. I'm not as depressed as I thought I'd be, YET. My Revels are holding their own. Thanks guys. peace, warren

NO TAKERS? I don't blame ya. This is one crazy thing. It's probably an internal short. As to how or why?--beats me. It kills me, after only 14 months of very conservative listening, this should happen. I hear Revels sub, as well, had some internal short problems. Go figure. After I talk to Sunfire, Monday, and get some direction I may feel better. Thanks for listening. peace, warren
Hello Warren,
It's the cut and greened CD's Buscis2 has been moding for you. Apparently the powerful and extended bass was more than the Sunfire could handle.The Positronic relay (the same one they use in most of the starships) is probably jammed in "D" and needs to be sent back to Sunfire for servicing. No big deal sit back and smoke a fatty like others on this site have suggested, Sunfire will be open Monday. I once tore the magnet clean off the cone assembly on a Sunfire. The guys at Audio Etc here in CT said they never saw any thing like it. I told them they haven't tried one of Buscis2's high resolution modded CD's with extended bass emphasis. Sunfire stood behind the piece. Well at least you got your mind off the CD recordings that SUX.
