Subwoofers: Do you turn them off when you are done for the day?

No.

My JL Audio subs go into sleep mode automatically after the music stops.

I unplug everything when there is a thunderstorm.

So they say to leave the amp on to extend the life huh. What a load. Guess they never heard of shelf life. The more it's on the sooner it'll wear out

Svs subs go into standby if no signal after 10 minutes or so ,

I never turned mine off .

So good, you said it twice…..

Totally logical. With subs the weakest link is the transformer if it’s left on all the time. Particularly with Rel l have noticed this. My first Rel Quake went that way. Transformers hum all the time, an indication of stress. My girl does that from time to time, and l know what to do before she explodes. I take the load off and say, “what’s winding you up?” If acts just like an off button. No difference with a sub.

By the way, my latest repair was actually this week, and triggered me to reply on this subject. It was for a Seip garage door operator. The transformer…. because for what better reason, it was left on, powered up all the time, even on standby. I never wondered about that piece of equipment even though l have a second door to the garage that l always use before driving the car out.

I’m in the @elliottbnewcombjr camp all the way. If it has an off button it’s there for a reason. BEWARE…. If there isn’t one, then it could possibly be a design intent for inbuilt time redundancy by the manufacturer.
