I think that it was probably a potentially susceptible part in the sub that got pushed over the edge by the recent electrical hiccups you've had.
Thanks for the feedback. Is the surge protection provided by a typical APCC backup battery then not sufficient to protect equipment then such as this case? I had it plugged into the surge protection only socket instead of the surge+battery socket (I saw no reason to keep the sub running during a power outage). Could this have made a difference?

What other reasonable steps could be taken to help prevent this in the future? I know there are super-high end power conditioners and so forth, but it has to make financial sense (not going to buy a $1000+ power protector to cover a $500 sub, etc).
