| Oh no! My 25-31 PC+ is dead Just when I was about to buy another, my SVS sub simply stopped playing. Now I'm not sure what to do. I'm not exactly sure when it died because it's on all the time, while watching television at low volume, and listening to music. It's definatly not a fuse unless a blown fuse allows current to flow through the back panel LED. It's definately not the input source....it's simply not playing. Are there any known reliability issues with this sub; I'd be really interested to know. I cannot buy another until I know these subs are reliable. | ||||

Thanks Sonnie. Being electro-mechanical devices, all subwoofers are subject to some level of failure; the cannot be designed 100% reliable. Also, things like rough handling during shipping can contribute to an immediate or delayed failure over time. Regardless, it's how a company handles a failure which really matters. We have very fast tech support and parts replacement with comprehensive instructions and our customers are back to thumping in days, not weeks or months with some OEMs which require the owner to drop-off the sub to an authorized repair facility or ship it back to the factory.

| Re: Oh no! My 25-31 PC+ is dead Will give tech support a call tomorrow. My concern about the reliability issue comes from hearing the new ultra models were discovered to have an amplifier problem which delayed and or halted production. I received that information from someone I'd recommended to check into the new box ultra. I was wondering if a similar reliability issue has been discovered with mine. My sub is on occasion pushed fairly hard, but never driven to audible distortion or to the end of excursion. In other words, it's used responsibly. While I've not removed the driver to check if the voice coil is damaged, i.e. checking for that scraping sound when pushing gently on the cone, I cannot imagine the problem being there and more likely in the amplifier or a connectivity issue. This sub is approximately one year old and has performed well although recently I felt its performance has fallen off a bit. This could simply be that I'm now accustomed to its fantastic performance and now simply want more...which leads to another topic/question.....would dual 25-31 PC+ units perform as well as a single PB-13 Ultra? My room is a bit difficult to describe since we have an open floor plan; where the listening area begins and ends would include the kitchen. Defining the room boundaries at doorways, the room volume is approximately 7000 ft^3. | ||||

| Re: Oh no! My 25-31 PC+ is dead All 5 of the new line... MTS-01 in Rosenut... Im not one to mix and match, although, as this system is for my bedroom, and my bed is against the rear wall, I am thinking about in-ceiling's for rear surround... I am looking for good suggestions in this dept... I'll start a new thread... Last edited by Warpdrv; 01-15-08 at 09:51 PM.. | ||||
