JBL PB12 subwoofer, Class D amp, dead. - Page 34

mndrummer74 · 12th October 2010, 04:03 AM

Hello All. I'm looking for fried PB12's to buy, as long as the driver is still in good condition. I fried my PB12 4 years ago, and I have revived it and I'd like to add some more to my room. Anyone have PB12's for sale?!

Thanks!!

my subwoofer is in great shape and the box is solid but with some scratches on them, the poweramp is fried and gone. If you are near Norfolk,Va or within 200 miles; we might arrange something: my email is timehascome444@Yahoo.com but after Thanksgiving it's going on Craigslist. let me know and I'll send a picture....

Hey everybody! New here. I too have fallen prey to the PB12 dilemma! Except, I bought mine, brand new over 10 years ago and never once had a problem with it.
It went out yesterday and with a bit of searching I found this site. I read the entire post and then noticed that it started way back! lol.

So, to my dismay I guess it's buy a new amp or new unit, I'm sad.

i have an early model of the PB12 (made in canada) before they switched to a Mexican-made version. It has performed well for 11 years. Lately it pops and groans when turned on and it crackles and doesn't play well. I left it off for 2 months and decided to turn it on again today. After initially popping and groaning it is now playing close to normal (i think). After reading all the horror stories about the burnt power module, i am wondering if i should leave this alone or take it apart and see the condition of the board. Thoughts?
