Bought a Dayton Audio SA240-B subwoofer kit from Parts Express probably around 2009. When it worked it was okay, but for some reason I now cannot get anything out of it. It drives a Dayton Audio 15" DCS380-4 subwoofer rated at 4 ohms. I understand that these plate amps had a problem with the auto power on feature. Could anybody point me to perhaps schematics or some where I could start to see if I can get this fixed. I would rather see if I could fix this rather than have to buy a new plate amp. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Finally talked my wife into letting me get a new A/V receiver after many years...its a long story. But I am missing the bottom end that a subwoofer can add to movies. Newbie here but glad to be here. Thanks.😀
I may be having a similar problem. One of the Dayton subwoofers I have has an intermittent problem that I believe to be related to the auto on. I'd love to figure out a way to bypass that circuit and have it on all the time. My first instinct is that it isn't worth repairing but it seems wasteful to junk it. When it works, it's satisfactory for the application although I don't really want to buy an exact replacement. IF you ever located any resources to repair it, please let me know.
Yes, but it doesn't solve the problem I'm having. It can work correctly for days then just be off...red LED. The position of the switch doesn't change anything. Also worth noting, when you move the switch to off, the LED stays red. It should turn off. The for no known reason, it will power back on and the switch will start working again.
I took it apart to see if I could figure out how to bypass that function but it's a little hard for me to figure out. Nothing was obviously fried. I'd love to fix it. Because you really can't seem to buy an amp for much less than. The whole subwoofer costs.
