I have an active subwoofer (Accusound, Australia) that is clicking about once per second. Doesn't amplify the sound/make any sound, just clicks, I don't think it actually stays on if for a second, or I haven't heard any bass from it. Sometimes if I leave it clicking for an hour it will click on and stay on, but mostly now it just keeps clicking.
Any ideas what it is? Is there a possibly fix? It has one of those automatic turn on circuits when it detects a signal. Can relays be changed? Or am I looking at a fault like transistors?
I'm hoping there's either a fix or a bypass to leave the amp on 24/7 (I'll just turn it on manually for movies).
Thanks.
If it's dead-dead, in Australia - Any recommendations for an active subwoofer either store bought, or one I can make? (I have a CNC router) Preferably under $300ish (yes I know that's low but I'm on a low income sadly, hoping for a good budget option like the accusound was).

If its a fairly new sub, and anything like the lousy Polk brand, it likely uses a crappy switch-mode type of power supply.
And if that is the case, tossing the crap amp out is the only solution, and replacing with a reliable amp that uses a real transformer type power supply.
The Polks are dropping like flies, I've had to repair them, and many people are complaining about them too.

You have not indicated the model of your subwoofer (on the nameplate at the back).

Accusound in Australia has gone out of business - never aimed for the top but said --"value for money " , Australian distributor--"too ill to continue " and the products including sub woofers ?
Thats right imported from the "Land of Built to a Price " - China .
Yes China can make quality goods but more often than not importers want the biggest profit on what they sell and you have a very big choice of factories in China as to the "quality " ---aka profit you want and yes I spent month upon month proving what I said elsewhere .
So I wouldn't spend too much time looking for a schematic and yes I gathered the above information on Accusound straight from Australia , many Australians didn't mind the "average quality " but liked the low prices.
