I recently purchased a REL Britania Subwoofer with an amplifier that needs repair or replacement. The amp turns on and seems to work for a short period and then stops working - when working there is a constant static hum. When the sub stops working the driver sometimes continues to move even after music is turned off. Sometimes the relay (I think) clicks on and off repeatedly. Basically I think there are likely multiple problems. I've ordered a new relay and new resistors to replace the ones that show signs of overheating but those resistors appear to be in speck so I'm not sure that will solve my problem(s). I'm starting to think replacing the amp might be a better solution and I've started looking at plate amplifier options - specifically the Hypex Fusionamp FA501. Looking for opinions on how best to proceed. Assuming I'm unable to fix the Rel amp do you think the Hypex FA501 would be a suitable replacement? How challenging is the calibration and filtering?
Thanks all!
