I have a Sunfire True Sub Super Junior which unfortunately has a blown amplifier, the internal fuse blew but it looks as if there is significant burn damage to the components (one resistor is essentially melted, big char area as well).
Contacted Carver about repair and it would run upwards of $400 if even possible, which is roughly what the thing is worth in working condition. What I would like to do instead of reattach the amp panel (to create a seal) but convert it to passive.
I'm not entirely sure, but would this be correct:
Disconnect everything in the amp
Wire the driver leads to one of the sets of binding posts directly
Obtain a crossover with volume control (Paradigm X30 perhaps) and connect between preamp and external amplifier. (Or do I need this if my processor can crossover?)
Any ideas would be appreciated, i'm mostly playing around with the idea for right now. Thanks!
