So I bought this sub a long time ago and it has failed again after being sent back to JL 4 years ago for a complete rebuild. Seems that the plate amp is pretty crappy. I tried replacing the caps that are usually the culprit but that didn't solve the problem, it doesn't power on anymore. At this point I don't feel like throwing more money to JL for another amp plate that will go bad ... since for the same money I can build another Martybox/18" Dayton UM-18.
Does anyone see any immediate problem with powering this via a Behringer NX Series amp? This sub was in my bedroom and is barely exercised like the theater UM-18 subs are, but I'd like to use it still as its a nice cabinet and the JL drivers are good.
