if not wrong, Hong Kong and Taiwan will have plenty of this parts.

It is not the high tech parts, after all.

The parts that are difficult to source for are(assuming spoilt)

1) BASH amps, BASH Controller, and BASH Converter
2) PDC input PS(not sure if The Gigaworks/Megaworks used that or CSW's own PS)
3) 8" CSW triple 8 ohms 70W voice coil woofer

The first two are bound by BASH license IIRC, so only a few vendors are allowed to carry it. The other alternative that I read of is to get directly from Indigo Inc.

The second one is even more difficult to find because most woofers are single/double voice coils or in the multiple of two voice coils.

Other components should be standard parts, or at least easily replacable by equivalent standard parts.

The other option is to "cannibalise" from other spoilt BASH PS and amps, and salvage replacable parts, that is, if those can be found.

Base on the forum link by Buaians, the owner in UK and USA has advice to seperate the AMP and Sub speakers. so to prevent over heat and vribration. for those who going to repair may can consider this point.

A new amp housing needs to be designed and built, which added to the difficulty of repair...

The person doing that must be very experienced in those stuffs.

Hmm.....maybe all we s750 faulty sub owners can gather to see how many of the subs uncle can fix by savaging another sub.

Like that some ppl must donate/sell their sub for the operations...

But if supposing like 1 dead sub can save 2 faulty ones prolly can discuss bout token price.

Just a check with all the S750 owners here. Do you guys normally leave your speaker on or you actually off it when not in use?

I'ld power it down.

 

[xJoker]

So it it advisable to power on when use and off it when not in use? or to let it remain on all the time?

I just bought my about 3 weeks ago. Trying to make it last longer

Lucky one within the 2 years so you can have free rma.

No so lucky one, zhun zhun after two years.

good set, but not long lasting. think they also don't want to build it long last, right??
