Possible solution - this can be caused by a fault in the receiver unit. the sub has a triac 'high side switch' circuit that can cause the fuse to blow if it doesn't get a good switching signal e.g. if the receiver power supply is not running at the full voltage. check the plug pack wire for damage, check the 12v input area on the receiver board for dry joints, particularly the power input socket. hope this helps.-pj

SOURCE: subwoofer blows internal fuse when receiver is turned on

Has it ever worked?

Try this - connect one pair of its speaker wires at a time and test it. Watch the polarity.

• Make sure all cube speaker arrays are connected to the proper terminals according to their
position in your room.
• Check to be sure all wires are connected to your surround receiver with the proper polarity
(+ to + and – to – wires). Incorrect wiring can result in a total loss of module output.
• Correct any wiring problems before you plug in your receiver and turn it on.

SOURCE: Subwoofer blows internal 1.25A fuse when plugged

Any fuse blowing is caused by an overload in either the power section or the amp part. Look arond for burnt or damaged parts first. It could be caused by a shorted transistor, but your best bet is to follow the circuit from the fuse on the PC board.

How to connect a subwoofer to Yamaha audio video receiver for 7 stage home theater system?

Most newer receivers have a dedicated subwoofer output with line voltage. If yours doesn't, you will need a subwoofer with a proper internal crossover, or it could potentially blow its input circuit. Subwoofers are normally powered internally, and need low level input to work properly. You should never hook up a subwoofer to regular speaker outputs, unless they are designed to take the signal, and then separate the signal to subwoofer frequency output.

The fuse blows in the SA-WM500 whenever there is an input from the amplifier.

The fuse blowing is a symptom of something seriously shorted internally. What preceded the initial problem? Smoke is bad. Fire would be soon to follow without the fuse blowing. Take it to a tech.
