SOURCE: Philips MMS 460 Computer subwoofer problem

Found it.....

Replaced the 1.5Amp 12v Reg with a 3Amp 12v and heatsink...also replace all the electrolitics in the same area. Reasoning being gone leaky due to hot heasink.

Remember to Silicon the heatsink down afterwards as it rattles if you dont!!!!

SOURCE: subwoofer isn't working

If your wire connections are normal then the problem is due your woofer speaker. Its your subwoofer circuit error and must be repair thru replacing the damaged Component in the circuit

SOURCE: Subwoofer thumping when turn on

Your subwoofer is not getting enough power, or it is grounding out due to a bad connection. What is powering the subwoofer? You might want to consider buying an AC to DC power inverter and a car amplifier to power your subwoofer. You connect the AC/DC inverter to your amp the same way you would in your car (+) to (+) and (-) to (-). The only other thing you will have to do is run the remote wire to the (+) on the amp. You can buy the AC/DC inverter at radioshack for $49.99, and all you really would need is a 200watt max amplifier and that would cost you about $10-$20.00 for a cheap one.

SOURCE: Thump at the time of shutoff

The amplifier in the sub as with any other amplifier has a capacitor in it. Essentially a battery that holds a charge. When you trun things off such as subs or amps with a powerstrip instead of the intended on off button, the power supply has been cut, but the capacitor is still energizing the unit. So it catches the noise in the line.

Subwoofer deconnects

I have no experience of wireless speakers but I think you should contact the seller, if the unit is still under warranty or perhaps the support section of the manufacturer's website.
Certainly do read the instrucion manual.

I am guessing but either the wireless signal is being lost (depends on the function of the blue light) or the subwoofer is malfunctioning after a few minutes and the built-in thermal or overload protection is switching it off. The thump sound could be it trying to switch on again and finding the fault is still present.

Just my thoughts...

The subwoofer starts to make a loud thumping sound

Remove the signal source and power it on to see if the problem occurs without any input signal. The problem could be in the receiver and not the sub

JBL PB12 will have loud thump or pop!

First try to find the source of your problem. The easiest way would be to try your sub with a different audio source to see if the problem still occurs but is sounds more like there's a problem with the receiver.

Stopped working. I-trigue 3400

The stereo -jackbus is broken if your speakers won't work and your headphones are fine. The stereo jackplug holds a little switch at the back, which moves sideways if you connect headphones.
Solution is very carefully opening back end of stereo connector bus and reassembling the switch

Cerwin Vega ve-28s subwoofer and new Cervin Vega 2-way satellites

I bought my VE-28s and it did exactly that crackled, cerwin replaced part in amp but few months later problem persisted. they then replaced entire amp assembly and its been fine. i really push it to and its been fine. to test it, unplug the connection from amp/ reciever and see if it persists. if so its the sub, if not its the amp/ reciever. dont dump it, these subs really crank and can put out some deep loud bass.

Thumping Subwoofer

Ive seen this problem in alot of audio setups in vehicles but most peeps dont know this is not a good thing and will cause damage to your woofers or amp. 99% of the time it turns out to be as you said that bad boy muting circuit. alot of these curcuits do use separate transitors or diodes as mute switches but most of them are directly from the Microproccessor. Only way to trouble shoot this is with a schematic and a good car stereo tech. Good luck
