Problem for Cambridge Soundworks BassCube 12 Speaker

Bass Cube 12 makes loud buzzing noise when turned on !

It doesn't matter whether or not the speaker is connected to my receiver or not. I'm pretty handy. Is there a part I can get to fix this problem my self? The unit weighs to much to ship out to be repaired by Cambridge Sound Works.It would probably not be cost effective to try to get it repaired and I hate to just throw it out.  Thanks, Vinny

- I'm not really sure because the noise is so loud. I just disconnected it. The buzzing sound is extremely loud! Thank you. Vinny

Have the same problem with my Basscube 851. Did you find out what the problem was? Dan

Hi Vinny, When its connected to a stereo, does it work, even with the buzzing?

Hi Ok thanks. I cannot be 100 % sure about this without seeing it but it sounds alot like there is a power supply issue, either bridge rec or caps. Caps are very often very obvious. If you get into it and have a look at what is normally the 2 or 4 biggest capacitors at the start/power supply of the board and see if they are ok visibily. If they are bulged, (often they actually explode and leave paper residue) then those are what need to be replaced. Have a look and see.

If its the bridge rec, it could be 4 diodes, fairly large next to each other or a square component with 4 legs out. Need a meter to test, but i would start at caps first
All the best
