SOURCE: Subs stoped

So...disconnect the spkr wires and put a known good AA battery across.

  • If the spkr pops, it's likely OK...if not, spkr is defective/toast. Best if you have VMeter - check for 2 to 8 ohms resistance.
  • You have used a test light to check powers - that includes the 'trigger' control from deck. Does the 'on' light on the amp come on?
  • High wattage means high current. Make sure your ground is to a clean unpainted metal surface. Plastic will not do !
  • Mandatory fuse at clean battery post using '0' - '4' gauge power wire, otherwise undercurrent will shut down amp.

My Boston Acoustics ASW 650 just turned off yesterday and wont turn back on. What could be wrong?

Check for the wires connections on all the terminals.
Else it is a minor problem due to power fluctuations.
Take it to a nearby technician.

How do I hook up my Boston Acoustics to my Mac Mini

Depends on what wattage is of the BAs. You will have to preamp the mini and then run to an amp and then to the speaker.

Boston Acoustics CS26 Speakers sound cuts out for over a second at higher volumes tested using two different amplifiers same problem. Does not seem to be related to amp distortion:clipping protectio

It sounds like the speaker cones(if that is what they have) get hung up against the back of the case. No vibration=no sound. Check to see that there is no hum adding to the pressure on the speakers. Check to see that the speakers are hooked to the correct impedence output of the amplifier. Also, wire length affects impedence and shortening the wires might help.

You can use a piece of speaker wire to replace the missing bar. those speakers are designed to be used with the bars in place for normal use. they can be removed if you are bi-amp/bi-wireing them.

Subs stoped

Any sub can be blown in 30sec if given bad clipped power, so just measure them with a multimeter and see if the coils still have resistance. Throw away the test light and only use a multimeter.
