Sub stopped working, and I've tried to get audio several different ways, and come to the conclusion that the board is bad, or something on the board is bad. It powers up and I can bypass everything and go directly to the sub which works fine by itself but no amp/crossover. Any Idea where i can get parts.
I have the same problem with mine and since Acoustic Research went out of business, I too have been looking for a solution. I may have found an alternative to throwing away this really nice speaker. I found a company on the web that appears to sell an amp that may fit nicely into this speaker enclosure for $99.00. Check it out...http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?DID=7&PartNumber=300-805
UPDATE Feb-16-2016: This Amp is still going strong since 2012 when I replaced it. The price has gone up to 139.00, but may still be worth it to replace a bad one given the cost of Sub's today.
Have you physically tried this amp from the website and does it fit into the AR S112PS?? Please let me konw becuase I want to buy it but want to make sure it fits and wil l work.
Yes, I purchased it and installed it shortly after I found it. She is still working great and I use it every day as part of my home theatre system.
UPDATE 2014-10-04: This new Amp is still working great in my subwoofer and I wanted to update everyone with its status. Enjoy!!
New part number for the "Plate Amplifier" itself. http://www.parts-express.com/dayton-audi...
UPDATE Feb-19-2016:The Amp is still running like a champ!! It gets used every day as part of my home theater system. Was definitely a great investment back in 2012 when I replaced it.

Above is the link to the Amp, but the price seems to have gone up to $139.00 USD, so you may want to see if you can catch it on sale or perhaps find a coupon somewhere if they take them.
UPDATE: Jan-30-2018 I just wanted to let everyone know that this Amp is still going strong and gets used every day since I installed it.
UPDATE 2019-FEB-01: Well, it was fun while it lasted. The Dayton audio SPA250 250 Watt Plate Amp finally took a dump!!! It kind of works if you drive it with lots of audio, it sometimes comes on and then you can turn the tuner amp back down and it may play a little while, but it sounds really weak and distorted. Funny because we never run it at more than about 1/3rd power, but I guess just cheap components in these amps.
I'm not going to buy another one at the new higher price, just not worth it. I can buy a new Klipsch 10" Subwoofer at Bestbuy on sale for less than 200 bucks, so I guess I'm done with this one. I'll probably sell the speaker at a yard sale and just move on....

Do you know what on the board is bad? I'm having a similar problem with mine. I don't know what commonent has failed. The power supply circuit is good but I don't get even as much as a hum out of it. While I've had trouble finding an exact match for some of the key components, I think I could make-do with equivalent parts. I'm thinking of just replacing some common culprits but I haven't dug into it much yet.
