Speaker - General Discussion

My Dearest internet brethen,

I have my Z-560 4.1 speakers since 2002, they have far and away been my best purchase.  I have not so much had a glitch from then untill last week when the sub blew.  I tried reseting the switches, turning it off/on, etc.., and it still wont work.  The electrical system works in the sub, this i know b/c my 4 sats still produce quality sound.  Quality sound that lacks any and all mid and low ranges.  I would like to the forums input on the following questions:

1. Is it possible to fix my sub?

2. If no to 1,  where can i buy it cheaply?

3. My sub is rated for 188 watts.  Will any Logitech sub work?  Do i specifically need to buy a Z560 sub?

Personally I would just sell it as-is on ebay and pick up a new set of speakers. If you really want it fixed you can look for a professional although you would have to pay for their service, and they may or may not be able to fix the problem anyway. Just my 2 cents.

well, i wasnt thinking about a professional.  I was asking if i could somehow diagnose the problem myself, and if so, if the subs are known to be easy to fix? 

If it cant be fixed, do I need to specifically buy a Z-560 sub or will any 4.1 sub do?

You can put another 8 inch subwoofer in the enclosure,but make sure that has the same values of the ohm

Well if you could diagnose the problem yourself you wouldn't be asking. So in either way, you'd have to ask a professional.

Hi All,

I doubt it was the actual speaker. When they go you get distinct sounds. It is probably the amp for the sub. New speakers will be cheaper than fixing yours.
