Sounds like you managed to screw it. Can you select the input voltage? You do know voltage here in the uk is around 240v.. I pitty you if it was on 110v.

Im gutted my sub is dead.Yeah the voltage should be at 230 but i couldnt get any sound so i changed it to 115 and know it wont work.Ive replace the plug fuse and changed it back to 230 voltage and it still wont work .What kind of damage have i done to the sub .

[basite]

probably the magic smoke went out

be sure to check ALL the fuses, if it still doesn't do anything once you've replaced them, it's dead.

[sgt bass08]

Yeah ive changed the fuse on the plug i replaced it with a other one and it still wont come on .

check all fuses why how many should there be . ive only changed the fuse out of the plug

If he does that he'll probably void the garantee. But he probably doesn't have one anymore
don't think the fuse will change anything if he's set it to 110v.
That's 300 quid up in smoke if i'm right. Sorry bud

How big is the damage because the sub wont power up .

[audio amateur]

Check what the warranty says. I'd try and send it back if I were you. If they won't accept it, unscrew the amp part, and check for fuses, or any visual damage. (make sure it's unpluged at this point.) I'd try and get it fixed somewhere, but i'm thinking the damage is pretty severe. I'm no electrician, although i've done a year of electronic engineering, it shows you how well I did... That's why i'm studying economics now
Good luck

[sgt bass08]

ok there no warranty its secondhand. i havent unscrewed the amp as i dont no what im doing but ill have a try today and see what happens.

[sgt bass08]

I was just thinking if a take the amp out will i be able to take it to a repair shop and get it fix .Instead off taking all the subwoofer .

I'd say DOA, and get a refund.... did it ever really work?? I think they sold a defective unit perhaps?

Thats why iam gutted m8 .becasue i brought it off ebay and it was cash up front plus the guy i brought it of comes from a different city.i should off told him to show it me working but i didnt .so when i got to my house i tryed to get it in my bedroom but i think i knocked the amp a little bit aswell so it could be me that damaged it.then i couldnt get no sound so i flicked the voltage switch to 115 and now it dosent power up.

[audio amateur]

make sure you unscrew the right screws, the ones with the arrows. They're usually the outer-most screws.

[audio amateur]

Actually now that I think of it take it straight to a repair shop. I knew about voltage differences when I was 6 so perhaps you're not fit for this.

yeah. I doubt you'll need the whole thing. just the amp. Get a quote for the price of repair.

[sgt bass08]

Yeah ill get someone to fix it .They wont all the subwoofer but they will also come out to me. thanks for your help

[audio amateur]

no prob tell us how it works out.

[johnny p]

I'd use ebay's buyer protection/fraud protection. You said it didn't work BEFORE you switched the amp settings..... I think he sold you junk, quite possibly..... you said you might have "knocked it" My sub has taken a beating for 10 years, and it still works flawlessly.

[johnny p]

put up a link to the ad for sale....

[audio amateur]

yeah.. how exactly did you 'bump' it? Subs dont die like that.

I have had my CW CLSC-12 for over a year and piss beat it and it is awesome. Anyone who thinks CW is not a reputable speaker company needs to get their head checked.
