    Sunfire sub true sub woofer EQ signature schematic /advice please

    Discovered that input to left or right channel will instigate a rumbling noise from sub , which is still present when signal removed.

    Also discovered that if i monitor the plus 173V across one of the main smoothing caps, which is stable with no signal , but when input provided voltage can fluctuate 152V - 168V . Replaced the cap , which made no difference .

    The minus 173V across the other cap is fine .

    Could really do with some help trying to isolate this issue.

      If the rumbling is a 60hz hum you should replace all e-caps in the 13V supplies in the preamp and power boards.
      The Sunfire sub standby circuit mutes the output until input charges the standby cap, maybe a half second. The cap will not re-mute after the input is removed until the cap discharges, maybe 10 seconds.

          Boston Acoustics HD8 – build quality impressions & DIY woofer surround repair
          by momaka
          Boston Acoustics fans, this thread might not be for you.
          A few years back (~2018 time frame), I picked up a set of free JVC speakers from someone on Craigslist that no one seemed to be interested in. The guy also had a single Boston Acoustics HD8 speaker – yes, just one cabinet. He said he had no idea where he got this one from or why it's only by itself. But like the JVC speakers, it was going to get tossed at the end of that week… so I came to collect, as usual. And that's all I know about this HD8. After all, I figured why not take it and see what's inside… show it to the...

          Does anyone have Bob Carver Sunfire Ultimate Receiver Firmware Update 3.22?
          by higuys
          Hi everyone, I posted this over in AVSForum and someone mentioned I should try posting here. Does anyone have Sunfire Ultimate Receiver Firmware update 3.22? Sunfire only has version 3.20 on their website, I was told by one of the few people that worked on these units 3.22 is the latest version but his computer just stopped working. I've emailed Sunfire several times and they won't respond or update the version on the site. Any help is much appreciated!

          Need T-Con Advice (Vizio P602ui-B3)
          by Jidis
          Hi all,

          I made a big-ass mess here of my father's beloved P602, and I'm trying to figure out if I should order a batch of overpriced ribbons or if I'd just be throwing more good money at the bad.

          He woke up recently to a bunch of white bars going down the right side of the screen. From what I'd seen in these places, I figured the T-con board has gone out or has a bad connection. I took the back off and gently poked at the socketed ribbons and sure enough, got the image back. It was mainly the far left ribbon, and it would snap back to stripes if I let off the pressure....

          Hey all, was wanting to know what cheapest option is for programming EC chips such as the MEC5107-LJ

          i searched online and found such programmers as the SVOD4, Vertyanov Successor , and the RT809h type but didn’t see this particular BGA EC chips listed? So hoping for some advice here , cheers.

          on the gate of pq1 and pq2 =18.5v qnd source 19v but pq1 and pq2 qre pchannel which is means the source voltage should be lower
          what i know is gate of pq1 and pq2 controlled by charger ic here is bq24780s but vcc of bq=0v which means ther is somthing else controlling mosfet gate
