    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!

          Seeking Advice: Repairing Dell U3425WE Monitor with Faulty USB-C/Thunderbolt Ports
          by Borse2008
          Hi everyone,

          Looking for some advice or opinions on what to do with a monitor issue I’ve run into. Apologies in advance is this crossovers a few forum categories.

          I have a Dell U3425WE, which I've recently replaced with another model. That said, the original unit is still fully functional in terms of the display — it works perfectly over HDMI and DisplayPort. However, the USB-C and Thunderbolt 4 ports have stopped functioning correctly. The Issue:
          • The 90W Thunderbolt 4 port (circled in the photo) no longer charges or powers any device, including laptops or MacBooks.
          • There’s

          Mosfet Advice
          by Green Probe
          Hi, Im looking to replace some EMP21N03 mosfets on an Alienware motherboard, but I'm having trouble finding a legit supplier. The ones that are available from China have pictures with the engraved logo looking very scratchy and sketchy. Nobody in the US sells them. I'm trying to find a compatible mosfet, but I'm not well versed enough to be confident im making the right choice. Does anyone have a suggestion or advice that could help me find the right mosfet? Thanks!

          Gigabyte Eagle 3060 Ti - Boardview / Advice request please
          by user234
          Hi all,

          Recently installed a new motherboard but during the process I seemed to have damaged my Gigabyte Eagle 3060 Ti card.

          My motherboard ROG STRIX B550-A is detecting an issue with the VGA (light ON)

          I have attached 2 photo's of my GPU board, one above and the other is what I believe to be the 5V - as you can see, this has visual damage so looks suspicious to me.

          If I replace this part what are the odds this will resolve the issue? - any additional information on where to source the parts would be much apricated too!

          This is...
