Repair

If your unit needs service, please re-review the troubleshooting section first. 

Contact your dealer or call tech support at 1-800-554-0150 9am to 5pm Pacific time, Monday through Friday. 

We will try and respond to emails sent to [email protected] within two business days. 

Problem

Cause

Solution

•  Recheck the connections between the source and the subwoofer.

•  With  the  volume  on  the  subwoofer  turned  to  a  low  setting,  try 

plugging the subwoofer directly into a CD player or lightly touching

the unplugged end of the input cable. If you hear noise from the sub-

woofer, the problem is with your connection to the system. If you

hear no noise, try turning the volume on the subwoofer up some more.

If you still hear no noise, contact your dealer or call/e-mail technical 

support for authorization to send the amplifier back for service.

•  Return the subwoofer to the dealer or contact HSU Research.

•  Return the subwoofer to the dealer or contact HSU Research.

•  Correct the polarity of the speaker wires by matching the +/- from 

the receiver/amplifier to the +/- of the subwoofer’s speaker level input.

•  Connect only to the channel that has a true ground ‘ - ’. If neither 

channel has a true ground ‘ - ’, contact your dealer or e-mail/call 

technical support.

•  Increase the volume of the subwoofer and the subwoofer level or 

LFE level on the receiver or other source. It is best to set the level 

of the subwoofer relative to the other speakers using a test disk and 

a Radio Shack SPL meter, or built-in tones on your pre-amp/pro-

cessor. See “Volume Level” in Step 4.

•  When you shut down your equipment, turn off the subwoofer first.

When powering up, turn on the subwoofer last.

Subwoofer amplifier is faulty.

Connection  between  subwoofer 

amplifier and woofer is faulty.

Driver or amplifier is faulty.

You used speaker level connections 

and  have  mixed  up  the  polarity  of

the wires, thus shorting one channel

of the main amplifier.

You used speaker level connections

and one or both your main amplifier’s

Level on subwoofer or receiver’s

subwoofer output is too low.

Noise  is  being  generated  by  up- 

stream equipment.
