Help: Velodyne SP1200 SUB problem

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

Any one out there know about repairing these subs? (Servo 1200 - Velodyne)

My sub all of a sudden started a hum (ignoring all knobs and input signal)
and it 'clicks' every 2
seconds. Does anyone know what this could be symptomatic of? There's a
big-ass transformer inside going to the circuitry and I'm wondering if the
xformer died. I have no specs and I fear these things are impossible to fix?

Thanks

Thanks Scott -

I figure it's tech time - nothing smells or looks cooked on the board inside
making it even harder to diagnose. I wasn't even driving it hard when it
happened... like 20% vol playing GTA San Andreas :-D
