In January 2003 I bought a DLS 100 watt subwoofer from Parts Express, paid about $131 shipped. It's been little used, it usually isn't plugged in. But last couple times I plugged it in, it hummed pretty noticeably even when not driven. Of course, it remains unplugged now, since it's in my computer room (doubles as home theater, office).
Do I have to get a new subwoofer, or is it possible I can get the hum out of this one?
Normally, I watch my DVDs using earbuds. No acoustics issues, I hear dialog better, don't disturb my neighbors, but certain movies deserve the full 5.1 treatment. And that's not the same without a house shaking subwoofer. :awe: Also, of course, if I have a guest, the 5.1 is the way to go.
