What's wrong

Hi,

You will need to remove the screws on the woofer and pull the woofer out of the cabinet. Then use a multimeter, or simply a stereo amplifier to connect to the woofer and see if it is shorted. If so, then a new woofer will repair the sub woofer. If the woofer is fine, then the output stage on the amplifier is gone and it is in need of repair.

If you want to get it repaired,then i would recommend locating a tech at the below link to have them perform testing / repair / replacement as necessary :

Let me know,if needed further assistance.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

I do not know the manufacture but there are a lot of replacement speakers. If I was able to see the speaker i could order a reasonable replacement. You may contact Pro Line Music 215-736-8055 or [email protected]

shoudn't be too difficult if you can find a replacement amp that will fit in the case

You can go buy a audioquest SUB-X subwoofer cable with a additional ground wire on it an connect the ground cable to the ground slot of the receiver an the other end to a screw on the sub or into one of the high output terminals on the woofer if it has them an this will take that humming sound right away but the cable is around $90

No output could be an amplifier problem

You will need to contact Velodyne for service

You might have got an earth lead loose. If that is not the case then I would suspect an Electrolytic Capacitor somewhere. These are easy to replace and don't tend to cost a lot.

Go to the Velodyne web site and check the service center locations.

They may have one in your area.

It sounds like the amp may be the problem. That may be all you need to send.

Best bet, Contact Velodyne.

One of 2 things is going on.

First, the servo mounted in the driver may be going bad or is picking up some noise.

Second, Something in the amp section is going bad, hard to pinpoint the exact problem.

you say that it plays, so I tend to think it is the driver mounted servo unit.

If it is within the warranty time, take the unit back to the retailer you purchased it from, if not contact Velodyne for repair.

Already answered for DPS-12 in 2011 which suggests a fuse where the power enters, However, your manual mentions no fuse, but 'protection circuitry'. If there is a fuse, it will be inside and on a circuit board. All fuses have the rating on the end cap of glass fuses and on the side of ceramic fuses, which as also colour coded. https://velodyneacoustics.com/pdf/vx-11/VX-11Manual.pdf

It sounds like you may have ripped the passive (the rubber material around the speaker that stretches when the speaker hits. If the passive is not ripped then it may be picking up static, or it could be blown. You can purchase a noise filter fairly cheap and try that.
