How do I replace a subwoofer potentiometer ?

If the 10k resistor is the variable volume one then change it.Some sub amp plates have epoxy all over the pcboard.Hard to remove type.I think yours is soldered to a sub pcb and need soldering experience to remove.

Sunfire annoying popping noises

If you remove the volume knob, and tighten the nut below, it should take care of the popping noise, as well as any input noise issues. Based on my experiences with my MKII

Guitar amp make large crescendo-like noise, loud pop at end.

Same loudness, no speaker? This sounds (no pun intended) like a filter capacitor shorting out. Open it up and VERY CAUTIOUSLY look for what is making the noise. Filter capacitors can eject hot stuff. Very dangerous.

Popping & hardly any volume

i had the first problem and you can probably fix it by turning the volume knob all the way up and down about 20 times. it worked for me. supposedly the potentiometers in the z-5300 get dirty or worn out, somehow this might fix it. for the second problem maybe try plugging it into the laptop and unplugging it again seeing if it goes back to normal?maybe its a problem with the amp?
