Hey guys.

Ok.. So, a number of years ago, I went and purchased an Amp & 5.1 surround sound setup. All was working amazingly, moved house, put it in my bedroom in storage as I didnt need it.

Once I bought my DJ setup, I hooked it all back up again, and my subwoofer made a pop sound and produced no signal. Checked my fuse, it had blown, put a new one in, popped again.

Tried it on a different amp. Popped again.

It's a Klipsch subwoofer: here are the photos:

Anyone know what I can do to maybe fix it?

Popped fuse usually means a dead short.
Fuses are generally in the power supply circuit, so there a good spot to start.
Get the multi meter out and start testing if you're handy, otherwise take it to an electronics repair place.
They usually fault find first and then quote the repair to let you decide whether its cost effective.

I had a similar problem with a sub woofer amp, it was more cost effective to replace the amp than it was to repair mine.
Best of luck with it.
