My Rythmik FV18 is Broken. Next steps?

[AcuDefTechGuy]

Simple, I pulled the amp and wired the crown through the existing opening to the xlt input, could have done it through the rca but it was easier than the rca input, just easier that way.Just took advantage of what was there.

My point was that most people (including myself) would not feel comfortable doing that since most of us aren’t exactly DIY like you and TLS.

Sub Amp gone? I’ll just buy another one. Don’t have to mess with the sub itself. Easy peasy.

But anyway, yeah we’re jacking this thread for sure.

I have my old Epik Empire and thought of doing that too, but this one is also a servo sub and decided not to. SB-4000 is a LOT smaller yet still has good output.

Might be heavy to move to side to get to amp plate. 18inch is a larger sub.

Probably 90% of us can handle a few screws and unplug 2 wires going to the woofer though. It’s easy. Brian at Rythmik can talk them through it.

Rythmik were the first ones I called. None of their amps will directly work for the Empire.

Epik had sent me one replacement amp already free and it was a straightforward replacement. 2 or 3 wires, no soldering.

Am I reading that correctly that the Epik Empire is a servo sub? Not heard that before in any case.

Not to my knowledge and definitely not according to the wiring. He may be referring to the replacement amp he was looking at from rythmik amp fitting. I wired the Empire exactly as it was from the factory and there was no servo board.

Yeah have an Empire myself, still doing well (altho did have an early amp failure/replacement under warranty). I misread the post it seems
