Starting to fail

[STRONGBADF1]

I may have one of the oldest JBL PB12 still in operation but it's starting to fail. The auto on off isn't working all that well. The indicator lights flash back and forth between green and red progressively faster during the shut down to the point of them turning yellow.

It's in my 2nd system in the family room and I'll guess I replace it with my AV123 x-sub...it's just sitting there doing nothing anyway.

Just thought everyone would like to know...

Good grief, I thought you were talking about your marriage.

Hey STRONGBADF1, would you possibly consider just manually turning the unit on/off, or is that not even a possibility? You probably won't have much luck, but you might try turning up the sub preamp level, and turning down the sub's gain to compensate. (I've heard that sometimes helps subs more easily trigger on). Anyhoo, sorry.

No it's all good there. It's our anniversary today. Got some too

Maybe, but I'm gonna see how the x-sub does for now. I bought it a long time ago after winning two separate $100 AV123 gift cards through AH contests. I remember it sounding pretty good but well see if it has enough power for the 2.1 system in the family room. The back of the room is open to the dining room that's open to the kitchen. The JBL does alright in there but I don't remember the x-sub having as much headroom.

The JBL has been making that electronic zipper sound when it triggers on for at least 2 years so...It might be time to operate just to see what's in there....


If everything goes like normal I'll trash the JBL with the exploratory surgery and I'll fry the x-sub pushing it too hard. Then I'll just have to buy/build something new.

Ugh ... man you suck.
Just kidding of course. It's weird how some people are lucky like that.
I was at tcarcio's buying a 2 channel amp and he had two projectors.
Yep, he won the second one.
Youz guyz.

Yeah, I figured you'd say something about that...

It's karma I tell you!

What was his name?

I would have got that in sooner but I have been pre occupied.

 

[Adam]

Not that there's anything wrong with it, but...

What was his name?

Probably should be immediately followed by...

[Lame, I know. I'm still working and am getting a bit slap happy.]

Leave Rick alone!



I've got this salmon colored vision of Alex and Rick walking hand and hand and all you hear is the sound of flip flops and men giggling.

Rick would be the one wincing and walking like his feet hurt.

Sorry Rick.

I go on vacation, and leave you guys alone for ten minutes....

I don't think that Alex needed that long.

 

[STRONGBADF1]

I don't think that Alex needed that long.

Alex probably took more than 10 minutes toning his response down...

True, true!

I wasn't referring to posting, though. My remark was more, well, you know that my mind is typically in the gutter, right?

Well Duh...I'm a dope!

See that, I spend a bunch of time away from yous guys (I am from Philly) and I can't keep up.

 

[Adam]

Eh, give it five minutes. You'll get right back into the flow.
