    JL subs

    Both were over 10 years for sure. The 2nd one I bought was 2nd hand. I'm not complaining about the issue with the capacitors. My complaint is with the support. I'm still trying to find someone locally who can do the repairs. :cry:

    JL subs

    I have 2 JL Audio f113's v1. Both have had hum issues. I got 1 of the f113's repaired after its warranty was up. The other f113 had the hum issue last year and when I reached out to Taylor Hansen from JL Audio he told me about the policy change. Needless to say I will never buy a JL Audio...

    Looking For Recommendations To Upgrade My Aurender N100H

    Update….I purchased the Aurender N200 new from Mike. With early impressions and only a few hours on it the sound is much better than my N100H. More detailed for sure.

    JL Audio f113 v1 Hum

    I did reach out to JL Audio and received the below response. It’s very disappointing Thank you for reaching out. I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with your f113. Unfortunately, since you last reached out, repairs and replacement parts for v1 Fathoms have been discontinued. We do have...

    JL Audio f113 v1 Hum

    Thanks Bill, I am aware of what needs to be done as my other ff113 needed the capacitors replaced. My initial concern was that JL Audio doesn’t provide the service anymore. I will reach out to JL Audio to see if they will service.

    JL Audio f113 v1 Hum

    My 2nd JL Audio f113 v1 now has the dreaded hum. About 2 years ago I removed the amplifier from my 1st f113 v1 and sent it to JL Audio and still works flawlessly. I recently found out that JL Audio no longer does the repairs. With that being said. Would removing the amplifier from the humming...
