JL Audio f113 v1 Hum

[Audiophilehi]

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 f113 v1 and connecting it straight to my PS Audio BHK300 mono amp be possible?

Thanks.

While it should be possible to bypass the amp and use an external amp, I'd suggest trying to get details of the needed repair either online or from JL Audio and finding a local tech who could implement it. I recall it's just some power supply caps that typically need replacement. Good luck.

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.

I had my F113v2 serviced this past January by JL Audio. Removed the amp and sent it in. I think it cost $450 plus shipping to them.

Good luck.
