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 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 an article available that lists the relevant caps to replace that will take care of the few issues we see in older v1 Fathoms (linked below). You would need to find a local repair shop or someone with soldering skills to have this done.
