I finally killed by Wharfedale sub. Just switched off, half way through Rammstein, Du Hast, accompanied by a rather nasty smell of overheated electronic components! Switched back on it gives the usual slight hum, but the power light doesn't come on, and it makes no sound. Where can it be repaired, or is it dead? I live in Dunedin. Thanks for any advice.

Take the sub into someone with good soldering skills (like an Auto Electrician) along with a circuit diagram if possible (to save time).

 

Imho identifying the fried component is relatively easy, desoldering & resoldering is the hard part.   

 

Did this twice, first with a Pioneer VSX amp, again when my car's LCD Screen died after a jump start (5V transistor worth $4).
