Wow. Maybe I’ll have to break my rule that if it requires a tool, I have someone else do it.

Congrats. Way over my head and beyond my capabilities.

Terry.......

Jim.......

If you can handle a screw driver, a couple of hex keys, and a soldering iron, you can make this repair. That is, of course, that the issue on any particular subwoofer is a power supply capacitor.

Congrats on the successful repair Dan, kudos on a job well done!

JL Audio Fathom f113 repair
 

Dan,

Congrats!!! Panasonic caps are the Esoteric brand of caps. When possible, it’s my go-to brand. Well done, sir!!!!

Good work Dan!

Well done Dan! That type of repair brings such great satisfaction to me!

Dan,
I don’t have the same skill set. You are one of the many talented folks on this forum with electronics, but I have never soldered anything. Sure there are videos, but lots of videos make things look easy.

I found a video on mitral valve repair. Not sure I want to try this either...

Good job on the repair. I am a little envious.

Dan... well done! :ok:

Ivan.......Thank you. I REALLY did not want to have to pack and ship the Fathom. After two months without the f113 working it is a pleasure to have the super low frequency reinforcement back in the living room sound system. I was so happy to see the Master light and the Calibrate button illuminate. Gotta love it when a plan comes together.

Type in JL Audio Fathom f113 repair in the Google search line and the thread already comes up. I hope this thread proves worthwhile to others who may be experiencing the same issue I had. A little DIY project sure saved a lot of energy and money. What's not to like about that?

This morning's music with my coffee and pastry sounded so good with the f113 back in the system. I listened to Liz Story with Joel Di Bartolo. Joel's acoustic double bass was so enticing, the perfect compliment to Liz Story's amazing talent on the piano. I guess I was missing my subwoofer more than I realized. Sure good to have it up and running again.
