Can anyone help me out here? Here's the situation:
I have a Yamaha RX-V595 receiver that had been powering a Yamaha YST-SW60 sub for as long as I'd owned the two - probably about 18 months. Then one day, I suddenly noticed the subwoofer wasn't working anymore. Figured it was probably blown, so I started looking for a new one.
Found a nice little Sony sub on Craigslist yesterday. Tested it at the guy's apartment, and it worked great. Brought it home, hooked it up with the cable he supplied me, and I seemed to think then that it worked fine. Hooked it up later with my old cable (longer) to put it in a new place, and now suddenly it's not working. Fine, I think, it's a dead cable. Hook it back up to the old cable - the one that it worked with - nothing. It powers on, but there is NOTHING coming through it at all - just like the old sub.
Is it possible that somehow my receiver is actually killing these subs? I'm not abusing them...this last one hardly got used at all before dying.
