Bought a JBL HT 12in powered sub. Label said "made in Canada" so I figured it may be OK. Wudnt power up. Opened the amp and there was a blown fuse. Replaced it with like fuse and plugged in.....INSTANT SMOKE EVERYWHERE ...grabbed it and ran out to the patio. WHEW.. (everything inside box except driver said "Made in China" ). After about a half hour it stopped smoking.

driver was good , power not worth working on , so smashed up box and saved feet for turntable record weights and pulled driver...tested, its fine.

So anyway, here is pix of the driver. It doesn't say JBL anywhere. The only marking is the white sticker.....any guess about model number ?

Hey, Seawolf....

Even in their most economically minded days, I can't imagine JBL needing 8 screws to hold down a woofer.......Starts with buying a reasonably sturdy frame....JBL can stand for something other than James B. Lansing !!!!

Don't suppose you can return to sender ??

Smiling with you, and not at you,
