JBL sourced those from Audax, ask them.Cheap foreign labor isn't the problem, the people exploiting them are.Sounds to me like you've figured it out. There should be enough glue without it squirting out the edges. Oftentimes people will use too little for fear of using too much. Also, as the designer has stated, the surfaces need to be prepped. If it's oily, there will be failures. I specifically remember one LE14H-3 with that problem. The underside of the surround lip was slippery, like oil or silicone had gotten on it prior to installation.
Yep, I do believe I understand what happened. It's frustrating to think that I could just glue down the surround in about an hour instead of the hassle of shipping them off. The more I have to deal with this the more it chaps my a** for some reason I don't quite understand. I've fixed nearly all of my speakers in one way or another but this one just makes me mad.
I'll post back on the warranty process.
Woke up this morning to a bad smell emanating from the HT room. Then I noticed that there were no green snake eyes on one PS1400.
I leave the PS1400 on 24/7, looks like one of them lost its power supply. The plate is still warm to touch, just no power.
Need a new plate amp or an entire unit if anyone can help out.

Good deal here on Harman's Clearance. You could buy the unit and either keep a spare box/driver or sell the driver on ebay for close to the purchase price.
Those are tempting to be sure but I think I could do better and am not afraid of used gear. Hopefully those won't vanish too quickly.
There were a couple NIB that went for $400 on eBay in recent weeks, should have jumped.
I actually have a PS1400 plate amp that I got off eBay for $20 a while ago, I assume its dead but have no way to try it other than installing it.
This is a perfect excuse to fire up my L250s for a while and pop the hood on the PS1400.
At the beginning of the year they had 30-40 in both cherry and beech, and about 200 in black ash. On the list last month they only had black ash left and they were down to the last 30-40 of those. They will all be gone one of these days... but considering how misunderstood the Performance Series is, it is hard to say how long it will take to find homes for these last speakers.
FYI: They still have well over 100 of the PC600 center channel speakers too.

P - U What a stink!
Fuse is blown too. The green and black wires are the output to the woofer, so this looks like the amp burned, not the power supply. Interesting since it was idling overnight with no input

Miracles do happen.
The PS1400 plate amp that I bought off eBay last year for $20 ------- works!
Tested both the LF and LFE functions and it's all nominal. It makes big boom-boom.
Best money ever spent on eBay. When they were available, these amps were what - $350?
Still enjoying the heck out of my L250s though, might need to keep them in the HT for a while. Amazing how similar they sound.
