Ok i'm lost as lost can be lol,
I blew my PC sub the other week, the amp and 2 satalites still work fine, but the sub is 100% dead.
Getting it repaired looks to be hard/expensive, like..£60+ at the moment, what I need help with, is for the price, maybe I can buy a new/better sub?
I've been told I need a non-active sub because I already have an external amp, though I can't really seem to find any non-active subs.
Any help is appreciated, I don't want to get ripped of at my local store lol.
the speaker set is: Videologic Sirocco, and the only thing that doesn't work is the Sub, any links as to what sub I could buy to replace 
Thanks

Ah I thought so, I read around and I wasn't 100% sure though.
I'm looking at maybe cutting my losses and buying these:
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/74747#
They seem good, 55 reviews and the 1st 10 I read all say they sound amazing, mine I think have an output of 100W, these have 120W so should be just as good/better.
If it's going to cost me about £60 to repair, is it worth repairing my current sub, or paying £20 more and getting a whole new system?
Thanks

what's wrong with the sub?
I've not looked at the links, but is it a 7.1 channel system you have?

That's what I have m8
The 2 satalites each have 4 wires coming out of them and go into the back of the amp (so 8 wires total)
The sub then has 2 wires + and - and goes into the back of the amp.

Hmm looking at the prices m8, I'm wondering if i'd be better off going for a whole new system?
Their active subs there start at £70, for a new logitech 200W system is about £85.
Just seems a shame to bin 2 satalites and an amp when they work fine, don't know if they're worth selling to fund my new system or if they're worthless what do you think m8.
Thanks

Just such a shame, these speakers by far blow away anyone's i know, puts my panasonic stereo to shame (poor thing been sat here unused for years lol)
I might just buy them now, just thinking what I can do as these 2 sats and amp work perfect....paid alot for em all too.

No he lives down the road so would pick them up lol.
They'd be a lot to post, they weigh a fair bit.
