If you can't get your amp fixed or find an exact replacement you can try MCM Electronics. They sell subwoofer amplifier modules.

Answer 2

you can fix the amp in it,

but you could also just hook a amp to the LFE jack in you rec., and run it into a amp, or a rec, or what ever will power you have lieing around, the LFE will cut off the high HZ and only let the amp put out low HZ

it is a idea, and if you have the stuff lieing around it should work

good luck with it

Answer 3

You have mentioned that it was an active subwoofer, and that inplies that the subwoofer already has a amp inside. The amp that came with that subwoofer was designed for that speaker and enclosure. I would have it repaired and not to try another amplifer in place of the OEM. You can cause some damage if you add on another amplifer.
