Even with the unit power switch off when I plug it in the fuse blows. I've pulled the amp and can see nothing visibly wrong. I'm wondering if the amp is fixable without earning a degree in electronics. BIC America will sell a replacement for 125 shipped or I can buy a new one when one goes on sale.Individual ideas of what music should sound like can differ greatly, and the opinions about how music should make you feel are as numerous as the grains of sand on all the worldвЂ™s beaches.pThe 12 front firing F 12 powered subwoofer incorporates a high current 475 watt peak amplifier designed by BASH Technology in combination with a 12.241.99 Out of stockIn fact, the only thing that music lovers can agree on is that they disagree about everything.During my musical odyssey, IвЂ™ve worked my way through more subwoofers than I care to remember, and while for the most part, theyвЂ™ve all allowed me to enjoy my chosen genre of music, IвЂ™ve never found the perfect one.While IвЂ™m sure that it exists, and knowing that somewhere out there, itвЂ™s just waiting for me to stumble across perpetually eats away at my psyche, it also gives me hope that one day, IвЂ™ll find it.And that determination, that need to find perfection pushed me in the direction of BIC AmericaвЂ™s F-12, a surprising and deceptively powerful, subwoofer solution to every music loverвЂ™s eternal conundrum.

Bic America Formula F12 Full Audio Power

And, already being a fan of the brand, I shouldnвЂ™t have expected anything less than excellence when I added the F-12 to my stereo set-up.After all, I was brought up listening to BIC America speakers, and my first set was inherited from an older sibling who was bound for college and hadnвЂ™t been and wasnвЂ™t as consumed, by the all-conquering power of music as I was.Realizing that the prize that IвЂ™d spent most of my life searching for could finally be within my reach, made me more than a little anxious as I unboxed and prepared to unleash the full audio power of the F-12.No one wants to add an ugly piece of equipment to their set-up, they want it to seamlessly fit in with everything else, and while the majority of my fellow music freaks would probably describe the F-12 as being unobtrusive at best, I like the way it looks.ItвЂ™s a simple elegant design that defies time and doesnвЂ™t date the speaker in the same way that a lot of its contemporaries do. And letвЂ™s not even get into the reasons why anyone might be tempted to cover the gorgeous metallic cone that lies at the heart of this subwoofer.Did DaVinci add a mustache to the Mona Lisa? Leave it alone and let it do what it was meant to do, the way it was meant to do.It might not win any beauty prizes, but it is a sturdy, solid subwoofer that thanks to its weighty wood construction feels like itвЂ™ll take all the daily abuse that having a young family can, and will inflict upon it.And as lower frequencies and bass have a tendency to make speakers vibrate and begin to wander across hardwood floors, it was nice to see that BIC America had fitted the F-12 with a set of rubber feet (or вЂњshoesвЂќ as I used to call them when I was growing up) to prevent any potential, bass fueled the movement. Setting Up The F-12If youвЂ™ve ever connected a speaker to your system, youвЂ™ll have no problem adding the F-12 as it doesnвЂ™t deviate from convention.Plug the audio outputs from your system into the back of the subwoofer (which, I was delighted to see, used gold-plated terminals - itвЂ™s their constant attention to the small things that have helped BIC America to earn their reputation for designing and manufacturing solid reliable audio equipment), plug it in and switch everything on.Depending on the level of volume, and bass (which be increased and decreased with the frequency control), that you enjoy, set the dials on the back of the F-12 accordingly and step back and let the music drift over you and take you to that place in your imagination that your favorite records always transports you to.And itвЂ™s devastatingly easy to adjust those levels until theyвЂ™re just right for you, although if youвЂ™re anything like I am, the volume and bass levels will need to be altered to accommodate whatever it is that youвЂ™re listening to, and as the F-12 makes this simple, it was another tick in my big book of music must-haves. The Sweet Spot - Position Is EverythingEvery music fanatic has their own sweet spot, that place where the tone and sound are just right, and the F-12 will happily take up that position if you want it to.But given the level of the F-12вЂ™s performance, you might find that your old sweet spot has changed, so a little experimentation is needed.It took me a couple of hours to find my new вЂgolden positionвЂ™, but as soon as I did, I knew this subwoofer was absolutely worth every second of taking the time to tweak, shift and alter where it was placed - and it all came down to incrementally small adjustments, but as I said when I did find where the F-12 needed to be, it was completely worth the hassle and all of the trouble.Although, if IвЂ™m brutally honest it wasnвЂ™t really any trouble or hassle as it gave me a chance to play around with the F-12 and get used to it and what it could do. How Does The F-12 Perform?All of the things that youвЂ™d expect a decent subwoofer to include have been forged into the F-12.Magnetic shielding? Check. Gold plated terminals? Check.
