Logitech z5500

[Andreas2821]

hey!
I was wondering if anyone could help me out with something.
I got a Logitech z5500 home audio system (https://www.cnet.com/products/logitech-z-5500-digital-speaker-system-for-pc-tb825lla/specs/) and unfortunately I manage to ruin the subwoofer, and I could fix it but I see this as a good chance to upgrade the sub. 
Any good ideas?

you could just replace the driver in the sub if that's whats ruined

that speaker system has the amp inside the sub enclosure so there's not going to be a 100% direct universal replacement for the entire unit.

What you should do is grab the multi-meter put it on the resistance setting and probe the positive and negative to see what the resistance of the sub is, usually it is either 2, 4, or 8 ohm. (Sometimes it's 3 or 6 ohm) But, find out and then with that data you can buy a stand alone 10" sub. What you need to do is find a 10" sub that has the same resistance (in ohms) and roughly the same power limits. (say rated for around 200w) If you choose a sub that is rated for more power and the built in amp could only supply 188w then its going to sound very dull as the higher watt the sub is rated the lower the SPL per watt. Also most of the time if you drive say a 500w rated sub on 200w its going to have much weaker excursion and thus less infra-sonic bass. (aka ground shaking bass or deep bass) Which is what you want for a home theatre setup.
