    I purchased this July, 5th and it was great up until I started noticing the subwoofer cutting in out and it has been doing this for the past few days. So, now today Sept, 18th the subwoofer has been having that crazy extra thump to it where you can tell something is definitely not right. I looked on JBL website and they are closed for the day so I will definitely be hitting them up in the morning 9am est. Its crazy cuz it’s been less than 3 months since I’ve purchased it and on top of that I barely play it on the regular so that’s an extra disappointment!
