My Dog chewed my sub-woofer.

It was between the power core and the wall. It's a Paradigm PS-1000 if that has any bearing. Any suggestions? I had a stroke so I cannot solder any more.

Ow! Sorry about the stroke, that is difficult to say the least. My suggestion: can you explain more what is damaged? What are the symptoms?
P.S. Next time don't leave your homework by the subwoofer!

You could butt splice and shrink wrap if you are still able to do that.

I will contact Paradigm and see.

Please tell us, more clearly what the dog chewed. I'm imagining the power cord, but that would be very simple repair. (Soldering would be best, maybe requiring less strength than wire nuts.)

That's a simple repair. If you can't do it yourself because of health reasons, I hope that you have a friend who can assist. (Maybe whoever helped you move the sub?) It won't require a lot of skill.

I will find somebody. I have an

iron... Thank you!

Where are you located ? Maybe one of us could help you out. It really is a simple repair.

Was the sub unplugged at the time of the chewing? Having trouble figuring out how the dog survived that bit of handiwork.

Don't worry about it. I'm in

Austin Texas! So...

Having a dog is not easy at all and I say this from my own experience because it is a lot of stress and time lost, but I think it is worth it. Why? Because since I have a dog I always feel an indescribable connection that I have with him and wherever I go I feel that deep connection, which gives me a lot of positive energy. Lately, my dog has started to have some health problems and we had to go to the vet. He recommended us dog dental water additive and on the same day we took it from 🥇10 Best Water Additive for Dogs Teeth to Buy in (April 2021) - Buyer’s Guide and I am very happy that his pain passes and everything return to normal.

Mark - sorry you had a stroke and sorry the dog chewed your cable. That should be a very simple repair. The easiest repair is to strip both wires and splice them to a new plug. The best repair is to open up the sub and attach a new cable to it. Hopefully paradigm or someone local can help.

FYI - This story is 2 years old & OP hasn't been here in 15 months.

I hope he didn't try chewing the cord himself.
