Subwoofer Half Works

Alright so here's the situation.

I bought a KRK 10s subwoofer from a guy for really cheap. He said it didn't work right and may have been hit by lightning.

It's a powered sub. The volume knob on it goes from -30db to 6db, with 0 being in the center. When the volume is below zero, the sub works fine, but once it is turned up past 0, all sound cuts out.

Any ideas on what this could be or how to fix it? Maybe the volume pot or the amplifier?

Thanks in advance

I checked the volume pot, and it seems to be in working order. There are no visible burns or anything anywhere within the circuit. Still stumped.

Thanks for the info, Minnie.

I have already emailed them with no reply, and I also called their tech support, but the only help they would offer was to have me ship it in to them and they would fix it. It's honestly not worth that amount of money to me to ship it and pay them to repair it. It's something I would like to try on my own.

Unfortunately it looks like they don't sell replacement parts to non dealers...

Yeah I was kind of hoping its just like a resistor or capacitor or something that needs replaced and I can just do that myself. However, the problem lies in finding which one on what part it might be.
