My SPL-150 also has this new amp. It looks like they extended the circuit board and moved the resistor to that new area (along with all the new silk screen markings). The resistor is still right next to a cap, just on the other side. Not sure how hot this new resistor gets. The best advice is still to cut all power to the amp completely when not in use. Use a triggered switch that some power conditioners have or use a smart powerbar that can be triggered with 12v from your receiver so the sub amp powers on only when your receiver is powered on and set the sub to always on.

Thanks! Will do that first and report back!

I've got a dedicated HT (13.5' x 18' x 8') I've got Def Tech speakers with a 7.1.4 Atmos setup with dedicated ceiling speakers. I purchased the R-115SW to ensure I had enough bass for the HT and it definitely does! While it's a dedicated space for HT, I still do have restrictions for Sub placement due to the seating and the R-115SW cannot be placed in the rear corners without blocking the path around the seating. I currently have the R-115SW placed in the front left corner and as luck would have it... there is a deadspot exactly in the seating area! In fact, if I stand up, the dead spot is gone and when I sit down, it's there! I have yet to conduct the crawl test... the sub is pretty heavy and my wife definitely won't help me lift it... I'm also considering a 2nd sub but not sure if I should get another R-115SW and place it front right corner (seems like overkill as there is plenty of bass). Or possibly getting a smaller sub like a R-110SW which may be able to squeeze into the right rear corner. Any suggestions or recommendations on the 2nd sub?
