  1. Since posting this thread quite a while ago, and not having gotten in touch with a Klipsch dealer, I've let the subwoofer sit for a while unusued. Now, I'm unable to find a way to acquire a remote pod for an "obsolete product" like the ProMedia 4.1. So, we took the speaker apart to see what the circuitry looked like on the inside, and found that something's not working quite right. The power supply seems to be giving 50 volts to a card with a large copper coil on it. From that card, the output is only 7 volts, going to the five amplifier boards. This wouldn't be enough to power these boards, so I suspect that, even if I do find a remote pod, this speaker wouldn't work correctly. On the other hand, it is possible that the pod, in some way, turns the speaker "on" when it sends information to it, and without that "on" signal, the speaker is simply not passing on the full strength of the power supply. So, that may be what's causing the problem. I asked for information about schematic before, and didn't receive a reply. Since this is an old speaker system now, it's possible that the information is out there, and I'm just unable to find it on my own. If anyone knows where I could get it, I'd appreciate it. Alternatively, if anyone knows enough about the inner-workings of the speaker that they'd be able to give me some information about what's going on, any little bit helps. I'm posting a few pictures of the interior for reference.
  2. Now, theoretically, if a person could find a schematic for this subwoofer, could they change that input to a standard type and connect the subwoofer to a separate equalizing amp? Also, is there a schematic for this speaker available?
  3. Well, I'm not particularly worried about having more satellite speakers, since I already have several of various types. However, the "pod" might be the piece that I need to get. The rightmost circular port on the panel photo is the input, and I don't have any connector that's anything like that. I suspect that it's a Klipsch-specific input from "the remote pod". Can anyone confirm this for me? What purpose does the pod fill?
  4. And a shot of the box front and side, which looks nothing like the subwoofer photos on the Klipsch website.
  5. It is a non-standard input, and the subwoofer has an internal amp (although with no equalizing controls). However, the output to other speakers is not the sort of thing that I would expect to see on a subwoofer that's designed for computers. I'll attach pictures showing the input and output, the panel as a whole, and an overview of the device. The logos you see on the box are Klipsch, Bash, and THX.
  6. Greetings. I have just recently acquired a Klipsch powered subwoofer secondhand, but I only have the device itself, not any of the miscellany that might come with it, including an input cable or any documention. I haven't been able to identify the subwoofer from the website information either by description or by picture (unfortunately many products on the site don't yet have pictures). It has the "A legend in sound Klipsch LLC" logo, the "Bash" logo, and a white sticker that has two P/N's on it, one titled "Klipsch P/N" (09050281210) and the other titled "Spares P/N" (143914-001). Searching for product numbers on the Klipsch website turns up no results, and the only two results for "bash" were speakers that are visually quite different from the one that I have. So, I have two questions to anyone who might be able to help me. Firstly, plainly, how can I identify what my subwoofer is? Secondly, how can I acquire an input cord, user manual, and perhaps schematic for this speaker? Any help would be appreciated.
