Thanks for fan advice but i think its too late, seeing that its already burnt up. I found my digi camera, but now im having lifter problems with my car (02 FireHawk). So this sound prob is gonna have to go on hold. Oh ya, David, I have no clue about what brands are good now for home entertainment. Got any brands or models you like? Thanx

Ok never mind. A guy i work with, who has designed circuit boards, told me its next to impossible to replace the part let alone find the right piece. So basically im saying screw it with Klipsch. 4.1 4=awsume 1=.... lets just say u guys need to seriously work on the 1 part. What a piece of crap...i just moved so i cant find my digital camera, but someday i will post a pic of the $0.000004 piece thats causeing my sub to sound like a old record player. This really blows Klipsch! And today i found another guy i work with who has the same 4.1 setup and he says his sub/amp lived just long enough to outlive the warranty. I have a stereo sitting in my living room from the early 80's, and it survived my teens, 4 years of the Marine Corps, and 1 year more. If the technology to make a lasting sound system was there in the 80's then Klipsch has some real explaining to do. As for my plans for my next setup? I am never buying anything sound related for my PC other than a sound card. I'm going home entertainment center for my PC (probably save money too). HDTV w/ 5.1 surround(Bose or something) ...HDTV for the monitor...aww yeah! Has anyone ever blown their TV set? or their living room stereo? Ive blown some monitors and this would be my 2nd sound system for my PC thats gone bad....

Also, u can actually unplug the connections to the computer AND the connection from the volume/base/surround control from the sub and the sub will still put noise threw the speakers and get hot to touch. On another note, last night i took the sub apart and found a burnt spot on one of the boards. Im not experienced enough to know what is broke or how to replace but i will try and post a pic of the burnt spot some time in the next week. It "looks" like and easy fix, but, again, i have no idea how to fix it. Any input is greatly appreciated P.S. last night i tryed turning the volume up pretty loud to see what it sounded like (mainly because i havent had it tht loud in the past year). I noticed my subs sound like they are blown (both spekaers) and the 4 speakers get really crappy sounding, kinda choppy too. Thanx

Good i was about to post the same question. I have (obviously) narrowed this down to a power/output problem. I am taking my sub to work tomorrow where my boss has offered the use of his multi meter. Does anyone know where i can find data sheets on this sub so we can check voltages throughout the box? What im tryin to say is, i want to check every damn spot i can put the multi meter and check voltages. Has anyone solved this problem before? (and yes i have tryed the forum's search function) Also my sub gets hot as crap! I have found another post where some guy sad his sub was getting too hot to touch and his only reply was call Klipsch they will be in later this week. Thanx
