Lets see now !!! 1999 jimmy, average milage is 20k per year times that by 5 years were at 100k . Did you not stop to think maybe it was about time for some TLC ? are you one of those guys that waits for things to fly apart before taking any action ? Tires getting to the point of showing chords ?????????? Your just as much to blame as her for not checking there condition every month. Do you also leave it up to the wife to change the oil ??? Ever read that tinny liitle book that sits in the glove box ? They call it the owners manual , intresting enough it does tell even the dumbest male what to have checked at what milage. You guys all stand around and scratch your balls and kick your tires at the local 7-11 but few of you really have a clue how to fix or maintain anything on a automobile. Just because your a man does'nt mean you were born with the ability to repair a vehicle, it's not your god given right you know. I'm a welder by trade and working on my pipefitting ticket as we speak, my uncle who raised me ( my mom and dad died in a car crash when i was very young) was a service manager at a general moters dealership. I learned how to plug and or patch a tire before i started into make-up. You want to test you mechanical knowledge against a woman go ahead and throw out your questions , i'll reply with my own and we'll see who know what about fixing and or repairing a vehicle , i put myself through college working in a garage .

I'm 100% girly girl I've seen my share of assorted members , now i'm looking for the big " bank account " lol

YUP !! I've got the same problem with men . Now i'm looking for one with a big ____

I don't get this whole ohms thing ? Could someone serve me a link or explanation as to the ohms relationship to the amplifier. What has more resistance a 4ohm speaker or a 8ohm speaker , does resistance not go up with the # , and would a 16ohm speaker not be the hardest to drive . I'm completly lost here ? Old tube amps have 3 sets of taps 4/8/16 right. So what happens if you hook a 8ohm speaker to the 4ohm tap ? or the 16 ohm tap ? Would a 2ohm speaker not be the ultimate ? Like i said this gets more confusing with every explanation that comes. Thanks in advance .

Are you guys implying the speaker may be picking up noise from elsewhere ? The one in question has a fridge sitting behind it in another room , there is also 2 A/C outlets within a foot of the speaker. The ST70 sits on a stand 2 feet off the ground and about 1 foot from the speaker in question. ( problem ? ) If i'm reading you gentlemen correctly then i should try addressing these issues first. I have tryed several differnet amps and always get this noise , so like you men say , it's airborne or it's the speaker itself.

Thank you for your replies gentlemen . Answers to the few questions are #1 the speaker in question is making a buzzing sound ( not a hiss ) the sound is at idle and is noticable at lower volume levels , the buzzing sound is there even when everything in the whole system is disconnected ( so that eliminates a ground loop ) except the amplifier to the speaker. The buzzing or humming i guess you could also call it has no relationship to the room as mentioned above it can be heard at idle but is taken over in level when source material is played , but between song tracks or a low listening levels you can hear this sound. The replacement driver has K-33 stamped on it but i do not know if it was installed correctly , My freind has a camera i could borrow and take pictures of the new driver and its poor soldering conections. With this new information do you gentlemen have any other suggestions ? PS. the down under comment is a female joke Max is also my brothers nickname , plus he's doing time in the max . You men don't have to tenderfoot your replies , i can follow along fairly well, i took electronics in high school so i know the terms ( but not all the curcuit paths ) I'm a welder by trade and i'm working on my pipefitter tickets right now. I went back and re-read ricks comments , what is 60hz radiation ?

Can anyone give me a little direction in tracking a noise in a 1991 klipsch cornerhorn. My brother left these in storage for a few years then asked me to look after them for awhile, he's a guest of the state for a dime. The problem is a low level humming sound , the humming is not source related. I've tryed switching amp channels and different amp . The sound always follows the same speaker regaurdless of source, inter-connect , speaker cable , A/C plug etc etc etc . I removed the woofer door and someone has replaced the bass driver at one time and done some real rookie soldering , it looks bad but appears to have good adheasion. I've hooked the speaker leads directly to the bass driver and directly to the HF leads and still get this noise . Can there be a problem in the crossover and if so then why am i getting the noise when going direct to the drivers them selves ? I may not have tested something correctly or you may need some more information. Any response would be of great assistance to an otherwise baffled and or uninformed klipsch owner. Thanks . Kerri lynn
