Thank you for the great replies. The enclosure is sealed and each speaker has a volume of a little less that 3 cubic feet, with 3 considered the maximum allowable by the SpeakerLab Technical Compendium. partsexpress looks like a great source for a panel amp and I had no idea that a place like that was out there.

I saw a salvaged "amp panel" from an RW-10 for sale and it got me thinking, could I connect this to two 12" drivers that I have in a cabinet? Here is some background. I built a passive subwoofer back in 1980 using two high quality 12" drivers that I bought from SpeakerLab. I built a cabinet using high-density particle board with rough dimensions of 18"Hx24"Wx24" deep. I split the cabinet with a board running diagonally(top view) to isolate the two 12" drivers. I had coils wound on 3" diameter torroid cores with 10 gauge copper wire. The result was a decent sounding subwoofer, before most people knew what a subwoofer was. I learned that I am better off making more money at my job so that I could afford a good Klipsch speaker system. So back to the "amp panel". Any comments on what problems I might across with trying to us that amp when it is not matched to the speakers that I am using?

I found one of the power wires was disconnected in my sub and fixed it by slipping the spade lug back on to the tang. It may have slipped loose from the vibration. Slipping the spade lugs off and back on, to ensure a good connection, is an easy troubleshooting step. Trying the easy stuff first is usually a good idea.

I had the same problem with mine. Klipsch email support led me to the answer. You can order a replacement pod with all the pod wires, part CP-1, found here: http://www.klipsch.com/product/product.aspx?cid=763 It is $50 plus tax and shipping. Cost me $58, and well worth it, cutting into the molded DIN connector to resolder the pins would have been a mess.
