Are you sure your in the right forum, My 2.1 is hard wired into the control pod. With the din plug using 5 of 6 pins and the sheilding/grounding wire for a total of 6 connections, along with a hard wired 1/8 inch stereo mini plug. I,m not saying your wrong, but I just have not heard of that configuration on a 2.1 7.1

Wiring done! I failed to notice the missing fuse cap. Could not locate one locally, so I will need to call Klipsch and have them send one out. Mister_Clean has written good instructions that should make for a clean looking job. I bought a 6' , 6 pin din (not a ps/2 not a keyboard or mouse cable) cable for 4 dollars,( the klipsch din input is narrow, buy a cable with the narrowest head or you may need to shave down the outer plastic just a bit) cut and stripped the wires, ohm tested the new cable for pin to color assignments and came out with one of the examples in the link I mentioned above. Soldered and insulated with heat shrinking tubes. Don't forget the shielding wires as it carries all speakers negative lines. No soldering gun? I have used a method taught to me that has not failed. Strip about four inches of the outer jacket and two inches from each wire. Twist tightly the matching wires and fold and twist and fold and twist again. Tightly wrap with electrical tape. Take half the wires fold back and half the wires fold up and wrap the whole enchilada. Better than wire nuts, which you could use but its kind of bulky. I'm sure the cable you buy will be standard, and pin 1 looking into the male plug (first one to the left of the alignment pin will be black wiring. to tie to klipsch's green wire. You can buy a suitable DMM for 4 dollars at Harbor Freight/Tools, among elseware. See M. Clean's #8 instruction. A DMM is the best insurance you can buy. 7.1

http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/p/87492/1030331.aspx#1030331 Remember this is a diagram of the male plug. The female is reverse order, #1 being to the right of alignment plug going clockwise. Not to say your a rookie, but too many people put the male and female out in front of them and number both the same way. If you follow the male number one pin into the female, see where it goes and you get the idea. I suggest anybody take a digital multimeter/volt meter and test female outs 2 and 6 for 15 volts.. One to test you have power and two, to understand if these go anywhere but to their intended destinations you just fried some electronics. This in a non standard application that one can only surmise is to increase parts sales when the do it yourself-er fries his circuits, mush like Dell did with their power supplies. Green is never a positive volt rail I have just bought these speakers discounted because of the missing din plug. I have yet to validate for myself and of the info presented in the link. Let you know tomorrow. 7.1
