It has to be the female end since I've got a brand new control pod. So are you saying that you can replace just pin 2 on the female connector? From the looks of it, it seems that the whole mini-DIN plug would have to be removed and a new one soldered to the PCB board. What exact kind of DIN mount is it? I've been looking at various types of PCB mount type femail mini-DIN plugs. Thanks for the help.

If I touch the DIN cable that goes into my subwoofer in the slightest I get a loud pop in the speakers and subwoofer. Thinking this was the now infamout DIN cable issue, I ordered a new control pod thinking it would fix the problem. Well it did not, so it would seem to be the DIN connector/preamp connection on the subwoofer. Is this something that I can fix myself? I'm somewhat handy but don't know how difficult a task it is. I opened the subwoofer looked inside and it looks like the whole assembly is soldered & glued to the metal plate. Looks like a lot of work. Not sure if it's worth it and I don't know how much more money I want to sink into this after already spending $30 for the control pod. Klipsch makes some great quality speakers but this DIN fiasco was a pretty bad engineering decision. Any thoughts/help would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Nisi

I bought a new control pod because I had loud popping anytime the DIN plug would move even a little bit. I replaced the pod and I still have the problem and its seems to be the preamp input (female DIN) connector on the sub? Any ideas how to fix this?
