Johnny you might get lucky and open the amp up to find a blown fuse. There are two fuses in there, one for each channel. Chances are one of them is blown. They sell replacements at radio shack. However, if you're unlucky like me, they're blown for a reason and even after replacing the fuse it will blow the new one.

I ended up calling into tech support and he confirmed that it is the internal amp. Seems like this is a known issue as he knew what it was right away. To further confirm this there are tons of subwoofers on eBay without the guts. Seems like a design flaw from Klipsch. I'm still deciding if i want to spend $90 bucks on a new amp or to just get a new set of speakers from a different maker.

It appears as though someone else is having a similar problem. http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/p/141422/1441243.aspx#1441243

Same thing happened to my left channel. My left speaker actually starting smoking so i assumed it was the speaker itself and spent $25 on a replacement. Excited when the UPS man delivered it, i ran up stairs to plug it in only to find it STILL not working. So i opened up the sub and found the two fuses. Excited once again that i found the problem (or so i thought) i ran to Radio Shack and purchased new fuses. After installing the fuses i powered the system on and heard a low humming noise followed by the notorious smell of burnt electronics. I immediately unplugged the speakers. Opened the box again and found the same fuse was blown yet again. I replaced the fuse and tested the terminals on both the left and right side. On the right side i read 0 volts and the right side gave me a reading of 24V. At this point I'm stumped. If anyone has any other recommendations i'd love to hear them.
