Hi,
Disclaimer: I am not an electronics expert.
I have a Klipsch Synergy Sub12 subwoofer (almost 7 years old). Recently the fuse blew on it. I have replaced the fuse with a 3.15A 250V slow blow fuse from radio shack. This is the recommended fuse model. However, the fuse still keeps blowing when i power on the sub-woofer. I hear a short grinding noise and then the fuse blows.
I called the Klipsch service line and was told that I need to replace the electronics in the sub-woofer. They quoted my $165 for an electronics part. I was also told that it is a very easy install.
Does this sound right? I am looking for some advice on if i should buy this part and attempt to install myself OR buy the same sub on Amazon (available for $299). If i buy through amazon will i get the manufacturers warranty on it? I believe Klipsch has stopped making this product.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks
