I have an RW 12D sub the display is "ON" but the unit will not put sound out. I verified in the receiver menus the sub is setup and should be pushing sound. I pulled my small 8" sub from another room to verify the cable and sub setup is working and I get sound from 8" sub no problem but when the RW 12D is hooked up I have no sound but I do see the display window is active and on. I even took the RW12D to the other room and hooked it up to that other system where I pulled the 8" sub from - just to try it and got no sound via that setup either. I don't see a fuse on the back panel that I could check or change, so I pulled the back board but still didn't see any sort of fuse to check or replace, (I could be missing it) - I unplugged it and let it sit a few hours but no luck when plugging it back in, is there anything I can check or do? I don't see anything on this board that looks burnt worn or a fuse that I can see/tell or change. Confused and bummed (since i rarely even have this sub plugged in or on).

I have an older set of RF35's I use in my primary movie theater room, great speakers but oneday I was driving them a bit hard and I heard one tower start to crackle. I figured I blew a tweeter, and these are older so I decided to order up a new set and just fix them. The replacement tweeters came and I swapped it out but the crackle was still there, tried the 2nd new tweeter just to confirm and again the crackle is still there. Swapped the L/R connectors (to eliminate it being the receiver), and it's coming from that same tower, so at this point is it the crossover inside the speaker that's faulty or damaged? Can I even get a replacement or is there anywhere that can rebuild mine? Lastly anything else that it could be? The speaker itself sounds great until you plug in a tweeter new or original they just have a crackle blown sound to them on that one tower.

Hey guys I have a set of RF35 towers that I LOVE and have been using for well over 10 years now, recently we had a live concert playing and had turned it up a bit more than usual, well I heard a sorta high frequency hiccup that I had never heard before, now when we watch something over about 65=70% on our receiver we certainly hear it from that one tower So I assume we blew out a tweeter, is something like this replaceable being this old? Can i remove it and visibly see a blown tweeter to confirm that is what happened? I saw a video on youtube where a guy had "rebuilt" a tweeter, soldering a new one in place, heck I haven't ever tried something like this but I can solder and would be willing to try it if it would get me fixed up again. Till now they have just worked flawlessly and it was my own fault for pushing them a bit more than I should have I guess, at medium to lower volume i don't hear anything weird but go above 65% and yeah it's there sadly Bill
