Yep, that was it....working now.

I think I might be using the wrong outputs on the tv. I went off the Composit AV L & R outputs which are RCA. I found the tv manual online and it also has 3.5mm audio output. So, I think I need a cable with RCA on one end and a 3.5 on the other.

Speakers are here(hear), but I have a problem. The tv is an older Vizio smart tv and the receiver is a Sony STR-DH190. I have them hooked up using the audio out from tv, to audio in on the receiver using an RCA cable(s). I can't get the receiver to hear the TV. I have gone through the settings on the tv and changed all the relative sound parameters, but I must be missing something.

Right, to me it seems like that would work against the bass. In all fairness, I have never had the pleasure of hearing a pair of Khorns. Kinda pointless now that too many power tools and shooting has done its thing to my ears and on top of that, the Tinnitus is like a chorus of Cicadas 24/7.....

When he was grabbing the torx bit with a pair of pliers, I thought I was going to scream out loud. He bought a pair of $14,000 speakers but does not own a bit ratchet, or adapter for a regular ratchet, a torx socket, or a driver handle for most of the screws that were not under the edge of the cabinet?? Holeey crap....

I think I'm going this route, and keep looking for a KLF-C7. If/when I can find one I can use the RP-160M's for my basement or my shop.

Now that's a thought....!

Just wondering, would it be blasphemy to even think about mixing in the new with the old?.....a R-52C http://centerspeakerzone.com/klipsch-r-52c-review/ bottom of the barrel....or a better freq response: https://www.crutchfield.com/p_714500C2E/Klipsch-Reference-Premiere-RP-500C-II-Ebony.html

Thanks for the detailed info, I'll see if I can't run a KLF-C7 down.

That would be quite the trip...shipping to 37881( it's a thought)?

My current receiver is a Sony 2 channel and I want to move up to a home theater type, so looking at these: https://www.crutchfield.com/p_158STDH590/Sony-STR-DH590.html?tp=179 https://www.crutchfield.com/p_022RXV385/Yamaha-RX-V385.html?tp=179 I want to buy a used Klipsch center speaker, so which one to look for? There is a KSP-C6 close-by on Fleabay, & a KLF-C7 in the garage here. I'm not sure which one would be better for my set up?

Speaking of the 70's does anyone remember Sonab speakers? Back then I was a broke student, but working two jobs, so I had a little $. I was torn between a pair of Sonab's or Klipsch. While at the audio showroom, an employee dollied in a set of large Sonab's, said they were blown out during a house party and needed repair....I went with Klipsch, but have to say the sound of the Sonab's was amazing.

Ordered(found it on the 'zon for $12 & change shipped)...much thanks for the info & I will update the status once I open the speaker up.

Ok, I found the dust cover and it's intact🙃. I will disassemble the speaker in a few days. What kind of adhesive do I use on the dustcover, and spider if it is detached?

Wait...a synapse fired(audible crack)...this was my second set of Klipsch speakers....the first set went byby in a 2003 Divorce. I gotta lay off the shrooms....;>! Ok, solid advise, I am not sure if I put that dust cap where it could ever be found again. Will check out the voice coil and look at those aftermarket and used.....thanks!

Good grief, is my memory that bad? If so that is scary......2 decades is a lot to lose...are you sure about the dates?, or is there a year code in the serial number(s)?. Oh, and thanks for the link. Maybe someone here has tried these woofers? While I am in there, should I re-build the crossovers, if a kit is still available?

Are you heading anywhere near Asheville/Kingsport/Knoxville in the near future? I'm in NE TN.

Hello all, I bought these Klipsch speakers brand new around 1978. I have dragged them from NOLA, to TX, to FL, and now I'm retired and in TN. These have been an outstanding investment for 45 years.....love these speakers! Anyway, today there is a rattle in the mid woofer, so what are my options to fix or replace parts? Does Klipsch have drop in parts for these cabinets, or are us vintage folks on our own to attempt repairs? If I need to dig into to them, what am I looking for? M-7 Trying to upload pic's....
