Mani-aX Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 i was called monday this week and told that my sub was repaired and ready to go. picked it up tuesday and tested everything out. everything looks / sounds as is it should. there was no fee since the unit was still under warranty. 2 1/2 months without the sub though is a bit ridiculous...

Thaddeus Smith Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 you should be ok. My sub has a separate amp and rear panel (amp is on the bottom), where yours, i believe, has everything integrated into the same plate. I didn't use the replacement cord or display provided and everything seems to be ok. The only reason I would suggest strongarming for the display/cable would be in case you have issues with those items in the future ..it's nice to have readily available spares. I was out of warranty and worked directly with klipsch, so I'm not sure how/if the scenario changes when working with a dealer under warranty repair.

Homecrunch Posted January 28, 2010 Author Share Posted January 28, 2010 Yeah, mine is on the same plate. But, I've seen faulty displays before, and it would be nice to have a spare (especially if I paid for it). I'll be hooking the amp up tonight and kicking the junky Sony subwoofer to the curb...cant wait!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wazzul Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 So I'm looking at sending in an RW-12d out of warranty of course. Wondering if anyone from this thread had to pay out of pocket to Klipsch and how much it cost? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have to unsolder old ones and solder new ones in? i would highliy recommend you contact klipsch, spend the ~$200 and just get an entirely new amp replacement. FYI, Klipsch no longer carries the part you are referring to. Below is an email thread I've had with customer support today: Doug, When a product is no longer in production and is beyond the warranty period…the repair path is the most cost efficient and best method for getting your product functioning again. IF replacement amps with in stock and in large supply…as in if we still manufactured this product model…then yes, we often offer replacement parts for product models. I believe Sybesma can now offer a flat rate of $120 * for repair of the RW-12d amp for you. I will verify this with them. The quicker they receive the amp for repair, the quicker you can get your subwoofer going again. * this amount is different from the below pricing information and you can verify the cost and turn-around time direct with Sybesma. 800-456-4265 When replying to this email, please include the original message and all replies.

Have you replaced the fuse? If so, were you using a "SLO BLO" type fuse? If you may have been using a fast acting fuse, these will blow immediately. If you have a Radio Shack near you, their part number for the appropriate slow blow fuse is: 270-1068. If it blows the slow blo fuse, then the amplifier portion would need to be serviced and you will want to contact our national electronics repair center Sybesma's Electronics for amp repairs. They provide this service for a $240.00 flat fee (not including shipping). I have provided Sybesma's contact information below. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

TamasM Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Hi All, I have the same problem. It started with fuse blowing. What I found is one of the FET was faulty in the power supply modul. But after swap it to the same one the power supply still don't want to start. No fuse blow, but nothing work after the coil part. So it doesn't make any DC neither for feature module neither for AMP module. The AMP and the feature module is working I ahve tested. I want to swap the power supply to a similar one. Can you please measure the voltage output for the AMP module (the black and red wire toward AMP module)? Is it fixed or changing in line the input? Thanks,TamasM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TamasM Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I found the problem the DB6 DIAC was also wrong in the PDC board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
