ProMedia 2.1 Sub replacement options?

[bozzchem]

The foam surround on my Promedia 2.1 sub has split and it now sounds like $hit.

What is the recommended repair?

I see:

• A foam replacement kit on Amazon for $25.
• A replacement sub on eBay for $35 that isn't Klipsch but supposedly works with the system.
• A completely new Promedia 2.1 system on eBay for $100

This sub should be available from Klipsch for $10! It isn't anything special.

I don't know what it is about Klipsch subs. My KSW-15 has been a point of contention in my home theater setup but that is a completely different topic.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I'm not normally a big fan of the Klipsch HT subs, but recently they added the SW-115, and folks are really liking it.

I am a fan of Promedia, and I have a 5.1 and a 2.1. To date I haven't found anything that sounds any better. If you know that the foam surround is the problem, then most definitely replace it before buying a driver that may not have the appropriate TS parameters for the box. They sell the kits on Ebay for $22.70 free shipping.

I posted a thread where I replaced the subs driver with a paper surround version off Ebay. Really has worked out well and I don't have to worry about this surround LOL.

Here it is. Looks like you can still get the driver too.

Not sure if everyone just wants to change compenents to after market or what, but just a heads up that you can call Klipsch and order replacement parts.

 

A brand new woofer for my sub that I ordered today was only $30 shipped to California.
