Moderators Youthman Posted August 17, 2015 Author Moderators Share Posted August 17, 2015 I agree scrappy, the RSW15 will not be here forever. Just waiting till wakejunkie feels he can begin working on the new front wall before I begin to consider other options for subs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted August 21, 2015 Author Moderators Share Posted August 21, 2015 It's been a crazy hectic week....haven't had a chance to even hook up the new RSW-15 and try out various locations to see what works best. Hope to be able to on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted August 24, 2015 Author Moderators Share Posted August 24, 2015 Well, last night I hooked up the RSW-15 and got no sound. Seems like the RCA inputs are slightly loose so hopefully it's just a solder issue. Before purchasing it, I tested it with the same RCA to 3.5mm using my phone and it worked just fine at their house. I'm going to remove the amp when I get home this evening to see I can see where it's loose. Hopefully it will be an easy fix. If not, I will contact a friend that should be able to repair it for me.

derrickdj1 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) Do the auto on lights work? Also check the fuse. Edited August 24, 2015 by derrickdj1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted August 24, 2015 Author Moderators Share Posted August 24, 2015 Clarification...the sub works but I have to put pressure on the RCA jack. I'm thinking the RCA jacks need to be replaced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busht4169 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Clarification...the sub works but I have to put pressure on the RCA jack. I'm thinking the RCA jacks need to be replaced Pretty simple fix for a DIY'er or pro. New jack(s) and a soldering iron will fix that in about 5 mins.

babadono Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I don't know how Klipsch did these RCA jacks, but they could be soldered right to a PCB. If so could just be a cracked solder joint on the PCB itself from putting a cable off and on too many times. Too much mechanical stress, if that makes sense.

Moderators Youthman Posted August 24, 2015 Author Moderators Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) Here is the outside and inside where the RCA jacks are. Looks like they are in a plastic case. The RSW15 woofer is a BEAST! Edited August 24, 2015 by Youthman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) Youthman, it is easier than you think. Especially if you did the XO mod on the RF 7's. I think I brought a soldering iron from Harbor Freight with the wire to melt for around $10. Just pull the amp and take a look. I must have been typing when you posted the pic's. Let's get Carl's input. Edited August 24, 2015 by derrickdj1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Youthman Posted August 24, 2015 Author Moderators Share Posted August 24, 2015 Looks like they just used some glue to seal it to the cabinet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busht4169 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Looks like they just used some glue to seal it to the cabinet Oh shoot...That's no good. Anyone have any idea what a good remover would be without damaging the enclosure? You risk danger of damaging the whole enclosure if forcefully removed.

Moderators Youthman Posted August 24, 2015 Author Moderators Share Posted August 24, 2015 It was an adhesive strip, not glue. Klipsch uses the same to seal the horn on my RF7ii. I was able to safely remove it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
