Nitemare Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) Hey Guys, i finally got my Klipsch RW 12D repaired (blown sub amp had to be replaced). Now i have the following problem. When the sub plays frequencies below 35 Hz there are extreme - wind like(chuffing)? - noises coming from within the sub. The bass is not played correctly. A bit of air comes out of the back from the sub where the electronics are. I also checked if the port tube is loose, but it isn't so this doesn't seem to be the problem. Does anyone know what this could be? I hope you can understand what i mean. English is not my native tongue. If you need some clarifications i try to elaborate.

CECAA850 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 There should be no air escaping around OR through the amp. You might need to install some weather-stripping to seal it. Get that fixed and try it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitemare Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 Just to close this one. The guy repairing it didn't put in all screws so the air came out of all the open holes in the back of the sub. He just put 2 screws to hold the electronic unit in place. It's funny because instead of just looking at the sub i jumped to conclusions that the guy messed up the repair. Well, next time i know better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoboKlipsch Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I had an entire thread about this....lol! Glad you figured it out. Leaks are not very noticeable on a ported sub until the low tones are played somewhat loudly, at which point the sub begins to sound like it's farting........

Sounds like he did if screws were missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitemare Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 jeah he kinda, but it could have come to my mind instead of boasting about this on a forum i could have looked at the back of the sub and came to the conclusion earlier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
