ayla Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 This is the first time I write in this forum. I replaced an old Rf61 by a Palladium 17B and this has happened to me when trying to put the speaker cable: the conection is unscrewed! Someone know how access to the crossover in an easy way?

ayla Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share Posted July 9, 2016 https://www.dropbox.com/s/jluwbq803sz7m3x/OOMD8953.JPG?dl=0 I have put thousands of cables in speakers and I had never gone this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjptkd Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Well shoot, I guess the good news is it appears to have just come unscrewed and is not broken off. I've never opened mine up before and hope to never have to but it would be interesting to know how to. Sorry man, hopefully someone with a little more info can come along and help you out! Good luck!

ayla Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share Posted July 9, 2016 Thanks.. I thing the only access is the bass speaker but It is very easy to damage it in the process http://assets.klipsch.com/herobox-images/Klipsch-Palladium-Series-Handmade.jpg http://www.hifishock.org/galleries/speakers/klipsch/palladium-p-17b-2-klipsch.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karsoncookie Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 If you gently re insert and attempt to thread in the stud, does it not engage with the hidden nut? If not, only then you may have to go inside. Someone who intimately knows this particular ?proprietary? binding post needs to advise. I would hope one of the Klipsch employees on this board should be able to help you, if not others. Be assured , you are in the right place to get this help. Give it a day or two, and keep your post at the top. Lars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karsoncookie Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Even if you can get the stud screwed back in, it may come apart in future when you remove the cable. You need to find out how to permanently fix it. If it was strictly a mechanical joint, some type of Loctite would work. BUT - this is a signal carrying connection, and that is probably not be a good solution. Lars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karsoncookie Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Gentlemen and Ladies of the Forum - How is that terminal cup attached? Kinda funny, but is it possible it's press in friction fit? Lars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayla Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 If you gently re insert and attempt to thread in the stud, does it not engage with the hidden nut? I've tried.....I think that fits with a nut that has fallen.... The speakers are new and I'm talking to the store where I bought the speakers.... Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felitopaz Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I would let the store deal with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayla Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) But now I'm using my old RB 61 after hearing the Palladium for 2 days and it's very frustrating Why all the expensive devices are often so difficult to disassemble? I found a picture of the internal connection (It is a floor standing model but I think it will be the same tipe of connection) https://www.dropbox.com/s/9cp2z3qqcut67g4/palladium-assembly-hope-arkansas_3043299851_o.jpg?dl=0 Edited July 10, 2016 by ayla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will never use these speakers with bare wire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
