klipsch1 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Hi everyone . I just purchased a pair of mid 90s klipschorns. when I hooked them up, I didnt get any sound from them . only got some bass from 1 speaker. when I checked closer, I saw that the fuse holder was sticking out and when I pushed it back in. then I got some sound. but the other speaker is not giving me any sound at all. but when I connect the speaker cables direct to the upper unit wires, then I get the mids and highs. but the fuse does not seem to want to stay in. and even when I do manage to get it in still no sound. the crossovers seem to work because I'm getting sound when I connect the speakers cables direct to the upper part of the speakers. please advise thanks so much. I just so frustrated because I just spent $3000 and I'm slowly losing my mind. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceptorman Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Did you audition them before you bought them? Did you haul them, or were they shipped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schu Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 There's a hook up issue, wiring disconnection with the top hat or damaged XO... all fairly simple fixes I doubt it's a driver issue. Carefully go over all connections and look for mis connected wiring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klipsch1 Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 I checked the crossover and it works because I put the leads for speaker wire from amp to the speaker wire on the upper level that holds the mids and tweeter and it works. but I can't get any sound from the regular input jacks on the side of the bass cabinet.

Schu Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 We need pictures of the working bits... is that fuse checked? Do you have a continuity checker? Are you bi-amping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schu Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 ^lol... yeapers. I am still wondering why OP's XO's do not match... I wonder if the two speakers are conservative numberings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schu Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I say unscrew that cup as see what's what inside. Also, I have seen brand new fuses that have been bad... try continuity testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
