Maybe good news. I desoldered the MC908AP8, It doesn't appear damaged, I must have a short on a component. I also noticed that the LM7815CV suffered from the heat.

 

 

Hey Jean Pierre:

 

Thank you for reaching out about the size of the text. It is way above my paygrade and tech ability to tell you, other than it looks like you are copying and pasting from a translation program. 

 

I just resized your text, in Google Chrome browser, I hightlghted the text, went up to "size" at top and resized to 12 size font. Hope that helps:

@ngen33r  I have a Klipsch RSW-15 that appears to have a bad amp.  I replaced the woofer with another sub-woofer and it exhibits the same behavior.  (occasional output is heard and woofer is intermittent).   I removed the amp and can ship it to be serviced.  Are you performing repairs or can you recommend someone to repair?  Thank you

Hello all! I have a SUB-10 that blew the input filter caps which I replaced and got the amp to turn on. Now the subwoofer output is very low and distorted, similar to Bman on page 9. I don't have access to a scope. I'd like to save this amplifier and can ship it out, same question as IT Johnny, looking for a recommendation on someone who can repair it.

hallo,

Ik ben in het bezit van een RS10 Klipch-subwoofer

in de volumeknop zit een krakend geluid, is dit probleem op te lossen of te repareren

heb hem al een keer naar een reparatiecentrum gebracht die al 40 jaar bestaat,en die had gezegd dat en niet aan onderdelen is te komen

nu is mijn vraag of hij vervangen te repareren is

mvg peter s

I was attempting to fix a broken sub 12 and got too excited and just plopped Q5 in as if the pinout was 1:1 and blew up Q6, Z2 on the main board and the big power resistor R51. Does anyone know what the Q6 and Z2 are so I can replace them. Other than the big scorch mark left behind by the resistor burning im hoping there was minimal damage done. My unit has the board that sits perpendicular to the metal plate if it makes a difference.

I have a RP-W10 and the power is working but not getting any sound.  I feel the capacitor/capacitors are out and I am not really equipment to repair and do not have the experience to fix.  I am looking to get this fixed and would be glad to take some place or ship but not sure if it is worth it?  I am open to peoples thought!

Hello, how to troubleshoot a cranking noise or bad noise when listening music from the subwoofer? When i touch with my finger the switches for the phase and the other one or the potentiometer came a distortion noise to the speaker.

Hello there,

 

Have a sub 12 subwoofer from the 1200 cinema that quit working during music play. Light indicates it's connected (solid blue light) but no sound. I'm no dyi person. Do you take on repairs from this blog? And what would be worse case scenario price for a fix like this? I'm trying to avoid sending this out to someone that would do a hack job. Sounds like your the best at these repairs.

Ive got a Klipsch Model:R-100SW-RCS 

I can't figure out what's wrong. It turns on fine and plays music then a couple minutes in it starts making scratchy static noise while still playing the music then it stops completely and no music just static and some popping noise. 

Any help would be great. Thanks
