Mrgrimm Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Ngen33r I will be getting a rw10d with a speaker purchase and am told it does not power on. Do you have a base price for repair of the board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thane Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) Hey Mr. Klipsch amp expert. I have 2 of these plate amps off of wireless Klipsch subs. Both work but are not very loud.. They both seem to have the exact same problem. The power supply is only outputting 15 or so volts but it should be closer to 35 based on what is printed on the board.. I replaced the caps on one before I found this post. Other than removing all the yellow glue where would you start looking? Thanks in advance.

marems Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 I have an RW-8 that does not play loud anymore. It does not blow fuses, where would be a good place to start the diagnostics? I am considering recapping the whole thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucol Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 hi, team, i got this rw10, power led on, but no sound, only biz-biz sound on drum bit. i learned yellow glue stuff, need to replace parts. is this possible ONLY the D11 DB6 broken? (the yellow glue only cover the D11/D12 right pin, and glue already turned black) try to minimize the rework. many thanks in advance.

ucol Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 good morning please help me w/ these questions: where i can download the BASH schematics of RW-10, i only find RW-12... can I separate out the "PWR-BASH" brd and just connect 110V to L-N (J400/401)? on a good brd, what voltages we can expect? the pins of PRI+/CT+/CT- i got 171DCV on both PRI+ and CT+ the pins (GATE1/2, SPLY1/2) of PDC? i got 2.8dcv on gate1/2, nothing on sply1/2 the output pins of T400 thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yovani Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Hello. Thanks for this thread. I have a RW10 that works good on and off when it doesn't it just humms. Would it be the amp. Also where could we inquire about repair and cost? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPD Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I recently purchase a set of used Klipsch towers and the guy threw in a non workinga Klipsch Sub RW-12. I took off the power supply amp panel and someone has changed the woofer wires to connect straight to the binding posts, to by pass the amp altogether. I reconnected the wires to the amp and then noticed there were no wires going to volumne control on the side. Took off the volume control and it appears to be busted, I think whoever hot wired the woofer to the binding posts, just ripped out the volume wires. QuestionS: What type of replacement volumne control do I need to buy and where do the volume control wires connect on the amp panel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gslettum Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Hello I have a klipsch rw10d with no sound or light om the display. I have changed the db6 diac and the mosfet. And now the Powerboard has 08.1 V output. I put the plateamp together. I have changed all the caps om outputboard and inputboard. Still no light om the displayet or signal on the scoope from the outputboard. Any idea off what else can be wrong? Bashboard maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudaindc Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I have two (2) RW10-D plate amps that are driving me nuts... without the schematics, I am basically stuck. For both amps, all caps have been replaced with high-quality ones and not a trace of the yellow glue. The first one works fine (i.e., responds to all commands and I get sound) but just the display does not light up. Already changed the display, cable, etc., but nothing seems to solve the issue. Measuring the voltages in the flat cable pins I found that these do not match what I measured on other similar amps... it seems that logic/polarity is reversed for most pins. The second one also works fine but I need to push the volume all the way up - it seems that the gain structure is wrong (e.g., one op-amp may not be working as it should). I thought it could be the digital volume chip but that is not easy to solder (at least for me) and I want to explore other possible causes for the issue. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gslettum Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Found at last the fault. 7805 V regulator in pre board was putting out only 1,5 V. New regulator and the display come alive and the rest followed😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance! Check the 7805 regulator, U13. I had all the correct voltages. Still no display, just flashes when i turned the sub off.

Bullitt302 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 I’m assuming this is my issue. Haven’t used this in 3/4 years. Just been in my garage collecting dust. Hate seeing this thing not being used. Any help or ideas would be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just been in my garage collecting dust. Hate seeing this thing not being used. Any help or ideas would be awesome. The Brown glue most come off all over the amp. You have a pwr board next to two main capacitators? This can also be faulty, and mayby two mosfet transistores. Located next to the main transformer. On the pwr board you have a Black og blue db6 diac. This has been broken on a few amp's that i have worked on, an the mosfet on the primary side. This pcb board can be tricky to work on if you don't have a good soldersucker. Best to use vacuumtype. The eylets breaks easy and it's two layer board.

Pierre Charbonnet Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 On 11/29/2019 at 1:17 PM, ngen33r said: Hello All I have been repairing Klipsch subwoofer amps for about 15 years as a hobby. I have decided to start blogging my repairs and eventually do videos of each one. This thread is intended to be a blog and a resource for information. I will try to answer repair questions as best I can. Comments and tips are also welcome, If you do not have the experience or the tools, PLEASE do not attempt any of these repairs. You will only end up damaging the board and it will end up costing more for a tech to repair the damage. If you do not have a high quality vacuum desoldering station (Hakko or Weller) and a current limited mains supply, you should not be working on these amps. These subwoofers do not have any user serviceable parts inside. If you open up the sub or attempt any repair you see in this thread, you are doing so at your own risk!!! Where can I purchase a board and just swap out the bad one with a working one? RW 10d 120v S/N:RW0DBS+07221566 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick123 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 ngen33r. If I ship mine to you can you fix mine for me?? I don't have any of the stuff needed or the time and mine won't power on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt benivegna Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Hello, I have a klipsch rw 10d, it keeps shorting when powering up; I pulled the panel out and see where the short seems to be. Do you still do repairs? Any thoughts? thank you for your time!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
