PurdueBoilers Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Have (2) R115-SW's and get shocked if I touch the back plate bolts outlined in the pics. Not a static discharge, it's constant. Both units do the same thing. Tried power cords that work fine on other household devices, no change. Unplugged RCA, no change. Removed power cord, can see slow decrease on voltmeter (caps discharging?). RCA in, power cord in, unplugged power to Onkyo RZ810 and Emotiva XPA2, steady voltage with no slow decrease. What are the protruding bolts used for? A couple mm gap exists between the bolt head and the plate…like an accessory might hang from them? Thanks in advance for any help. Long time fan of Klipsch, finally purchased items, wish I would have done it 20 years ago. Go Purdue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Not certain about those two points and voltage shown. Do both units play alright or...thanks and welcome. @ngen33r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngen33r Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Those bolts are for the WA accessory and they are ONLY screwed into the plate. Either a decoupling capacitor shorted, you have a bad wired outlet, or there is a conductive path to the chassis inside the amp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurdueBoilers Posted July 1, 2020 Author Share Posted July 1, 2020 Turned out to be the Onkyo amp sending current to everything, at least anything metal. Amp, DVD player, Emotiva XPA, etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurdueBoilers Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 @billybob Most the way thru a Lascala build, hope to post a few pics of the process soon. Past the dog house build and dry assembled right now. Looks odd to have the woofer sitting so close to the back slot board, looks like cone travel or foam / crease area would smack the board. But I guess there's only a couple mm of travel so it's fine? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go aftermarket with a driver that has more excursion or a thinner gasket then you'd need a spacer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
