Kmcadillac44 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) Hi everyone, I’ve had my theater set up with RF-7’s for LF and RF since 2006 and have enjoyed them immensely and had no issues until now. I just discovered the RF speaker only putting out slight sound through the tweeter, and when I do a level check through the pre-amp the speaker clearly isn’t functioning properly. I’m looking for any suggestions for troubleshooting and repair - thanks in advance!

CECAA850 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Welcome to the forum. Check the jumpers that are at the terminal cup. Be sure everything is tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capo72 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Switch the right and left speaker wires at your receiver. See if the problem stays with the speaker or switches sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmcadillac44 Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 Does anyone have a schematic or internal drawing of the RF-7? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Could be just a loose connection inside. Lay it on its back and pull the tweeter and top woofer out and check to be sure that all the spade connectors are still attached to the drivers.

babadono Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 https://community.klipsch.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=59234 It were deep but i think this is the schematic of RF-7 crossover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcadillac44 Posted January 15, 2020 Author Share Posted January 15, 2020 Thanks everyone - success!! I took the plate out on the back of the speaker and found two issues, not sure which was the Red X - the connector on the red attachment had vibrated almost off, and the nut securing the black post had backed off and was loose. Corrected both and back in business! However as things go during the root cause discovered my right surround doesn't work - another project for the week! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
