Iteachstem Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Hello all, I'm parting out my Klipsch RT-10D sub that suffered the typical amplifier failure! If anyone is interested, shoot me a message. The 3 grills are in excellent shape. The active 10" driver is in excellent condition. The 2 passive radiators are in excellent condition, however, one has a small discoloration spot. It came that way when it was new! The cabinet is in good condition, with several small indentations on the top of one of the corners. The amp doesn't turn on anymore. I don't want to go though the hassle of getting it repaired. I will demo the active driver to verify that it works perfectly. Local pick up only if you want the entire sub. I would be willing to ship the grills, drivers or the amplifier section. Located 60511 far western burbs of Chicago right off I-88. There's not a lot of these for sale for reference on pricing. The active driver alone is on eBay for over $200 w shipping, so I'm just going to go with $300 takes the entire sub and if you want specific parts, shoot me a message.

jjptkd Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Damn what a shame, those are nice subs when working properly. I thought the 10 was pretty equivalent to the RSW-12 I compared it to at the time. If you were local to me I'd probably grab this from you, good luck with your sale! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iteachstem Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 19 hours ago, jjptkd said: those are nice subs when working properly Yes, I agree. For a relatively compact sub, it punched way above it's size in sound quality and output. I wish they would either source better imported amps or have them built by a decent manufacturer in the US. I would gladly pay an extra $100 for a sub that will last 30 years.... like the 4 Velodyne subs I used in my home theater. However, I understand that to stay competitive with other comparable subwoofers, the bean counters have to shave off every penny. If no one shows any interest, I might just convert it into a passive sub. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iteachstem Posted February 5 Author Share Posted February 5 I started converting to a passive. So, the amplifier unit is for sale. $20 plus shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iteachstem Posted February 10 Author Share Posted February 10 Any last minute takers? Otherwise it is going in the garbage...to join most of the other Klipsch amps over the years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iteachstem Posted February 12 Author Share Posted February 12 I decided to use the original plates (Rather than the nice birch plywood ones I made) to fill the holes in the cabinet. So, I just removed most of the electronics. This is what's remaining... The controller is in perfect condition, the horizontal board is in perfect condition, but the vertical board lost it's corners as it was being feisty during removal... and I didn't really care at this point. So if anyone wants the electronics and/or the filler plates, send me a message. (PS that's about $5000 worth of plywood at today's prices! hahaha!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Cool, what will you power with? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iteachstem Posted February 12 Author Share Posted February 12 Crown k1. I did a test run yesterday and it worked out well. I most likely will sell this in the future, as it doesn't outperform my home built subs. I have a "one in one out" policy now to keep my stereo addiction at bay! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can put a "Want to Buy" listing in garage sale for the same thing Sub _______ for parts and see what responses you get.

Moderators Travis In Austin Posted March 1 Moderators Share Posted March 1 @Iteachstem Congratulations on the sale. Thanks for marking it “sold”. Do you mind if I lock it so that a year from now someone won’t be a first time poster asking “is this still for sale?” Either way is fine.

Maximus89 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I downsized to bookshelf speakers and i was dreaming about finding a pair of these rt-10's or rt-12s, but do they really have a high amp failure rate? No repairs available? I bought a 1970 Janis W-1 Subwoofer and the separate Interphase 1 amplifier/crossover just to try at a cheap price. I was shocked to find it sounds very nice and musical. Slot loaded. Blends way better than what i had before. I sometimes can't tell if it's on until i bypass on the amp/crossover and i realize what it's doing. Huge and heavy with a 15'' driver that's supposedly cheap. Looks like a nice piece of furniture. No issues other than some wear and tear. Not going to blow you away for HT, though. Amazing how so many modern subs with built in amps fail so quickly. I guess i'll just stick with this Janis sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iteachstem Posted March 1 Author Share Posted March 1 On 2/26/2023 at 9:31 PM, JJR3434 said: I will take the grills too I turned the sub into a passive sub, driven by an external amp. So, at the moment, I am not selling the grills. However, if I end up parting the sub out in the future, I'll post them on the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
