jconsolmagno Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Good afternoon, One of my crossovers blew in my Cornwall III. I've tried Google but to no success. Can anyone help point me in the direction of getting a replacement part? Thank you so much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jconsolmagno Posted September 30, 2023 Author Share Posted September 30, 2023 I have. Waiting on a response. Concerned the model is discontinued and they might not have it. Do you think they will? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think they will? Cannot say but weekend maybe not reply. Have you verified it is in fact the crossover? Any troubleshooting? If not hear back from Klipsch soon, would try again. Meanwhile, let us know more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jconsolmagno Posted September 30, 2023 Author Share Posted September 30, 2023 (edited) Oh okay, great, yes I'm in the USA. The mid range stopped producing sound. I unhooked ot, took it over to the other channel, plugged it in and it worked, so my conclusion is the crossover failed, not the mid range. Should I try anything else? Set was bought in 2018, but B stock, so think I'm out of the warranty period. Thanks for everyone's help.

PrestonTom Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Probably not the crossover, rather a bad connection or failed solder joint. Swapping the midrange was a good trouble shooting technique and eliminated something expensive. BTW, crossovers are not failure prone (usually), but a bad connection can be. I bet with a voltmeter and a soldering pencil, you could have this fixed in 10 minutes and at no cost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jconsolmagno Posted October 1, 2023 Author Share Posted October 1, 2023 Thanks 001, I'm going to tear em apart. While I'm back there I'll do the soldering and voltmeter test. Is there any help I can find on here to guide me on that front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Make sure you write down what each connection is, i.e., tweeter wire, mids, etc., and the polarity. Pictures can be a great help in this regard. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I had this happen to a midrange before. Disconnected the wires to the driver cleaned them up and it worked. They were tight and no signs of a problem but just didn't make contact somehow, looked fine but no contact, how I don't know as tight as they were.

Thanks - gave that a shot, but did not improve the situation, mid range still dead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted October 2, 2023 Moderators Share Posted October 2, 2023 Well it was worth a shot, hope you find the answer. I have not had any experience with crossovers failing, even had some old AA models leaking oil from the caps and they still played. Good luck and hope it is simple.
