love_hertz Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Hello my dad owns a pair of Klipsch RP-5s. Question being that when playing a music source through it the sub crackles only at one sub, the other doesn't. Does this mean a "blown" sub. My dad was messing with gains on speaker and thinks he may have done it. For those who dont know what the RP-5s are they are basically a rf-5 bookshelf and a powered 12" sub in a single cabinet, pretty awesome for the space-challenged living room. I took the sub out of cabinet and looked at it, should there be anything that I should be looking or smelling for? Please help, thanks! By the way the sub is #K-1087-K12.

Scp53 Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 so ones sounds fine the other crackles? seams like you have a bad voice coil. you can test it by pressing evenly on the dustcap STRAIGHT down(dont go too far though). does it scrap or does it go in and out silently? it could possibly be the sub amp(these are powerd right?) but i highly doubt it. let us know scp53 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecibleLvr Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Take the "good" woofer and swap with the problem woofer to eliminate the amp as the culprit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love_hertz Posted April 27, 2005 Author Share Posted April 27, 2005 thanks for the input, I will swap out speakers and see if its the amp or speaker itself. Any know where or how much I can a new woofer for?? if indeed thats the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formica Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Klipsch (normally) prices their replacement parts reasonably to people in the US... so i would try them directly at 1-800-Klipsch and choose the parts dept. Let us know what it sounds like once you flip them... Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
