michael hurd Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 You can try 1-800-klipsch, ask for the parts department. They no longer build the Sw-15, but may be able to repair the amplifer. It is worth a call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumpelstiltskin Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Another forum member, dmethe3, just had one repaired by Klipsch for $120 (flat rate). Good luck, Rick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhathawy Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I just had my SW-15 amplifier section rebuilt by Klipsch at their facility in Arkansas. I was charged a flat fee of $240.00 and it was a six week turnaround. Sub is now working again like when it was new over 10 years ago.

doudou Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 i had the same probleme on a promedia 2.1 sub. i retried with another fuse one day later, and the sub worked again. i don t know why. the set of promedia is still working fine now althoug it happen to me about 2 years ago. you can test, in the worst case you will blow one fuse more. but don t insist too much.

dmethe3 Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Hi guys, just to jump in, I did send my amplifier only to Klipsch for a flat rate repair of $120.00. I spoke with them yesterday and it is on the way back.About a 3-4 week turnaround. I also sent the passive radiator to Orange County Speaker in CA for a recone for $49.00. Just got that back with Klipsch center cone intact. Nice job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
