kewadinbob Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Do you have any tips - or know of some sort of repair kit - for repairing a KLF-30's rattling cabinet? The significant rattle is about 5 inches from the back panel's top on the right-hand seam. I can place a finger (with pressure) on the exact spot of the outside of the cabinet (versus the back panel) and it stops completely. Without the pressure the cabinet's rattle is absolutely HUGE! HELP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frzninvt Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 That is a common problem in the KLF series, the glue used to seal the panels breaks down and the panels leak and make alot of racket. You need to carefully remove them and reglue all the panels into place with liquid nails or similar tough glue to fix the problem. Do a search on the forum you will find information regarding this issue. Someone will chime in and provide you direction, however you should have posted it only in one place since now you are going to have responses scattered over 4 catagories. Welcome to the forum!

Steve Phillips Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 I posted this in "general" as well OK, To set this story straight. It was not a bad batch of glue. The vendor Klipsch was using at that time was using a non porous finish on the inside. When discovered, they were still under contract and when they supplied Klipsch with new veneered MDF, they would slip in a few sheets of "bad" The industrial hot glue used would not adhere properly to the inside of the cabinet. If dropped on an edge it may and sometimes did, pop an area loose.....leak. Don't try to knock the back or front off!!! You may break the front or back into pieces. Best to go inside and rough the surface where there is a corner with 80 grit sandpaper. Remove the drivers and move the insulation out of the way. Use Liquid Nails to seal the surfaces To help make it stronger use a small wood block pushed into the glue in the corner. "a glue block" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wstrickland1 Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 I pre-drilled some pilot holes and carefully screded the HELL out the backs of mine. I NEVER plan to sell them. This may sound like a hack job, but it works great and I didn't have to remove anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
