masterngc Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 An idiot family member decided to knock over one of my speakers and not tell me, needless to say, the HF driver broke loose and took out part of the transformer on the crossover on the way down my question is this: on the transformer is the coil plain copper wire, or is it copper wire with really thin insulation on it, because the wire is nicked pretty good, and is the function of the plastic part at the bottom of it just there to hold the wires together in a coil? The sooner someone helps me out, the better... i'm literally sitting here soldering iron in hand [Y] Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klipsch Employees Trey Cannon Posted May 7, 2007 Klipsch Employees Share Posted May 7, 2007 is this a computer speaker or a custom install speaker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael hurd Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 My advice? Call up Micron in Missisauga and get a replacement satelite speaker from them, they list at $ 25.00 CDN. ( http://www.microncanada.ca/Klipsch%20Parts1.htm ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipsch Employees Trey Cannon Posted May 7, 2007 Klipsch Employees Share Posted May 7, 2007 as long as the inductor with the nicks in it, does not have the windings touching, you will be fine leaving it alone. Well put it back, but no need to "paint" it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterngc Posted May 7, 2007 Author Share Posted May 7, 2007 well i patched it up and its good to go... Sounds the same as the others even at high volume so im not to worried, but i switched it with one of the rear speakers so it would get less of a workout. You know, these sat's sound pretty good with a separate amp and a little bit of parametric eq... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipsch Employees Trey Cannon Posted May 8, 2007 Klipsch Employees Share Posted May 8, 2007 true, they are not bad for a computer speaker. They are ment to receive only 165Hz and up. there is eq in the amp that they should be used with. Therefore, to get them even close to what they should be, you will need that EQ. If you have the sub with them, I suggest you use the sub to drive the sats, and send the pre out from your receiver to the sub's input. This way you get what the sats want. Just remember to set the output on your receiver to LARGE, that way the sub can do its job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
