falcon20x Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I just bought this brand new RF-7, took it out of the box and this is what happened ( see pictures). It looks like the board came unglued, anyone has any ideas how to fix it? I'm still looking for his missing brother so if someone finds it, let me know [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay481985 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 looks like it was dropped flat meaning that there is no crunch but all the energy went right through and popped it. I would probably say titebond type 2 or 3 and some clamps with rubber inserts to not mar the wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMcGoo Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Well, the motor board came loose from the cabinet. Klipsch had a lot of trouble with this type of problem with the KLF series, but it was fixed with the RF series that followed. Call Klipsch service and ask for advice. They have helped other owners with similar problems. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadtonowhere08 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 falcon20x: I know this sounds like an odd request, but before you seal the speaker back up, would you mind taking a few shots of the interior of the cabinet and the back of the motorboard with the three drivers? Your first two shots are very good. I have always been curious as to what the interior of the RF-7s look like. I recently acquired a pair, and I have not had the space to open the boxes, place them, and listen to them. I am dying to though. Anyhoo, I really hope you find a solution. From the looks of it, perhaps a generous bead of good wood glue around the entire motorboard would do the trick. I am not sure if it would be wood to wood contact though.

Jay481985 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I still think using a titebond type wood glue should be fine, that and clamps with rubber pieces to prevent marring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
