    Have an old Klipsch 4.1 speaker system? Did it die? I bet you can fix it!

    My P/M4.1 have been crackling for a couple years now. Been considering tearing the pod down and looking at the pot and maybe replacing it. Just never seem to find the time. Maybe tonight with some deoxit

    Have an old Klipsch 4.1 speaker system? Did it die? I bet you can fix it!

    update: After performing three of the fixes here (r12, r26, r27) my Promedia 4.1's are up and running again. I wasn't getting rear speakers but that turned out to be just my config in my laptop. I hooked the speakers to a desktop with a good sound card and was able to config the speakers...

    My guess is a loose connection from when I first took it apart. After I broke it down the second time to get to the r27, I may have not hooked everything back the proper way. The red power wire that goes to the amp board slipped off its post very easily...almost with no resistance. That most...

    I think I"m good. Last night I broke down the amp to get to the r27 to replace it and took apart the pod again to clean it. When I got it all assembled again, I had life...no static or hum. I think my rear speaker issue is my computer. I have a Dell Precision M4600 laptop. Its a killer...

    FWIW, I do have power going to the pod. The light is red when off and green when on.

    Have an old Klipsch 4.1 speaker system? Did it die? I bet you can fix it!

    After a visual inspection of the components and before I cleaned the pod, I reassembled it and fired it up. I now have nothing coming out of any speaker except static when before I at least had the front speakers and the sub working. Would this indicate that there is a loose connection...

    Have an old Klipsch 4.1 speaker system? Did it die? I bet you can fix it!

    Hello, OK, I opened up the pod and visually inspected the components. All of them seemed to be alright as I have noticed somebody had an issue with one of the 8 prong components. However, when I flipped over the board, there where 4 orange components on the back and one of them had solder that...

    Yes, once I got the sub back up I attached all the satellites to the FR and FL ports and all of them work. This is essentially what I was doing when the Rears first went out years ago. That is...until I lost the sub. I hooked everything up again this evening with the amp board out of the sub...

    Hi, I have a set of 4.1 that I've owned for nearly 15 years or there about....I got them when they first came out. About 5 years ago I lost the rear speakers. For a temp fix I plugged my rears into the front and turned down the surround. Eventually the sub went and am now just getting around...
