Hola all...

Got myself some Klipsch ProMedia 5.1 THX speakers and a while back they went pop. :(

I know fuck all about electronics but I opened up the subwoofer and found a glass fuse that was burned out.

Fuse was labelled 2,5A and the part of the circuit board it was attached to is labelled T 2,5A H.

I went out and bought some glass 2,5A fuses and replaced it but unfortunately when I turn the speakers on the fuse blows. (It actually shatters the glass!).

I'm loathe to spend a load on speakers again when it seems really fixable - so do any of you electronically-gifted types have an idea what it could be and what I should do? Are there loads of different types of 2,5A fuses or something really simply stupid like that - or is this something a professional should take a look at?

Ta in advance.... :)

if the fuse blows repeatedly it means a compnent further down the current route has gone - itl be one of the driving transisters. If you were an electronics guy you might be able to fix it, but it might not be any one particular part. Could be a cascade of blown components occured and now your sub is pretty much blown.

What I *know* will not work is putting foil accross the fuse gap, dont even think about it. Seriously. If it's just the sub then get a new sub?

Let this be a lesson to all you fools who buy all-in-one systems. If the sub blows yer boned cos it's not just your sub but your amp too.

Advice: take it to a mate who knows his shit and see if its just one component blown. If its megafucked then just bite the bullet and replace wha t needs replacing. Under warrantee?
