Also, good news, I will be offering already wired plugs that can be simply spliced into the klipsch calbes, all you will have to do is match the colored wires and know how to use a little electrical tape.  It doesn't get much easier than that, and alot less risky than the "radioshack" fix.

 This seems a better solution since I don't have extra speaker and can't survive even one day without speaker. How much is it?

thanks 

This option is not yet available since i have alot of work to finish first. but when availalbe which will be very soon the cost will be $12 with shipping. I am still doing the replacement plugs on these control pods though if you would like to send it in to me, my cost right now for Klipsch Forum Members is $16.50,. and that does cover return shipping with priorty mail

man I followed that exactly and they still wont work, its been 4 days now with no klipsch speakers and im going crazy... any ideas? 

I just used this fix for a system I had and barely used before it broke.  Works very well!  Now I just need to make longer speaker cables and I'll wall mount them eventually for use with my jukebox.

I got your solution right here, ask for a 10% discount and you should get it.

Thanks but I'm already working on them as I type this. 

Maybe this will  help as well.

I'm seeing this as a NO BRAINER here. Why doesn't Klipsch do an upgrade on an obvious week spot on a great sounding system. It's an area that needs a fix from the manufacturer.

I do NOT move my speakers around and I've had 2 bad ones. They weren't shoved against the wall, removed and installed numerous times, they just either broke or quit working. I fixed them a couple of times but this connection needs a "Klipsch Fix". It's giving Klipsch a bad reputation in quality control.

I completely agree and pretty much stated the same thing in the "Help!!! ProMedia 2.1 Right Channel Does Not Work" thread.  I love my two sets of ProMedia 2.1 speakers, but when Klipsch won't even admit that this issue is in the realm of a prevailing, recurrent, or known problem, it reflects poorly on the company and its customer support stance.

Not having a Radio Shack in my area, I ordered this PS2 extention:

 The color coding on the wires is exactly the same as the Klipsch original.  The pinout is exactly the same.  If you order this cable, you can just match the wires by color.  Just wired mine up and it works perfectly! 

 Thanks to all

 HI Would a mouse wire (it has the same coloured coded 6 wire configuation) be the same as the RS Wire?

thx

I bought a new control pod because I had loud popping anytime the DIN plug would move even a little bit. I replaced the pod and I still have the problem and its seems to be the preamp input (female DIN) connector on the sub?  Any ideas how to fix this?  I opened the subwoofer looked inside and it looks like the whole assembly is soldered & glued to the metal plate.  Looks like a lot of work.  Not sure if it's worth it.

 Any thought?

Thanks

As good as the sound is I've thought about using a new male and female off something else and eleminating the faulty connection. I'd probably bypass the existing mounted female and using a din combo off something else. It seems like the logical fix to cure this obvious weakness.

It would seem to be the easiest path to less work. I just haven't had the time or inclination to dig into this yet though. It's another project for my boredom down time.

When I get around to a "brainstorm" and simple fix I'll post it.

Harry

Well, if you know anyone that is good at soldering I have the replacement female end that you need to fix this system which is probably the best solution, otherwise you can also do thing like get rid of the mini din all together and solder a panel mount style standard size din plug in it's place, which I can also help you with for parts, but to send the system out to have this stuff done would not be worth it once you calculate all the shipping in.
