Guest pkaynyc Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 the woofer is dead. when i remove the front panel, however, and place my thumb and forefinger in a certain position on opposite sides of the cone (on the indentation near the outer edge) and press gently the sound comes through. the only thing i can surmise is that this somehow moves the square metal box at the rear of the cone and reestablishes some loose connection.what does it mean to "fuse" my speakers? thanks and sorry for the amateurish questions. pk>We don't usually squeeze anything in a speaker, but if you can>re-describe step by step, I am sure we can be of some help to>you.>>My guess at this moment, and I am guessing, is that when you>touch or push on the surround area you do get sound?

Andy Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 When all efforts have failed and you decide to pull life suport on this speaker, a replacement KLH 10" speaker is easily found....just make sure it's a 4 ohm version used for the model 20. You see them offered for $10.-$15. on ebay often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
