That is sometimes called a "radiator". It's a speaker cone that moves opposite the main woofer and produces sound waves out of sync with the powered woofer. Very sophisticated piece of audio engineering intended to enhance bass response.

SOURCE: amp works but no sound from sub

Some older Pioneer radios require you to connect the Subwoofer RCA to the rear output on the back of the radio and then you have to turn on the subwoofer in the menu on the radio. What model Pioneer radio is it? Also, make sure that the RCA plugged into the amp is on the input side, not the output side.

SOURCE: Blown crossover in a Peavey

Yes it can be repaired. Your best bet is to locate an authorized Peavey service center and order the crossover from there. Most will sell the replacement crossover directly. The cost of the individual parts will not be significantly less than the entire module. Are you sure that it is the crossover that is smoked? It is unusual for the crossovers to go bad. What is the symtom of the speaker failure?

SOURCE: magnet fell off speaker

Thats crazy well you could put it back on but how would you know that the magnet is perfectly centered so that the voice coil doesnt rub against it? How could you make it bond with the frame so that it doesnt come off again? HMMMMMM-cant take it back to the shop where you got it and exchange it? If it were me and i had no other choice-Id get some "liquid metal" and center it as well as i could and just epoxy that ****** right back to the frame unless i knew somebody who could tack weld it -Im not that lucky though so yup try some epoxy or liquid metal or some sort of super strong adhesive

SOURCE: I am trying to connect my infinity kappa series 52

THe amplifier connects to the crossover.. If you are using an amplifier there is no reason to connect the radio/deck to the crossover.

SOURCE: fried electronics in KLH ASW10-120B subwoofer

It is a 4 ohm nominal impedance woofer. If you put a new woofer in, it will last maybe half an hour and then fry/melt. The problem is the amp, not the woofer. Throw the amp out and use the box as a passive sub. Get a 100 hz sub crossover.

Klh av5001 tower 350watt speaker at bottom has no magnet nor any connections for it.looks like a fake speaker why

This is what is called a 'passive radiator'. It helps the bass response of the system. It is an adaptation of a bass reflex speaker enclosure. Try this link at wiki: Passive radiator speaker

I have a pair of KLH AV5001 speakers and I have them hooked up, there is sound but it's distorted and there's zero base, an instruction manual or any advice would be great, thank you.

Without knowing what they're hooked up too.. SOUNDS like your uder powering them, OR over powering them. Look at the back of the speakers the wattage is what your looking for, look at your amp, example: 1000w speaker running on 50w amp = not good.

I have a KLH subwoofer which is connected to my reciever and speakers with speaker wire. It is not connected to an outlet. It has recently started making a buzzing/rattling type sound. Do I need to take...

Yes, probably, if you aren't capable of repair yourself. However, IMHO, a replacement will probably cost less in the long run. I have a KLH passive subwoofer myself. I wouldn't pay for any repair if it failed. Replacements are far too inexpensive.

I'm about to hook up my KLH to an Onkyo Receiver with Audyssey sound features. 2 questions: it asks me to set my sub to 75 DB. Since my volume dial goes 0-10, which number maps to 75 DB? Also, what...

I think it wants you to raise the volume high enough on the sub so IT can hear at least 75dB. It can always adjust the sub downward if necessary. Max it out at the sub and let Audyssey deal with the adjustment.

Your crossover frequency selection would be a piont below which you want the sub to activate. It depends on the bass capabilities of your other speakers. You want some overlap so there's no droop in the crossover region where your main speakers roll off.

I have a KLH ASW10-125C Subwoofer and a Harman Kardon AVR 3600 receiver. What should the setting be for volume, phase and crossover frequency?

Home Theater

volume - personal taste - usually just high enough that you notice the bass - try turning down until you don't notice it then turn up one notch in the switch

phase - depends on distance from other speakers - try initially setting to 0 degrees

cross-over frequency - depends on your other speakers - try setting at 60-100Hz

No sound and smells like burning

There are a lot of folks who've had power supply issues with this sub. Typically, the large resistors fail, which takes out the capacitors.

If you know how to read schematics and replace parts, then these might be helpful to you:

Here are the two pages of schematics from KLH. I wrote to their techdepartment and explicitly asked for permission to share them here.

Here's the lower board, which has the power supply:

Here's the upper board:

KLH Rave-12 speakers - some drivers are not working

If you place an ohm meter across the capacitors, the ohms should slowly drop as the capacitor charges. You can check continuity of the coils with continuity function of the multi tester.
Madisound.com is a good source for quality components.

Tweeters & Midrange Speakers

If you have a Ohm Meter, check the resistance to the speakers. If it is very high, the speakers are burned, (or the crossover is (just capacitors, and resisters...cheap)). If it is close to 4 ohms check the wiring and connectors..to and at the speakers, most likly the receiver/amp is not blown.
