I currently own a Klipsch promedia 2.1 computor speaker system. However, the fuse blew and i can not find the specific fuse i need anywhere. The web site says that i just need a standard 2A 250V slow blo fuse, but the fuse that that orignally blew has a thicker filament then these. I even tried them and everyone one a tried has blown. This is frustrating me and i have no clue where to go to in order to find this fuse.

If a fuse blows in a Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 (2 amp slow blow), v.2-400 or 4.1 (5 amp slow blow), or 5.1 (5 amp slow blow 5x20 mm), there is a problem beyond the fuse. Replacing the fuse will not solve the problem, and putting in a heavier fuse is dangerous, and will cause further damage, if not a fire. In the 2.1 or 4.1, a blown fuse could be from a damaged bridge rectifier (easiest place to start, anyway). In the 5.1, a blown fuse could be a blown MOV (sacrificed due to a power spike), blown bridge rectifier, or shorted daughterboard and nearby IRF740 MOSFET(s).

Have you used 2A SLOW BLOW fuse? This type of fuses usually are ceramic type and are very different with the glass type ones. The glass type fuses are (more or less) fast blow. Although the best solution is to find SLOW BLOW fuses like this, in case it's very difficult you can use 3A fast blow fuse also.

In case of a problem or clarification, don't hesitate to post me a reply before rejecting my answer.
If you are satisfied, rate my solution with the "thumbs" or (even better) add a testimonial.

Thanks and regards

I have a klipsch promedia ultra 5.1 speaker system. On the back of the subwoofer it has three 3.5mm inputs for front L/R, rear L/R, and center/sub. What do the other ends of the 3.5mm cables plug into

Those three analog inputs are designed for a 5.1 or higher computer sound card (front, rear, and sub/center) with analog outputs. Onboard sound cards are mostly poor quality, so the Klipsch will not sound as good as if you have a better internal or external sound card (such as Creative's Sound Blaster, e.g., SB1). If you only have a digital surround sound source, such as a TV, Xbox, satellite or cable receiver, then you need a digital to analog decoder. Klipsch made a nice decoder, the DD-5.1. It converts optical and other digital signals to the analog signals your Klipsch ProMedia uses.

Lost sound in left channel?

I presume you are playing a stereo cd. Plug some other device, like headphones in to see if the computer is putting out stereo. Use the same plug as the speaker system is plugged into.
I presume you have swapped the speakers to test them.
If the speakers work, and the headphones work, it's the amp.

Everytime i plug in my speakers and turn the power on the fuse imediately blows...ive changed the fuse and the two fuses on the inside of the sud dont look blown what should i do...these are the best...

Hi,
Yes I have had these for many years. Work great. However there is a resistor that has been known to fry. Due to the connector plug (which is a flaky round pin connection.) arcing and once that happens it. You get current overloads, hence fuse blows.
Unfortunately parts are scarce and not label easily to get replacements. So I just bought new

Klipsch sub 10 keeps blowing fuses

More than likely the power supply switching transistors have fried. Also check the large caps in the primary side of the power supply. If you don't know what your are doing do not attempt to fix the power supply.. very dangerous voltages involved !!! Send it to Klipsch for repair or purchase a Bash replacement panel http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=300-750

How to hook up speakers to emachine t3638? i have the klipsch 5.1 set

The EMachines T3638 comes with High Definition Audio support and you should be able to connect a 6 speaker system (1 subwoofer and 5 speakers).

I believe they are color coded as well. I believe the speaker set you are referring to is the Klipsch ProMedia Ultra 5.1. Is that correct?

Below is the a link to the connection instruction manual. It is a pdf document that you can print out. The instructions for installing the Speaker set is on pages 3 & 4 under Signal Connection and Speak Connection.

http://www.klipsch.com/media/products/owners-manuals/ULTRA51MANUAL_ENGLISH.pdf

It should be pretty straight forward, but send me a note if you have any questions about the process.

Klipsch Speakers 4.1 died suddenly

Humm. Plug some earphones or another set of speakers into the computer and see if you get sound. That will at least point you in the right direction. And not to insult your intelligence but make sure the speakers are plugged into the green port.
