    Klipsch Promedia 5.1's - Amp repair

    Appreciate all the info. I replaced the cables long ago with higher end cables I had. I used to work at an audio video shop many years ago. I too thought something was odd that the rear channel went out but when I switched audio cables, sound card and ever tried a completely different...

    Klipsch Promedia 5.1's - Amp repair

    Dumb question but can the Klipsch speakers be run on a normal AV receiver? I just threw out the subwoofer because my entire rear channel was gone and the sub was sitting in my closet for years.. If there is use for the 5 speakers, I'll keep them, but if not I guess those will go in the trash...

    I'm cleaning my basement and found this tower... untouched, never used or installed anything in it, still has hardware box inside. I completely forgot I owned it... Now looking at it, it's just too large for me to do anything with it. I have a NAS device so there is no need for me to load...

    Thank you for the information! This is very helpful and I have a couple of questions. I've never cloned a HD before, normally I just wipe and re-install. However, I have a laptop which has Mercedes Benz software on it which can not be re-activated. If the harddrive fails the laptop is...

    568A and 568B wiring question

    Picked it up from Home Depot for $455, expensive but it definitely has proved to be quite useful in this diagnosis. -Nigel

    568A and 568B wiring question

    Forgot to update. So everything is working great. Even terminated the outside line coming in so I can call Verizon and have them switch their ONT box to Ethernet rather than Coax since I don't want to use their router anymore. The one cable I thought was broke earlier isn't. I ended up...

    568A and 568B wiring question

    Sweet appreciate it! I'm in Virginia. So after crimping the connector and punch down to one of the rooms I get zero indicator lights... I'm pissed cause it's in the bedroom so running a new cable is out of the question unless I start ripping drywall up. I did use a tone tool on the one cat5...

    568A and 568B wiring question

    Everything I do is the 568B standard, never the 568A. So when I started terminating the ends naturally I started doing all B. I haven't use A in such a long time that when I first looked at how it was wired in my house I was like they did it wrong...lol Call it old habit I guess but I just...

    568A and 568B wiring question

    Wanted to ask before I either changed everything or keep it the same. I have multiple cat5e runs in my house. The ones I wired are the 568B standard. The ones that the builder did before I bought the house are 586A standard. My question silly as it is... Most patch panel cables are 568B...

    Ethernet cable short by about 2', best way to extend? (outdoors)

    I don't think water would be an issue of getting inside the box.since it would be covered. I could always seal the exterior of the distro box which I think would be best in this case, just as another layer of protection. Hell, looking at how they did the phone line the technician just twisted...

    Ethernet cable short by about 2', best way to extend? (outdoors)

    Yep, that was exactly what I was going to do. I already have the small 3' cable that I terminated on the ONT box on the left, I just wasn't sure if a coupler would be the best solution here. I thought about soldering the ends but I can't imagine that being good for the signal or it would...

    Ethernet cable short by about 2', best way to extend? (outdoors)

    We have FIOS and just recently returned our cable boxes so I want to eliminate their horrible router from the house. On the side of the house is the ONT box and a few feet over we have a main feed line that goes to the basement which I already have wired up to most rooms in the house via cat5e...

    Confused about wiring fans in series or parallel and how they draw power?

    I'm not undestanding this as far as wiring my fans up. I have 3 fans that I want to run off a solar panel that is putting out 5watts of power and is rated at 12v. The raw output of the solar panel is up to 21v and when I hook a load up to it, IE: A fan it significantly drops down in...

    Fan that can run off of a solar panel?

    Figured I'd ask. Are there any fans out there that are more than 12v input? I ask because the solar panel that I am looking at roughly puts out about 19-21volts.. .I'd rather not try and regulate it down and I would only need this fan in my shed so it doesn't matter as far as leds or...

    Klipsch Promedia 5.1's - Amp repair

    Welp got some new parts and replaced it... figured I didn't want to run into this again so I did a 92mm hole on the side that is known to get hot and fry... Fits perfectly on the side. Took about 30 mins to mod. Bass has NOT dimished much at all honestly. The thing is already more than...

    LIAN LI PC-V350 !!!

    Do you know the fan sizes for the front. I noticed that they have different width and want to make sure I grab the correct 120mm ones. I am looking at the NH-C12P SE, so you think go with that rather than what you currently have? -Nigel
