Then today my RP-8000F pair from the other deal arrived. Was getting excited connecting everything up and getting it settled in the right place. First test run and the light on the front of the unit powered up but zero sound from it. I spent an hour going over the connections. When trying the LFE from my receiver I would only get the sides making audio. Same with the test tones. Then I took the known good rca cable from the mixer/controller and put them directly in to the sub and nothing. Out of ideas I then tried to call Klipsch but closed for the holidays.
So I opened a ticket on their support site, sad that I was probably looking at an RMA and a lot of hassle. I opened the ticket and after I did so it directed me to some FAQ articles on a variety of things. One of them was how to troubleshoot the amp. https://support.klipsch
I did the buzz test in the article and didn't get anything from the sub. I didn't think I really wanted to open it up since it was brand new, but I figured that the next section that explained the way to check for a loose wire pretty much gave me permission to open it up. (Be careful to unplug the LED connector before you pull it too far away, you only have a few inches slack).
Fun surprise,... the positive cable was broken off from the terminal as shown in the pic (the terminal is in front of the right big black capacitor and the red wire is in the background). One trip down the road to get a crimp tool from the hardware store later and it is good as new, but a bit frustrated. Just wanted to share unless someone else got one like it.
This thing really shakes the house in the best possible way, so far it's really great.

If you have a smaller room, that is a good deal.

I'm looking at setting up my own home theater in a 16x30 room with a 160" screen and a 4K projector and while the screen and projector aren't too difficult to choose, the whole audio setup is exceptionally complicated. Especially with a large room where we're using half for a chilling area/theater and the other for like ping pong and a bar.
5.1.2, 7.1.4, 9.2.4, etc. It's all getting to be a lot I'm about to just do a 5.1.2 with some upfiring floors and a big woofer, especially since I'm probably just going to run conduit on a wall so I don't kill myself running wiring, lol
