AMPLIFIER Klipsch 2.1 ProMedia Subwoofer $18 Ref Speaker Upgrade Amp Replacement

Description: This listing is for a replacement Promedia 2.1 THX computer speaker amplifier for a second generation Klipsch 2.1 system. Note the round mini-DIN jack for connecting a preamplifier pod. The buyer reuses his/her subwoofer enclosure by removing eight screws on the back of the enclosure and detaching the original plate amplifier. This amplifier works great, has a pair of upgraded components, and comes with a 90-day warranty. This unit is intended to replace a non-working amplifier. Not every problem with the popular ProMedia 2.1 system is due to an amplifier problem. Some systems break from damage to the control pod cable; often noticeable by the system working intermittently as the cable is flexed near its plug, or if you can see one of the pins in the plug is bent over. Others have a failing 6.5" speaker. You can remove the metal grill, and touch the foam surround. If it is brittle or sticky or even has holes and tears in it, you know it is time to replace it. I have new replacement 6.5" 6 ohm subwoofer speakers. Avoid a mismatched 8 ohm or 4 ohm generic replacement. 4 ohm replacements can damage the amplifier. 8 ohm replacements reduce performance by 25%. This listing is for the lighter version amplifier that was sold from 2012-2018. It uses a round mini-DIN plug for the control pod, and does not have a power switch on the panel, nor Bluetooth. This version uses an efficient switching power supply. This version draws only 10 watts at idle. The first generation and this second generation version is interchangeable--they use the same control pod, fit the same enclosure, and connect to the same satellite speakers. (A control pod, needed for operation, is not included here). The first generation version uses a heavier, more expensive transformer power supply. That version has a power switch. It draws 0 watts when turned off, but 18-20 watts when turned on (no volume), or 24 VA. Power factor is .75. Those first generation amplifier panels weigh nearly 8 pounds, and have sections which get hot and char over time. The upgrade: I upgraded two 1/4 watt components to 1 watt versions, mounted above the panel to stay cool. I've seen many of the original components burn up. The amplifier runs great and is backed with a 90-day warranty.Depending on your zip code, you may find a second available shipping option here is less expensive. This system includes: 1 Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 amplifier panel 90-day warranty. A $20 core return refund is available for a non-working panel (as long as no boards are snapped/broken). You may ship back either the old or newer version as a core. If you will be shipping back the heavier version, I recommend using a medium-size USPS priority mail flat rate box with multiple layers of cardboard for extra padding around the sides, bottom and top. The lighter version might ship at a lower cost if you do not use a flat-rate box. By shipping your old panel for a core refund, you can avoid electronics recycling fees and give the old panel another chance to be refurbished and put to use. Please write on the outside of the box "Core Return" and your eBay ID or first name. That will help me process your refund. If you prefer, you may use an included Fed Ex Ground return label billed to my account, and drop the box off at a Fed Ex Office.Klipsch's Information (2012 data for new versions):Amplifier: High-efficiency power supply and linear amplifiers designed for uncompressed full power soundSubwoofer Limiter: Protective limiter function protects the driver and amplifier from extremely high volume playback.
