klipsch 2.1 thx trouble

[madman300]

I have had this system for the past 4 years, and I am a big fan of its big sound. However since around year two the cord that plugs into the sub from the speakers has not gotten a very good connection. The result is a sub that contantly dies on me, until i wiggle the wire around. Is this a common problem? Anyone else experienced it? I was thinking about taking the system apart for repair, but the capictors in the amp kind of make me nervous.
Thoughts, suggestions?

My sister's sub-unit died... It was within the warranty and Klipsch replaced it no charge,

My right channel has been junk for about 1 1/2 years. Sometimes, it works fine. Usually, it works, but the volume is about 75% of the other channel, and sometimes it doesn't work at all. No problems with the sub itself.

same thing happened to mine, to the extent where the cord broke, and would no longer make a connection, it broke right at the end where it plugs into the sub

I sold the broken set on ebay for 100$ and purchased the promedia 4.1s from ebay for 150$, the 4.1s use a buch much beefier connector, it also sits lower on the dub itself which is a + to me cause the 2.1s connection was right where the cross beam on my desk was, im guessing pressure for that is what killed it

anyway call klipsch they have great costomer service

my sub died, it was out of warrantee by 3 months and klipsch still paid shipping both ways and got me a new one. No problems so far... - just keep the sub well ventilated

thanks for the replies.

it is not about the sub being dead. It is about the weak connection. The sub works and so do all the speakers. It is just every now and then the system craps out and you have to wiggle the cord around.
