Klipsch subwoofer RPW-10 infamous glue problem?
Hello. I purchased an RPW-10 at an estate sale. I wasn't able to test prior to bringing it home. I plugged it in and ....nothing. I checked the fuse and it was blown. I opened the back panel of the amplifier plate and this is what I see.
I've read about the conductive glue causing problems in these Klipsch amps. (Is this glue or a leaked cap?)
I've built a guitar tube amp and I've soldered plenty of guitar pedal boards. I almost feel like I could repair this but is it even worth trying to desolder the vertical daughter board and cleaning it up, replacing whatever is burnt?
Am I better off buying a new sub amp plate off Dayton audio/Amazon? Could I just run one of those class D monoamp boards into the sub?
Btw, I contacted the estate sale and they refunded me and said I could keep the sub. So if I break it, it's no big deal.
