Description

Klipsch ProMedia 4.1 v.2-400 Parts Upgrade Kit: Condition is New. The 400 watt Klipsch ProMedia 4.1 and earlier v.2-400 computer speaker system remains popular with owners for its clarity and power. After years of use, though, a number of components will have degraded from heat. This kit addresses the common components most likely to degrade (apart from the 6.5" speakers: note two paragraphs down). Nine components are for the amplifier panel and four are for the control pod. My source for the nylon standoffs (circuit board spacers) changed, so the replacement standoffs mount differently. (One is a push-through; the other side attaches with a plastic screw). Included with the kit are Kester solder, instructions and photos of the component location.
The new parts are upgraded quality or rating: 4 Panasonic FR capacitors and a solid (film) cap replace original Chinese capacitors. A new Zener diode is mounted above the board to stay cooler. Three 3-watt resistors replace lower wattage originals. Two new ICs with 8-pin sockets (for 4.1 version, but not needed for v.2-400 version) and new main and rear/surround volume control potentiometers are for the preamplifier volume control pod.
Rubber Speaker Surrounds:
This is a good time to remove the grills from the subwoofer's 6.5" speakers to check their condition. The foam surrounds degrade after 10-20 years. They become weak, and eventually crumble. I usually have new rubber surrounds in stock, and am adding two rubber surrounds as an option for either just the kit (do it yourself), or with me doing the installation of the kit (I refoam your speakers that you send me).  I will include a small bottle of rubberized speaker glue with purchase of the kit with rubber surrounds. I also have new Klipsch original 6.5" speakers in a separate listing, if interested. New speakers are about each.
Option of Installation of Kit & Refoaming Your Speakers
:  You would ship your amplifier panel and pod, plus the two original 6.5" speakers from your sub enclosure. I install the parts kit and refoam your two original speakers. Refoaming a speaker costs each, so this kit has a difference in price for also refoaming both speakers. (No other speaker brand matches the impedance of Klipsch's originals. Different impedance means either damage to amplifier (too low impedance) or loss of power (impedance too high).
Shipping & Installation Option
The kit alone ships next business day from the Midwest, but if the buyer prefers to have me install the kit, then installation is an option, and I will not ship the kit by itself. The buyer must mail his/her amplifier and control pod/preamplifier to me for installation. So the shipping time for this kit is noted as "20 business days" to allow for time to ship your panel and pod to me for installation of the kit and any other repair that is needed.
The panel and pod can ship snugly inside a USPS Medium Flat Rate Box (costs about .00. The buyer must pay for his/her own shipping of their equipment to me. My return shipping included with this purchase is for a panel and pod ONLY; not returning a heavy, complete subwoofer).
Packing
: I suggest cutting out a single or double-thickness cardboard spacer to line the bottom of the USPS box, with an opening cut out for the satellite speaker terminals and the power cord.
