I have the klipsch sub-10 subwoofer, making noise after use

I have the klipsch sub-10 subwoofer, it worked great up until a day or so ago. the issue now is the subwoofer makes a squeak noise when ever there is bass. i didnt change any settings and have since even taken the subwoofer out of the encasing while on the the ''chirping'' or squeak is coming from the subwoofer itself. i have disconnected the sub and let it sit for a day and when i hooked it back up it wouldnt squeak right away but eventually after about a hour or so of use it would return. any advice? i am very clueless when it comes to this kind of situation. do i need to replace the sub? can i even replace the sub? can i fix it?

It sounds like the sub is rubbing in the voice coil.
put the speaker in upside down to what it was before.
sometimes that extra bit of downward pull is enough to offset the error.
There are speaker reconing experts out there but it is cheaper to replace the sub itself.
the sub can be replaced for sure.

I have the Klipsch Sub-10 Subwoofer, and it no longer plays music. Now it hums (vibrates constant) and corresponds (louder or softer) with volume control. Light is home but no one home situation. V

Does the subwoofer have the same hum when the input cables have been unplugged? Many input cables use very fine conductors, which often fail. A bad cable will often introduce a hum and prevent a signal from getting through. If the noise is still present without the input cable(s) connected, then repair options are limited. No schematics are available. There's a daughterboard that has been available, but its failure usually causes the system to die (short-circuit). The cost to repair the amplifier may be close to the cost to replace the entire sub.

I have a Klipsch Sub-10 It is NOT working. I am not sure what happened. It was just fine last week. It's powered up and everthing but not throwing any bass. It was also detected during the auto setup.

If you're saying the auto setup produced sound then the sub and its amp are fine.

So we need to examine the source electronics for actual playback settings. Give a hint of what that might be.

My klipsch subwoofer won't play on my pioneer receiver.

Hello,
You do not mention if this is a Pioneer VSX type receiver or if it is a Stereo receiver. Assuming the first, you need to enable the Sub-out output. The Owners manual will show you how. Then you should connect from the Sub-out using a good quality RCA type sub specific if possible cable to your Klipsch Sub. Play with all the levels until you are satisfied. It will take some time to set up properly.
Good luck.

Klipsch ksw subwoofer wont power on

The power supply switching transistors are likely fried. Dangerous high voltages involved. I would remove the plate and send it to Klipsch for repair.

Hooking up a Klipsch

Need to confirm that you have a subwoofer cable which is a coax cable. I have seen this sort of issue when using a standard RCA cable. If you need a cable you can order it at monoprice.com

Good luck..

Sunfire Subwoofer 110 Noise on input plugin

A few more questions-
Does the sub hum without anything plugged into it except for power? If it makes a real loud hum almost a squeal then I think the rca cable between the receiver and the sub is dead shorted and needs to be replaced. If it's more of a low level hum, then it's a ground hum caused by many things, ie........the receiver and the sub being on different power circuits in the house.......sometimes diconnecting the cable tv feed as it enters the room while the sub is connected and humming to see if it stops........the easy fix sometimes is using a 3 to 2 prong ac adapter but lifting the ground on such a powerful amp could be a fire hazard.
