i have a 240 watt klipsch subwoofer. its part of a set with 2 satalite speakers. the pro media 2.1 system. i recently bought some 80 watt a piece yamaha speakers and some bookshelf bose speakers that i'm not sure of the wattage of, they're probably about 50 watt a piece or something, anyway i hooked them all up to the subwoofer and now the subwoofer doesnt send anything to the speakers, only the subwoofer plays, is this fixable? I have a similar problem except my right Klipsch satellite speaker is dead. I switched wires and plugs to narrow it down to the sub woofer right output. Any advice?

I have the same problem.

its all about impedance matching...did you check to see that the new yamahas would drive from the system, before installing them? sounds like you will need to possibly add a matching transformer or other device on this one.
