Hey everyone!
I have a bit of a peculiar problem I was hoping somebody here might have some insight on. My home theater audio set up consists of a Klipsch 5.1 reference series speaker setup, a Denon 4311CI receiver and an Emotiva XPA-5 amplifier. Unfortunately upon moving a few years ago, the movers broke my surround Klipsch RS-62II speakers, so I had to buy brand new replacements ones which have simply sat in a box. My home theater equipment and speakers sat unused for about a year and a half until I’ve recently had space and time to set up the home theater again. Upon getting everything installed and wired back up, the first two movies I watched looked and sounded perfectly. Upon watching the third movie, however, I started to hear a loud rumbling/banging noise coming out of the right RS-62II surround during parts of the movie that were bass/LFE heavy. The rumbling got louder and more frequent during the next two movies I watched and then suddenly the left speaker started doing it too. This was very odd to me as these speakers were new and this was probably their 10th hour of total use.
I contacted Klipsch and they were very kind to send me replacement woofers and a replacement crossover board for the RS-62II speakers. I replaced them in the left surround speaker (didn’t touch the right yet) and tried a scene in a movie, but it’s still making the loud rumbling/banging noise during bass-heavy scenes.
I took a video that shows the sound (it’s actually louder on the other speaker) that starts about 5 seconds in (and does it again about 5 seconds after):
If anybody has any insight on this, I would greatly appreciate it! It’s odd as these speakers are new and the sound system components worked perfectly fine before sitting a year and a half or so.

Sounds like the speaker is broken or not connected correct.
