TROUBLESHOOTING
If the subwoofer(s) does not appear to be working, check for blown
fuses, poor or incorrect wiring connections and incorrect settings.
NO SOUND? 1) Source unit volume is turned down or muted: Turn
volume up slowly or turn mute off. 2) Speaker leads shorted: Check
speaker continuity using a Digital Multimeter (DMM) to ground (it
should show no common ground). 3) Speakers not connected or
blown: Check speaker connections at ampli er and at speakers.
Disconnect speakers at ampli er and measure coil impedance with a
Digital Multimeter
DISTORTED AUDIO? 1) Gain may not be properly set: Review your
ampli er’s user guide to correctly adjust gain setting. 2) Speaker may
be damaged: Inspect each speaker cone for signs of damage (frozen
cone, burned smell, separated or ripped surround or spider).
REDUCED BASS? 1) Speakers may be wired in reverse polarity:
Reverse a speaker connection from positive to negative on the stereo
or speaker.
AMPLIFIER SHUTS DOWN AFTER PLAYING FOR A PERIOD OF
TIME? 1) Thermal protection circuits are shutting the ampli er off:
Check the location for adequate ventilation (Relocate ampli er if
necessary). Impedance may be too low and over heating the ampli er.
Check ampli er’s user guide for impedance compatibility.
