Troubleshooting

No sound from speakers.

Check the speaker cable connections at both the speakers and the amplifier/receiver. Ensure the amplifier/receiver is powered on and the correct input is selected. Verify the volume level is not muted or too low.

Distorted sound.

Reduce the volume level. Check for loose connections. Ensure the amplifier/receiver is compatible with the speaker's impedance (6 Ohms).

One speaker is not working.

Check the speaker cable connection for the silent speaker. Swap the speaker cables to see if the problem moves to the other speaker; this helps determine if the issue is with the speaker or the amplifier/receiver.

Weak bass response.

Ensure the speakers are placed correctly, away from walls. Experiment with speaker placement to optimize bass response. Check your amplifier settings, and if needed, use a subwoofer to supplement the low frequencies.
