Action
Make sure the amplifier channel is being fed an
input signal (preferably via a "signal input"
indicator on the amp).
Check that the amplifier channel's volume is
turned up.
Connect the speaker and cable, which had no
output to another amplifier channel, making sure
an input signal is fed to the new amp channel. If
you then get output, the problem was the
amplifier channel. If not, then the problem may
be in the cable or speaker.
Replace the cable(s) connecting the loudspeaker
system and amplifier.
Check all cabling for proper connector contact.
A bad connection can result in intermittent
contact or dramatically increased resistance,
which in turn can cause reduced output or noises
unrelated to the signal.
Check the power tap setting under the speaker
grille to ensure the setting is appropriate for the
installation and amplifier chosen.
Since loudspeakers cannot generate these sounds
by themselves, you may have a faulty electronic
device, or a faulty ground in the signal chain.
When two speakers are hooked up out of
polarity, the low frequencies cancel each other
out. Make sure that the" +" and" - " from the
amplifier output are not crossed on one or more
of the speakers.
