3. Play some deep bass passages of music. The sound should seem to come from a point between the two speakers. The bass should be full and natural. If not, your connec- tions may be reversed, causing the speakers to play out of phase.
Cleaning your speakers Use a damp cloth to clean your 161 household cleaners. Do not apply liquids directly to the speakers. If you vacuum the front grille of the speakers, do so carefully. Troubleshooting If you experience problems with your 161 speakers, the following suggestions may help.
