Troubleshooting

In the event that your Audiobahn speakers appear to require service we ask that you first do a little trouble
shooting to determine if the problem is actually the speaker, or a problem located in a different part of the vehicle
such as the amplifier, wiring, fusing or possibly the source unit.
If your Audiobahn speakers have been installed professionally by an authorized Audiobahn Dealer, we
recommend that you return to the dealer and demonstrate the problem to a qualified installer or repair technician.
If you installed the speaker yourself, use the following guidelines to help find the problem.
1) No Sound
*Check the source or amplifier for power and be sure they are operating properly
*Check all signal Connections
*Check for any wiring that may be shorting together or touching the metal chassis
*Check all ground connections
2) Distorted Sound at All Volumes
*Check for bad speaker connections
*Check wiring for correct polarity
3) Distorted Sound at High Volumes Only
*Check for loose mounting of the speaker
*Inspect the speaker for debris in the cone or other obstructions
*Check the woofer cone for any damage or defects
4) Poor Bass Response
*Check wiring for correct polarity
*Check for unstable or loose mounting surface
*Check bass & treble controls as the source unit or amplifier
5) Poor High Frequency Response
*Check wiring for correct polarity
*Check treble control or EQ settings
*Check the tweeter for possible damage
