Check loudspeaker wiring.
This product contains a biamp. It is important not to connect the front loudspeaker
ground to the rear speaker ground.
Faulty loudspeaker.
Distortion at highest volume levels may be normal, as amplifier has reached
maximum power output. Otherwise the power and ground wire's gauge might
be too small (use 10amp cable or more).
Reduce the bass effect or switch off the loudness mode.
Battery and or charging circuit may be faulty.
