    • Verify the audio source is active and producing sound.
    • Confirm the amplifier's volume is not set to minimum or muted.
  • Distorted Sound:
    • Reduce the volume level on your amplifier. Overdriving the speaker can cause distortion.
    • Check for proper power matching between the amplifier and speaker. An amplifier that is too powerful or underpowered can lead to distortion or damage.
    • Inspect speaker wires for damage or short circuits.
  • Intermittent Sound:
    • Check for loose connections at both the speaker and amplifier terminals.
    • Examine speaker cables for any breaks or damage.
