- No Sound: Check all wiring connections from the amplifier to the speaker. Ensure the amplifier is powered on and functioning correctly. Verify the audio source is active.
- Distorted Sound: Reduce the volume level. Check amplifier gain settings; they may be too high, causing clipping. Inspect speaker wires for shorts or damage. Ensure the speaker is not over-powered.
- Weak or Muffled Sound: Check speaker polarity (+/- connections). Ensure the speaker is properly mounted and sealed in its enclosure.
- Intermittent Sound: Inspect all connections for looseness or corrosion. Check for any breaks in the speaker wire.
