If the subwoofer(s) does not appear to be working, check for blown fuses, poor or incorrect wiring connections and incorrect settings. NO SOUND? 1) Source unit volume is turned down or muted: Turn volume up slowly or turn mute off. 2) Speaker leads shorted: Check speaker continuity using a Digital Multimeter (DMM) to ground (it should show no common ground). 3) Speakers not connected or blown: Check speaker connections at amplifier and at speakers. Disconnect speakers at amplifier and measure coil impedance with a Digital Multimeter. DISTORTED AUDIO? 1) Gain may not be properly set: Review your amplifier’s user guide to correctly adjust gain setting. 2) Speaker may be damaged: Inspect each speaker cone for signs of damage (frozen cone, burned smell, separated or ripped surround or spider). REDUCED BASS? 1) Speakers may be wired in reverse polarity: Reverse a speaker connection from positive to negative on the stereo or speaker.
