Amplifier Verify all the electronics are on, the signal No sound routing is correct, the source is active; the volume is turned up, etc. Correct/repair/replace as necessary. If there is still no sound, the problem may be wiring. Wiring Verify you have connected the correct cables to the amplifier. Play something at a low level through the amplifier. Connect a test loudspeaker in parallel with the malfunctioning line. If the sound level is gone or is very weak, the line has a short in it (possibly a severe scrape, pinch, or a missed connection). Using the test loudspeaker, move down the line and test each connection/junction until you find the problem and correct it. Observe proper polarity. 2. 3. Intermittent Faulty connection Check all connections at amplifier and output such as loudspeakers to ensure they are all clean and crackling or tight. If the problem persists, check the wiring. distortion See problem 1.
