If you start having problems with distorted
sound or loss performance after installing your
subs, you can follow the ins
tructions below to
try and locate what is causing the problem.
1) If you have any distorted sound, loss of
performance, or
rattling from your subs, check
the connections running from your amplifier or
other processor to the box. You will also w
ant to
check the connections inside the box to make sure
no wires have become unhooked or are loose.
2) If the above does not
solve the problem,
check your enclosure thoroughly to see if there
are any leaks, cracks, or broken pieces. Any loss
of st
ructural integrity of your enclosure can
cause significant performance loss and distortion.
3) The next step you can ta
ke is to remove
the subs and look for any burned wire leads or
separated components. You can normally smell
something burn
ing when a sub blows or is going
bad. Sometimes when you play subs to hard for
too long, they will start to heat up.
4) If none o
f the above steps solve the
problem, you will want to start looking at the
other components in the vehicle. Start by
checki
ng all connections to and from the box,
amplifier, source unit, or any other processors
you may be using. You will need to r
eference to
that particular manufacturer for any setting
configurations or troubleshooting.
