devices to isolate interference
source. Replace faulty device(s).
Check grounding to devices and
repair where needed.
5 Poor low
frequency output
Incorrect speaker

speakers
Check polarity between
speakers. Incorrect polarity
(out of polarity) results in low
frequencies cancelling each other
out. Reverse polarity for each
speaker in turn until a greater
low frequency is obtained.
