Step 4: Secure the Seismic Tab Connection Point

The rear of the enclosure includes an eye- bolt for connection to a seismic restraint. Connect it to a properly rated hardware fit- ting that is securely installed independent- ly of the SAM™ bracket. Even if your local construction code does not require the installation of secondary support, its use is highly recommended for further security.

Troubleshooting Table

Problem

Possible Cause(s)

Action

1. No sound

Amplifier

Connect a known working test speaker to the amplifier

 

 

outputs. If there is no sound, check that all the elec-

 

 

tronics are on, the signal routing is correct, the source

 

 

is active, the volume is turned up, and so on. Correct/

 

 

repair/replace as necessary. If there is sound, the

 

 

problem is in the wiring.

 

Wiring

Verify that you have connected the correct wire pairs to

 

 

the amplifier. Play something at low level through the

 

 

amplifier (for example, from a CD player or tuner).

 

 

Connect the test speaker in parallel with the malfunc-

 

 

tioning line. If the sound has gone or is very weak, the

 

 

line has a short in it (possibly a severe scrape, pinch,

 

 

or staple puncture). If the sound level is normal, the

 

 

wire is open (possibly a cut wire or a missed connec-

 

 

tion). Using the test speaker, move down the line and

 

 

test each connection/junction until you find the problem

 

 

and correct it. Observe proper polarity.

Step 3: Wire the Speaker

Connect the wires to the speaker at the back terminal plate observing the polarity of the connections. The push-terminals accept banana connector plugs.

Step 5: Test System Operation

After all connections are made, test the complete system operation. The Trouble- shooting Table on the next page will assist in locating many speaker-related problems.

2. Poor low-

Speakers wired

When two speakers are connected out of polarity

frequency

out-of-polarity

(out of phase), the low frequencies will cancel each

response

 

other acoustically. Carefully observe the wire markings

 

 

or tracers on your speaker wires. Verify that the ampli-

 

 

fier (+) terminal is connected to the red speaker termi-

 

 

nals and the amplifier (–) terminal is connected to all

 

 

the black speaker terminals.

 

Improperly wired

Using a test speaker as described above, verify that

 

subwoofer panel

all amplifier and speaker wires are connected to their

 

 

proper terminals with the correct polarity. Reversing

 

 

just one set of amplifier wires can cut out all bass

 

 

output from the subwoofer.

3. Intermittent output Faulty connection

Check all connections at amplifier and speakers to

such as crackling

 

ensure they are clean and tight. If the problem persists,

or distortion

 

it may be in the amplifier or wiring. See no. 1 above.

4. Constant noise

Defective amplifier

If the noise is present but no program material is

such as buzzing,

or other electronic

playing, the likely cause is the signal chain in the elec-

hissing, humming

device

tronics. Evaluate each component as necessary to iso-

 

 

late the problem.

 

Poor system

Check and correct the system grounding, as required.
