Problem	Possible Cause(s)	Action

		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 malfunctioning
		line. If the sound level has gone or is very weak, the
	Wiring	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 connection).
		Using the test speaker, move down the line and
		test each connection/junction until you find the problem
		and correct it. Observe proper polarity.
		When two speakers are connected out of polarity
