Solution
Check speaker leads for
short circuits or
disconnected cables.
Reverse the LEFT and
RIGHT RCA inputs to
determine if the loss is
occurring before the
amplifier.
Check speaker load
impedance. Make sure
that you have followed
correct speaker load
impedance
recommendations. (If you
used an ohm meter to
check speaker
resistance, remember
that DC resistance and
AC impedance may not
be the same.)
Turn source device's
volume down. Relocate
the amplifier to a better
ventilated place.
Separate all speaker
wires, and make sure
they are insulated.
