Electrical Noise Distortion In One Speaker
- Remove output signal C1 connector from amplifier and check for short to ground on speaker with distortion.
- If shorted to ground, disconnect speaker connector and recheck from amplifier for short to ground.
- If still shorted to ground, repair wires. Not shorted to ground, replace speaker.
- If not shorted to ground, check speaker resistance at amplifier connector for two to five ohms.
- If resistance is OK, see Radio Diagnosis. If radio checks OK, replace amplifier.
- If resistance is less than 1.7 ohms (subwoofer) and 2-2.25 ohms (3 1/2"), replace speaker. If resistance is OK, repair wires.
- If resistance exceeds 5 ohms, check wiring and speaker for high resistance.
