4. Troubleshooting

No sound from the speakers

Check the wiring connections and ensure that the speakers are connected to the correct channels on your car's audio system. Also, verify that the audio system is turned on and the volume is at an audible level.

Distorted sound or low volume

Ensure that the speakers are connected with the correct polarity (+ to + and - to -). Check the crossover settings and adjust them if necessary. If the issue persists, the speakers may be underpowered or overpowered by your car's audio system. Consult a professional installer for assistance.

Speakers vibrate or rattle

Ensure that the speakers are securely mounted and there are no loose screws or mounting hardware. If the issue persists, the mounting surface may be too thin or flexible. Reinforce the mounting surface or consult a professional installer for assistance.
