Troubleshooting

6

Situation:

Probable Cause:

Solution:

No sound from the 
subwoofer(s)

Amplifier is not connected to 

constant A/C power outlet.

 

Subwoofer(s) is/are not 

connected to the amplifier 

correctly 

Amplifier is not receiving an 

audio signal for the  

pre-amp/receiver

 

 
 

Electrical short in wiring 
 
 

Amplifier fuse might be blown

Make certain the amplifier is 

plugged into an unswitchable 

A/C power outlet
Make certain that subwoofer(s) 

is/are connected properly (refer 

to the connections section of 

this manual)

Maker certain there is an 
audio signal from pre-

amp/receiver and audio 

connections resemble those 
in the connections section of 

this manual.
Verify that all connections are 

complete and secure, with no 

stray wires contacting other 

terminals.

Replace fuse (if fuse is not 

readily accessible, consult 

your authorized Destination 

Audio dealer). WARNING: 

Before replacing fuses, 

please see the rear panel 

features/controls section 

(Figure 2, #14) of this 

manual.

Sound from at least one 
subwoofer, but not the 
other(s)

Bad connection(s) to non-

working subwoofer(s)

Electrical short in wiring 
 
 
 
 

If one subwoofer is damaged 

due to being overdriven, then 

it may have a negative effect 

on another subwoofer used 

in a series connection.

Verify all wires are properly 

connected.
Verify that all connections 

are complete and secure, 

with no stray wires contacting 

other terminals. If problem 

is in wire itself, replace the 

suspect wire.
Check each individual 

subwoofer to verify each is 

still operational
