- Thibitisha ampKifaa cha lifier au kichwa cha kifaa kimewashwa na kufanya kazi ipasavyo.
- Ensure the audio source is active and volume is turned up.
- Sauti Iliyopotoka:
- Punguza kiwango cha sauti kwenye kifaa chako cha kichwa au ampmaisha zaidi.
- Angalia miunganisho ya wiring huru.
- Hakikisha amplifier haipitiki kupita kiasi au kukata.
- Verify the impedance of the speakers matches the ampuwezo wa lifier.
- Sauti ya Muda:
- Inspect wiring for loose connections or corrosion.
- Angalia kama kuna saketi fupi zozote kwenye nyaya za spika.
- Spika Moja haifanyi kazi:
- Swap the non-working speaker with a known working one to determine if the issue is with the speaker or the wiring/amplifier channel.
- Check the balance settings on your head unit.
