  1. Troubleshooting for Speaker Basic inspection of speaker Inspect the sound from speaker after verifying that the speaker mounting screws are removed and the wiring connector is connected to remove any possible vibration transmitted from body trims and surrounding parts. Case Troubleshooting TERMINAL SPECIFICATION CHART No. Case Inspection/Remedy 1 Trembling sound Before replacing the speaker, inspect that the mounting screw is installed normally. After re-installing the speaker, verify that no trembling sound is heard. When hearing a trembling sound again, replace the speaker with new one. 2 Noise Check if the wiring connector is connected normally. If not, reconnect the wiring connector. In case of radio static, check if there is a noise from CD. If a noise is heard with the radio and CD on, replace the speaker with new one. NOTE: In case there is only radio static, this causes from poor radio reception. Thus the speaker needs no repair and replacement. 3 Speaker in operative Inspection of the wiring connection between the battery and the speaker Before replacing the speaker, inspect the wiring connection between the battery and the speaker is normal. Check the supply power to the speaker and the resistance, then inspect the sound quality. Specified impedance: 2 ~ 4ohms (Scheme 49): Checking Operation Of Speaker If the speaker works poorly, replace it with new one. CAUTION: When handling the speakers: Do not damage the speaker with impact, like dropping or throwing it. Be careful not to drop water and oil on the speakers. Caution during handling of speaker because the material of diaphragm is paper which is easily torn by impact or external force. Modifying the audio system may cause damage the speakers. If this is the case, the speakers are not covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
