Do I have an amp or speaker problem

Post by pnyryd »

I have a PG Tantrum 400.4 running front and rear doors the problem is I don't have any sound or very little from the front left until I crank up the volume then it's all good. Any ideas?

Start by turning the gain control pots up and down all the way a few times, and then back to the setting you had them. Then do the same thing with the crossover control pots as well.

Sometimes these form a bit of corrosion internally and the amp will do bizarre things. You might have a more advanced problem than this, but these suggestions are a good place to start.

No longer really "in tune" with the audio industry, and probably have not been for some time.
