On the off chance that you possess different subwoofers, should give the others a superficial examination. Check to ensure that links are immovably associated and connected to the right spots.

The input(s) on the back of the subwoofer for the most part plug into the subwoofer yield on the back of collectors/speakers. In the event that the subwoofer associates with speaker yields on the collector/enhancer, assess the whole length of wire associations for deformities. On the off chance that any piece of wire seems, by all accounts, to be worn, torn, or harmed, supplant them before endeavoring to utilize the hardware once more.

Most subwoofers have a "backup" LED that shines to demonstrate dynamic power.

In the event that the subwoofer still doesn't control on, have a go at connecting it to an alternate outlet that you know works legitimately.

Watch that the subwoofer is related with the correct sound information selection(s). Ensure that the subwoofer's yield hasn't likewise been balanced down.

On the off chance that the beneficiary/intensifier offers speaker estimate settings, pick the 'little' choice first; now and then setting the speaker size to 'huge' makes it with the goal that the subwoofer doesn't get a flag. A few collectors will in reality enable subwoofers to work with a 'vast' speaker setting, so counsel the item manual for extra subtleties.

Confirm Connections, Turn on Subwoofer, Set Volume

Play tracks that exhibit bass substance and slowly increment volume to test.

After all associations and settings have been confirmed, turn on the subwoofer. Make certain to check the volume level on the subwoofer or potentially collector/speaker before sending any sound info. Begin the volume down low and slowly increment so as to decide whether the subwoofer is working effectively or not. Pick music test tracks that highlight low-end bass substance so there is no doubt somehow. In the event that you can feel the blast, at that point congrats on the achievement!

On the off chance that conceivable, interface a different subwoofer up to the recipient/enhancer to test and ensure the equipment glitch isn't identified with the beneficiary/speaker. On the off chance that the second subwoofer works, at that point it's all around likely the first is in fact terrible. Be that as it may, before you begin shopping, make certain to review your subwoofer nuts and bolts so you realize what may best suit your inclinations.
