Case

Inspection/Remedy

Trembling sound

Before replacing the speaker, inspect that the mounting screws are installed properly.
After re-installing the speaker, verify that no trembling sound is heard.
When a trembling sound is heard again, replace the speaker with new one.

Noise

Check if the wiring connector is connected properly. If not, reconnect the wiring connector.
In case of radio static, check if there is a noise from CD player.
When a noise is heard on turning radio on, replace the speaker with a new one.

NOTE: If the noise is related to radio static only, this must be coming from poor radio reception. In this case, there is no need for repair or replacement.

Poor performance

Inspection of the wiring connection between the battery and the speaker

Before replacing the speaker, inspect the wiring and connections in the speaker circuit.

Check the supplying power to the speaker and the resistance, and then inspect the sound quality.
