Amp problem


posted by jayster102 on Dec 31, 2007


I have a yamaha home theater amp and when I hook up my frount main speakers I get a loud hilicoctor sound from my speakers. It also seems it has a lot of poower pushibg throug the speaker wire because it sparks hard when I try to kook the speakers up. Both the neg and positves are right. Do you think the amps bad?
I have the same problem.

measure the resistance on the speaker cables and see if they are shorted (less than 4 ohms) somewhere. Swap around the speakers and amp ouputs to isolate what is the cause.
