Lets check the simple stuff first. Check the speaker calbes and make sure that they are both hooked up the same way. If you have colored cables, then make sure that both "red" (for example) wires are connected to the positive(+) terminal of the speakers. If you have one to + and one to -, you will get sound out but lose the bass. This is because the speakers will be out of phase. This is the most common cause of the loss of bass response.

If that does not resolve the problem, please check with headphones to confirm that the problem is with the amp and not the speakers. Update this with your results.

Thanks,
Dan

How can i get more bass out of my frontman 65, it sounds good but it has very bright thin sound. i was wondering if an eminence swamp thang speaker would fix that problem.

Changing the speaker MAY turn out disappointing results. There is a limit what you can get from a 12 inch speaker in the bass range. USUALLY the amp manufacturers match the speaker/cabinet/and amp for about the best performance that can be expected. Want more bass? Step up to a 15 inch speaker.

Rockford p8002 keeps pulseing. (not a ground problem)

for seeing a out of phaze speaker you would have to run like a 10 hz or lower signal to the amp you might be seeing a optical illusion if they were out of phaze or backwards the speaker would have cancled each other out so it would sound like **** as you said.but anyway it sounds like the amps power supply is bad.put it back in you car and see if it still works like it did befor you put it in your friends car.you may have burned it up.find out how much the amp is worth and if can have it fixed for less then 60% of orignal cost then have it fixed

My speakers make almost no sound at max volume. However if you listen closely, the music still plays, its just not amplified. How can i check the amplifier?

if you are wanting bass adjust your amp settings to low pass. if you are wanting a lil bass- a lil treb- adjust your amp to full. and make sure your rca cables are hooked up in the proper spots.

Crate Bass Amp B100 - No sound.

Do you happen to have another speaker that you could hook up to speaker output? This would bypass the amps internal speaker and lf you get sound from that setup, it would mean either a jack failure or possible internal speaker problems. Please let me know.

Can you directly hook a sr16 to a peavey bass speaker cabinet using the output mono on the sr16 to send or retrn on the cabinet?

You can, however a bass speaker cabinet will NOT handle the higher pitch sounds needed for cymbals and snares, etc. You would connect it to the return AND doing so would DISABLE the other inputs of the bass speaker cabinet.

If you want both a guitar and drum machine into the cabinet, you need at least a small mixer or a speaker cabinet that can take two channels input simultaneously.

Plugging into the "return" of the cabinet DISCONNECTS the power amp from the preamp section in the cabinet.

I HAVE A PUNCH A2 AND WHEN I HOOK UP THE LEFT SPEAKER IT SOUNDS DISTORTED, I HAVE SWAPPED SPEAKERS AND STILL THE SAME.THE RIGHT SIDE WORKS FINE?

If your speakers not wired up properly sometimes the bass can shake the wire off and it leads to a horrible crackly noise, make sure it's securely wrapped around and tied to the terminal. Otherwise it could be a blown speaker or you are trying to put more power into the speaker than the speaker can handle.

Adcom GFA 5500 right channel emits horrible sound. Broken highs and no bass. Is is repairable by a semi amatuer?

Adcom makes a great amplifer! Usually broken highs and no bass means blown speaker. Try hooking it up to a completely different input source. Try different speakers also. If problem persists, check the fuse. Most will have a fuse on the back you can screw out. Some have two fuses (one for each channel) If this doesn't fix the problem it could be expensive to fix. Also, does this model ave the thermal protection light and if so, does it come on at all?

I am getting nothing but feedback from my car subwoofers

Check for crossed wires.... that is the only thing that would cause a steady bass note. Feed back is caused by cross talk between wiring.
