[QUOTE="frikkie, post: 85361, member: 845"] Like GITM says. Check the basic first, ie make sure the left speaker is connected to the left speakers taps, and the right to the right. Phasing is easy to check using a mono source - do you have a tuner? Set it to FM mono and listen to music smack bang in the centre of your speakers. Note the amount of bass you hear, and note where the singer "appears", ie does he/she sound like the voice emanates from between the speakers somewhere. Now, swap ONE speaker's + and - WHILST THE AMP IS OFF. Do the same test - the bass would either sound far more solid, or a lot more weak/wimpy/thin. If thinner, your speakers are now out of phase and were correct before. If the bass is now a lot stronger, the phasing is now correct - leave it like so. Out of phase the voice will appear to emanate from kind of 'everywhere', in phase the voice will be smack-bang centre between the speaks. Now, start with the more complex stuff like making sure your turntable is well set up etc. [/QUOTE]
