Don’t use anything bigger than these.

Turn off all equipment before you begin.

If you have the right wire and everything works, you’ll hear your speaker make some noise.

Speakers, receivers, and speaker wires are not built the same.

Once everything is connected, play some audio through your speakers to confirm everything actually works as intended.

Connect working speaker wires to the unresponsive speaker.

If the speaker still doesn’t produce any sound, the speaker may be defective.

You’ll need to investigate further as if you’retroubleshooting when one speaker channel isn’t working.

If the battery test does work, this likely means that the original wire is the problem.

Carefully check the entire length of the wire in question since even a small break can lead to problems.

Subwoofers don’t always connect in the same way that typical stereo speakers connect.
