Unregistered guest | hey all,...newbie here.. here is my deal. I have a philips magnavox FW545C home stereo. I just moved and Im noticing that im getting some pretty bad fuzz from my speakers. I still get great volume from them, just some gnarly fuzz. Could it be the connection? I really dont know much about this kind of thing, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Blake |

If you really like to enjoy music loud, invest a little more and get something like this : Only $239 shipped (was close to $1000) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5710726540 |

Perhaps first go through and make sure there are no loose strands of wire and that the connections are secure. Next I would run the test function (that emits pink noise through the speakers) and see if it is only in one speaker or coming through all of them. That should give you an idea if it is in the speakers or in the unit. Hope that helps |

Unregistered guest | hey guys, first..thanks for the responses. now the questions..what exactly do you mean by the test function? Next a bit more info..the house im in is a hardwood floor house that is quite older. The plug for the stereo is only a 2 prong. I find that buzzing seems to come from more the base in the music more. The stereo doesnt have a seperate woofer. Im wondering if maybe I damaged the base woofers in the speaker?? Thanks again, Blake |
