'''DOUBLE CHECK the wiring from the Exaktbox to power amplifier to speaker terminals!'''<br>
 
If there are any mis-wires or wrong speaker definintions in the Exaktbox, you may blow the speaker drive units, so take care.
 
 
 
If this is the first connection use the standard Aktiv test scenario.
 
# Disconnect any power amplifier to speakers connections
 
# Switch off ALL power amplifiers.
 
# Set to a low volume value, e.g 40-50
 
# Connect ONLY the Bass (or drive unit you are testiing shown in point7) power amplifier connection to the Bass connection of the speaker.
 
# Switch on the Bass amplifier and play some Music. Check that you are only getting Bass audio from that speaker drive unit.
 
# Stop the Music playing.
 
# Leave this cable connected and repeat steps 3-7 repeating the test for each speaker individually in the order of
