      Distorted audio on your JBL Car Receiver can stem from several factors. Here are a few things to check: * Loudspeaker wiring * Avoid connecting the front loudspeaker ground to the rear speaker ground. * Faulty loudspeaker * Distortion at highest volume levels may be normal, as the amplifier has reached its maximum power output. * Use 10amp cable or more. * Reduce the bass effect or switch off the loudness mode. * Boat battery and or charging circuit may be faulty.

      If you're experiencing interference on the radio with your JBL Car Receiver, it could be due to poor atmospheric conditions; in this case, try again later in the day. Another cause could be a broken or damaged antenna or lead.
