Only 3GB of bad sectors

2016-12-27 23:40:21 UTC  

Still very much usable

2016-12-27 23:40:33 UTC  

@42N primarily the fact that I dont really knew anything about music electronics and just now thought about it. so AWG as in american wire gauge? i ll have a look into it

2016-12-27 23:40:47 UTC  

The higher the number the thinner the wire

2016-12-27 23:41:08 UTC  

can i just replace them with thicker ones? mine are quite thin

2016-12-27 23:41:19 UTC  

You could

2016-12-27 23:41:20 UTC  

assuming your 5.1 system is similar to mine and most others

2016-12-27 23:41:27 UTC  

you could just splice new wires in

2016-12-27 23:41:35 UTC  

have you found the source of the problem though?

2016-12-27 23:42:26 UTC  

its gotta be the cables pretty much. sometimes sound is coming through, but the slightest shaking or vibration and its gone

2016-12-27 23:42:33 UTC  

ah

2016-12-27 23:42:57 UTC  

check your cable connections, you may have to restrip them and throw them back in

2016-12-27 23:43:23 UTC  

i just feel kinda dumb when it comes to music stuff. never bothered to get into it. thats why i just grabbed my headphones when the thing broke down

2016-12-27 23:45:06 UTC  

how old is it? I have a ten year old system that works fine

2016-12-27 23:45:48 UTC  

6-7y

2016-12-27 23:46:08 UTC  

guessing it hasn't been in the sun?

2016-12-27 23:46:24 UTC  

thats not a serious question is it?

2016-12-27 23:46:43 UTC  

and i am just sitting here in my basement

2016-12-27 23:46:48 UTC  

oh great

2016-12-27 23:46:58 UTC  

yeah check connections, put some music through and wiggle wires

2016-12-27 23:47:24 UTC  

i will. thanks a lot for the info. didnt know where to start really

2016-12-27 23:47:48 UTC  

if the speakers have those quick detach plates for wires then it'll be easier to change it up

2016-12-27 23:48:00 UTC  

but since you did say you have thin wires

2016-12-27 23:48:31 UTC  

i assume they have. you mean those levers that clench the cables in

2016-12-27 23:48:40 UTC  

yeah

2016-12-27 23:49:04 UTC  

yeah just wiggle wires around, restrip and check for continuity

2016-12-27 23:49:26 UTC  

if nothing improves, it may be your receiver/amp being all finnicky

2016-12-27 23:49:32 UTC  

but I doubt that

2016-12-27 23:49:57 UTC  

i hope not. can it be the red/white stereo cable?

2016-12-27 23:50:09 UTC  

yeah

2016-12-27 23:50:17 UTC  

just restrip and connect that

2016-12-27 23:50:38 UTC  

but if the cable itself is fucked, just get any other cable and put that in

2016-12-27 23:50:49 UTC  

as long as your polarity is correct

2016-12-27 23:51:03 UTC  

really no problem with chink cables

2016-12-27 23:51:13 UTC  

wew, this gonna be some task for tommorrow

2016-12-27 23:51:21 UTC  

insulation might be

2016-12-27 23:53:52 UTC
