<<<unbranded huge speakers!>>> That maybe all of these problems in one go. If you poke your head behind your amplifier and speakers, they need to be wired up the same way. The amplifier connections will be, say, Left, Red and Black, and Right, Red and Black. Each speaker will have polarity marked as...
