Default Trouble shoot help.

Riding home from work I noticed my stereo didn't sound right. When I get home I find out left side is out only playing on right side. So it's either player or amp... What's the best way to check?

Thanks

Signatures don't show up in the phone app version. Definitely would make it easier if they did

Start simple, check connections, make sure an rca didn't come unplugged, check speaker connections etc. If all looks ok, swap left input for right input. If the problem follows the cable it's in the head unit, or rca cable, if it remains the same it's in the amp.
