No audio Cerwin-Vega VS-120

[Baron623]

Hello, my Uncle gave me four Cerwin-Vega VS-120 speakers.  I decided that I would set up a second home theater in my basement.  I ran speaker wire, and have them all running off of a Yamaha RX-V773 reciever.  I haven’t been able to get any audio, not even static!  I checked the fuses on all of the speakers and they are all good.  I’m not very well versed in this stuff, if anyone has any suggestions I would be appreciative, thanks!

I have four VS-150s in my shop that are over 20 years old but still sound great.  Try running just one pair off the receiver's front channels and see if it works.  The low impedance might tripping some kind of protection with the rear channels on the receiver.
