Crate FXT 120 help...

Ok well I have had this amp for less than a year and it already seemed to have messed up on me (well at least I think so..) The problem is a bit hard to explain but I'll give it a shot. One day i was playing my guitar and out of nowhere the sound kinda died on me. Now when i have the volume at like say 5, it sounds like it is only at 1 or 2. i was messing around with the speaker wires in the back and i moved them around and i got the sound back temporarily. I'm thinking maybe it could be just a soldering problem but I'm not too sure. My amp is still under Crate's 1 yr limited warranty but i wanna try and find out whats wrong with it before i go spending money to repair it. i would rather fix it myself instead of having to spend money on it. if you guys can help me find out whats wrong it would be much appreciated!!! thanks guys

1 year warranty means they fix it for free... and i think the 1 year part really stands for "we need a year to fix it".

check the wires/solder first, if you can make a decent solder connection, try to redo them. If it doesn't work, get it back to Crate a.s.a.p.
