TROUBLESHOOTING
NO OUTPUT
- Confirm all wiring is firmly connected: Both +12V must have +12 Volts present and GND must be connected to the chassis’ ground or to the negative battery terminal.
- Confirm the signal source is connected via Bluetooth or the auxiliary cable is connected to both the source and the MXASB9
WEAK OUTPUT
- Check Bluetooth device volume level.
UNWANTED NOISE
- Whine that increases and decreases with engine speed – confirm the Amp & Source unit are grounded properly.
- Clicking or popping noise at a rate that follows engine speed – this is often induced by the vehicle’s ignition system. The con is that the vehicle is equipped with resistor spark plugs and wires. The ignition system may need service.
- Noise can be caused by routing speaker input wires too close to the light wires and other accessory wires in the vehicle. Re-route wires to avoid unwanted interference.
RED LED IS ILLUMINATED
- Speaker or wire is shorted
- Battery voltage too low
- Battery voltage too high
- The amplifier has overheated due to improper ventilation.
If the above steps do not improve/reduce noise, the system should be checked by a professional audio installer at a Memphis Authorized Dealer.
