TROUBLESHOOTING

No audio and the POWER INDICATOR is off

  • No voltage ai BATT+ and/or REM tem1inals, or bad or no ground connection. Check voltages at amp[ttier terminals with VOM.

No audio and PROTECT INDICATOR flashes every 4 seconds

  • DC Vonage on amplifier output. The amplifier may need service see the enclosed warranty card for service information.

No audio and PROTECT and POWER INDICATORS flash

  • Voltage less than 9V on BATT – connection. Check vehicle charging system.

No audio and PROTECT INDICATOR is on

  • The amplifier is overheated. Make sure amplifier cooling is not blocked at the mounting location. Or, there may be a cottage greater than 16V (or less than 8.51/) on a BATT+ connection. Check vehicle charging system.

The amplifier fuse keeps blowing

  • The wiring is connected incorrectly or there is a shore circuit. Check wiring connections.

Distorted audio

  • Gain Is Not Set Properly. Check Setting. Check Wire.
  • For Shorts Or Grounds. Amplifier Or Source Unit May Be Defective.

Distorted audio and PROTECT INDICATOR flashes

  • Short circuit in speaker or wire. Remove speaker leads one at a time to locate shorted speaker or wire, and repair it.

Music lacks dynamics or “punch”

  • Speakers are not connected properly. Check speaker oonnections for proper polarity.

Engine noise-whining or clicking- in the system when the engine is on

The amplifier is picking up alternator noise. First, check the ground connection on the amplifier – loose or improper ground is one of the main causes of noise. Tum down gain. Move RCA aud·o cables away from power wires. Installing an alternator noise finer on the power line between battery and alternator might also be necessary.
