Troubleshooting

Problem

Cause

Action

Unit will not turn on

(no power LED indicator)

+12V wire not connected or incorrect voltage 
REM wire not connected or incorrect voltage

Check connections for proper voltage 
(11~16VDC)

GND wire not connected

Check connection to ground

Fuse(s) blown

Replace fuse(s)

Unit has power - LED is 

blue (but no sound)

Speaker wires not connected

Check connections at speakers

Volume turned all the way down

Increase volume level at head unit

One or more speaker wires touching each 

other or touching chassis ground

Insulate all bare speaker wires from each 

other and chassis ground

Speaker(s) defective or damaged

Check/replace speaker(s)

Input signal not connected

Check high or low level inputs for proper 

connection

Unit blows fuse(s)

Incorrect fuse rating

Use fuse(s) with correct rating

+12V wire touching chassis ground

Check for pinched wire

Speaker(s) defective or damaged

Check/replace speaker(s)

Engine noise

Bad ground connection

Make sure amplifier is grounded to clean 

bare metal

Signal ground loop or RFI (radio frequency 
interference)

Re-route RCA cables from existing high 
current wiring

LED illuminates red

(protect mode)

One or more speaker wires touching each 

other or touching chassis ground

Insulate all bare speaker wires from each 

other and chassis ground

Speaker(s) defective or
damaged internally (shorted)

Check/replace speaker(s)

Speaker load less than 2 ohms (stereo)
Speaker load less than 4 ohms (bridged)

Adjust speaker load - amplifier will not 
operate at less than 4 ohms when bridged

Distorted audio output

Incorrect input signal type or
input level too high

Check connections and reduce/adjust input 
level

Low audio output

Incorrect input signal type or
input level too low

Check connections and increase/adjust 
input level

Weak bass

Speaker(s) are wired out of phase

Check (+) and (-) speaker connections
(Observe correct polarity)
