to Power, page 9

)

• Check the power wiring connections to the power terminal block and make sure they 

are securely connected using the terminal screws.

• Check the connection between the power terminal block and the amplifier, and make 

sure it is seated securely in the port.

• Check the power-wiring connections to the fuse or circuit breaker and to the battery 

and repair or tighten any disconnected or loose wires.

• Check the circuit breaker and reset it if necessary.
• Make sure the supply voltage is within the specified operational range for the amplifier.
• Make sure you are using the appropriate gauge for the length of the power cable run, 

and replace the cable with a thicker gauge, if needed.

Remote turn-on 
wire connection 
issue

• Check the remote turn-on wire connection to the power terminal block and make sure it 

is securely connected using the terminal screws.

• Check the remote turn-on wire connection to the stereo and repair or tighten a discon­

nected or loose wire.

• Make sure that the stereo and the amplifier are connected to a common power ground.
• If you connected the remote turn-on wire to a switch instead of the stereo, make sure 

the switch is installed correctly.

LED is Green and There is No Sound

Potential Cause Potential Resolution

Power or 
volume issue

• Make sure the stereo is powered on.
• Make sure the volume is not set too low or muted.

DSP settings 
issue

Check the DSP settings in the Fusion-Link app and make sure the correct speakers, stereo, 
and amplifier are selected.
NOTE: You must select the option in the app to send the DSP settings to the devices after 
you configure the settings.

Signal or 
speaker connec­
tion issue

• Check the RCA cable connections to the stereo and the amplifier, and re-connect all 

disconnected cables, if needed.

• Check the speaker wiring connections to the speaker terminal blocks and make sure they 

are securely connected using the terminal screws. Reconnect or tighten the wires, if 
needed.

• Check the connection between the speaker terminal blocks and the amplifier, and make 

sure they are seated securely in the ports
