LED Power Indicator Bar Colors

The single LED power indicator bar on the front of the amplifier changes colors to indicate status and potential 
faults. You can use these tables to reference the LED colors when troubleshooting the amplifier.

Power connection 
issue (

Connecting 

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

• Check the wire gauge used to connect the speakers to the amplifier, and make sure it is 

appropriate for the length of the wire run (

Speaker Wire Gauge Guide, page 13
