NO POWER/SOUND
Check the speakers to make sure they’re not damaged. If your speakers don’t get
any power, the most common issue is either in the wiring or in the amplifier. Use a
multimeter to measure the amplifier’s voltage on the +12V terminal and the remote
signal terminal. Use a multimeter to make sure that you have a negative ground
connection. Check the built-in fuse (if there’s one) on the amplifier. If there’s no
power coming through - control the fuse on the power cable. If it’s intact - make a
full check of the wiring to ensure cable integrity.
Check all the speakers connected to your sound system. Check all the speaker
cables and all the signal cables. Check your head unit to make sure no settings are
limiting the amplifier’s functions or the speakers. When all of the above has been
tested/looked over, and all is as it should be but there’s still no sound, consult your
local GAS AUDIO POWER dealer/installer.
UNWANTED NOISE
Start by looking over the speakers in the sound system so there is no damage or
connection issue with the wiring. Make sure that your signal cables or speaker
cables aren’t too close to the power cables. Check your amplifier’s grounding point
and make sure that the surface is clean. When all of the above has been tested
/looked over, and the unwanted noise does not vanish, consult your local GAS
AUDIO POWER dealer/installer.
DISTORTION
Start by looking over the speakers in the sound system so there’s no damage or
connection issue with the wiring. Check the speaker cables to make sure that the
polarity isn’t reversed on one channel. Check the settings on the amplifier, make
sure that the gain/level is set according to the amplifier’s instructions. If your
amplifier has a boost function, lower its effect or turn it off.
