TROUBLESHOOTING

If your amplifi er does not appear to be working, check the obvious things fi rst such as blown fuses, poor or 
incorrect wiring connections, incorrect setting of crossover and gain controls, etc. There is a dual-stage PWR/
PRT LED on side panel of your powered enclosure denoting the power state of the amplifi er. When the LED is 
blue, this indicates the powered enclosure is turned on and its amplifi er is functioning properly.

PWR/PRT LED off, no output?

 With a Volt Ohm Meter (VOM) check the following:  

+12 volt power terminal 

(should read +12V to +16V)  

Remote turn-on terminal (should read +12V to +16V)  

Check for reversed 

power and ground connections.  

Ground terminal, for proper conductivity.  

Check for blown fuses. 

Check the AUTO TURN-ON switch setting. Check for a DC offset between a speaker lead and ground if using 

DC-OFFSET mode.

PWR/PRT LED blue, no output?

 Check the following: 

audio input connections  

Substitute source unit 

with a “known” good source unit.  

Check for a signal in the audio cable feeding the powered enclosure with 

the VOM meter set to measure “AC” voltage.

PWR/PRT LED red, no output?

 

Amplifi er shuts down only while vehicle is running = voltage protection 

circuitry is engaged. Voltage to the amplifi er is not within the 10–16 volt operating range. Have the vehicle’s 
charging and electrical system inspected.  

A red PWR/PRT LED may also indicate low battery voltage. Check 

all the connections in your vehicle’s charging system. It may be necessary to replace or charge your vehicle’s 
battery or replace your vehicle’s alternator.

No or low output?

 

Check the balance control on source unit  

Check the amplifi er input connections.  

Check the polarity of the input signal connections.

 

Alternator noise-whining sound with engine’s RPM?

 

Check for damaged RCA (or speaker input) cable  

Check the routing of RCA (or speaker input) cable through your vehicle—move it away from power cables.  

Check the source unit for proper grounding  

Check the gain settings and turn them down if they are set too 

high  

Check ground wire connections and make sure they are tightly connected.

Reduced bass response?

 Flip the phase switch to the opposite position; if the bass improves, your speakers 

were out of phase with the subwoofer.

Ground Noise?

  KICKER amplifi ers are engineered to be fully compatible with all manufacturers’ head units. 

Some head units may require additional grounding to prevent noise from entering the audio signal. If you are 
experiencing this problem with your head unit, in most cases running a ground wire from the RCA outputs on the 
head unit to the chassis will remedy this issue. If you still have problems, run your input signal at speaker-level 
from your source unit to the amplifi er.

CAUTION:

  When jump starting the vehicle, be sure that connections made with jumper cables are correct. 

Improper connections can result in blown amplifi er fuses as well as the failure of other critical systems in the 
vehicle.
