7. Amplifier shutting off and LED flashing off and on:
This is an indication of low or
high voltage at the +BATT or the remote portion of the amp. Test the +BATT and the remote
portion of the amp with a digital multi-meter. If the voltage at either of these terminals is
above 15volts or below 11volts, consult an automotive electrical specialist. If voltage is
consistently below 11volts, adding a one-farad stiffening capacitor will solve the problem.
8. Whining noise that increases with acceleration:
This is what is known as a
ground loop. To verify if the noise is being generated by a bad ground or the RCA cables,
remove the RCA cables from the amp (make sure they are shielded from touching the chassis)
and turn the system back on. If the noise persists, then the problem is ground related. If the
noise stops, then it is being radiated into the amp via the RCA cables. If the noise is being
radiated by the RCA cables, simply re-route the cables away from power
cables–specifically the +BATT cable that is connected to the battery. If whining noise is
ground related then confirm that all ground cables are secure in the vehicle and free of
corrosion. Please see power and ground portion of this manual for correct system grounding
instructions.
