“How do I properly set the input sensitivity on my amplifier?”

Please  refer to Appendix A (page 14) to set the input sensitivity for 

maximum, low-distortion output.

“My amplifier doesn’t turn on.”

Check  the fuse or circuit breaker, not just visually, but with a 

continuity meter. It is possible for a fuse/circuit breaker to 

have poor internal connections that cannot be found by 

visual inspection. It is best to take a fuse out of the holder 

for testing. If no problem is found with the fuse, inspect the 

fuse-holder. 

 

Check  the integrity of the connections made to each of the 

+24VDC”,  “Ground”,  and “Remote” terminals. Ensure 

that no wire insulation is pinched by the terminal set screw 

and that each connection is tight. 

 

Check  to make sure there is +12V to +24V at the “Remote” connection 

of the amplifier. In some cases, the turn-on lead from the 

source unit is insufficient to turn on multiple devices and the 

use of a relay is required.  To test for this problem, jump the 

+24VDC” wire to the “Remote” terminal to see if the amplifier 

turns on. 

 

“I hear a repetitive ticking or popping sound coming out of the speaker(s).”

 

Check  the speaker wires for a possible short, either between 

the positive and negative leads or between either 

speaker lead and the vehicle/vessel’s electrical ground. 

If a short is present, you will experience distorted and/

or attenuated output. The “Status LED” will turn 

Amber (yellow) in this situation. It may be helpful to 

disconnect the speaker wires from the amplifier and use 

a different set of wires connected to a test speaker. 

 

Check  the nominal load impedance to verify that each channel  

of the amplifier is driving a load equal to or greater than  

2 ohms in stereo mode (4 ohms bridged). 

 

“My amplifier’s output fluctuates when I tap on it or hit a bump.”

 

Check  the connections to the amplifier. Make sure that the 

insulation for all wires has been stripped back far enough to 

allow a good contact area inside the terminal block. 

 

Check  the input connectors to ensure that they all are making good 

contact with the input jacks on the amplifier.
