Troubleshooting the Kicker Integrated Systems

If you experience a problem once the Subwoofer is installed, use this guide to locate the trouble.

The radio is working, but the Subwoofer is not working:

•  Check the battery voltage to make sure it is not discharged below 11 volts.
•  Check the negative battery cable to see if it has been securely tightened back on the battery.
•  Check the inline fuse located near the battery to make sure it is plugged in completely, and not blown.
•  Check the 12Volt power-connector near the fi rewall to make sure it is plugged in securely.
•  Check the inline connectors near the subwoofer enclosure to make sure they are plugged securely.
•  Check the ground wire connection to make sure it is tightly secured to the proper ground in the vehicle.
•  Check the audio input signal connection to make sure it is secure and connected to the proper wiring.
•  Test with different music in case there is no low frequency audio in the initial sound check.

There is a buzz or rattle noise that accompanies the low frequency element of the music:

•  Check for a connector or any other object that could be very near the enclosure.
•  Check the subwoofer enclosure mounting brackets to make sure they are secure.

There is a problem with the multi-channel stereo amplifi er:

•  Check the battery voltage to make sure it is not discharged below 11 volts.
•  Check the negative battery cable to see if it has been securely tightened back on the battery.
•  Check the inline fuse located near the battery to see if it is plugged in completely and not blown.
•  Check the multi-pin connecters at the back of the radio and at the amplifi er chassis to make sure they 
are plugged all the way in.
•  Check the ground wire connection to make sure it is tightly secured to the proper ground in the vehicle.
