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:
x
Check the battery voltage to make sure it is not discharged below 11 volts.
x
Check the negative battery cable to see if it has been securely tightened back on the battery.
x
Check the inline fuse located near the battery to make sure it is plugged in completely, and not
blown.
x
Check the 12Volt power-connector near the firewall to make sure it is plugged in securely.
x
Check the inline connectors near the subwoofer enclosure to make sure they are plugged securely.
x
Check the ground wire connection to make sure it is tightly secured to the proper ground in the
vehicle.
x
Check the audio input signal connection to make sure it is secure and connected to the proper
wiring.
x
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:
x
Check for a connector or any other object that could be very near the subwoofer or the enclosure.
x
Check the subwoofer enclosure mounting brackets to make sure they are secure.
There is a problem with the multi-channel stereo amplifier:
x
Check the battery voltage to make sure it is not discharged below 11 volts.
x
Check the negative battery cable to see if it has been securely tightened back on the battery.
x
Check the inline fuse located near the battery to see if it is plugged in completely and not blown.
x
Check the multi-pin connectors at the back of the radio and at the amplifier chassis to make sure
they are plugged all the way in.
x
Check the ground wire connection to make sure it is tightly secured to the proper ground in the
vehicle.
