Troubleshooting                                                                                                                   

If  you  experience  operation  or  performance  problems  with  this  product,  compare 
your  installation  with  the  electrical  wiring  diagrams  on  the  previous  pages.  If 

problems persist, read the following troubleshooting guide which may help. 

If you have any further questions, please give our Tech Department a call.   

Amplifier will not

 

power up

 

Check to make sure you have a good ground connection 

Check that the remote input (turn-on) has at least 9VDC 

Check that there is battery power on the (+)terminal 

Check that there is at least 12v 

Check all fuses, replace if necessary   

Make sure that the protection led is not illuminated.   

If it is lit, 

Shut off the amplifier briefly, and then power it ON again

 

Protection LED

 

comes on when

 

Amplifier is   

powered up 

 

Turn down the volume control on the head until to prevent overdriving. 
If it remains on, please contact our Tech Dept.   

 

No output

 

Check that all fuses are ok 

Check that unit is properly grounded. 

Check that the remote input (turn-on)has at least 9VDC 

Check that the RCA audio cables are plugged into the proper   

Inputs. 

Check all speaker wiring.

 

Low output

 

Reset the level control 
Check the crossover control settings. 

High hiss in the

 

sound

 

Disconnect all RCA inputs to the power sub’s control panel. If the hiss disappears, 

then plug in the component  driving  the amplifier and unplug its  inputs. If the hiss 

disappears at this point ,go on 

Until the faulty/noisy component is found. 

It is best to set the amplifier’s input level control as low as 

Possible 

Squealing noise   

is present 

 

Check all cables   
 

Distorted sound

 

Check that the input level control is set to match the signal level of the source unit. 

Always try to set the input level as low as possible. 

Check that all crossover frequencies are properly set. 
Check for broken or damaged cable insulation on the speaker leads. 

Amplifier gets

 

very hot

 

Check that there is good air circulation around the amp. 
Adjust the input gain to properly match the source unit 

Engine noise   

 

 

This is usually caused by poor quality RCA cables, which can pick up radiated noise. 

Use only the best quality cables, and route them away from any power cables. 

 

 

Engine noise

 

(alternator   
whine) 

 

Check that the RCA grounds are not shorted to the vehicle chassis. 
Check that the source unit is properly grounded. 
Check the ground connection is clean and any paint is scraped away.
