TROUBLESHOOTING
If the amplier does not appear to be working, check
for blown fuses, poor or incorrect wiring connections
and incorrect settings.
NO SOUND? 1) Source unit volume is turned down
or muted: Turn volume up slowly or turn mute off.
2) Low or no remote turn-on voltage: Check remote
connections at the amplier and source unit. check
with your DMM to make sure there is 12V to the
REM wire. 3) Blown Fuse on the Amplier: Replace
with new fast-blow fuse (same rating). 4) Power
wires not connected: Check battery connections,
Check grounding wire at amplier, Use your DMM
and check your voltage at the amplier. 5) Speaker
leads shorted: Check speaker continuity using your
DMM to ground (it should show no common ground).
6) Speakers not connected or blown: Check speaker
connections at amplier and at speakers, Disconnect
speakers at amplier and measure coil impedance
with DMM.
DISTORTED AUDIO? 1) Gain may not be properly
set: Review section (Calibration) for setting the Gain
properly. 2) Speaker may be damaged: Inspect each
speaker cone for signs of damage (frozen cone,
burned smell, separated or ripped surround or
spider).
REDUCED BASS? 1) Speakers may be wired in
reverse polarity: Reverse a speaker connection from
positive to negative on the stereo or speaker.
Setting Bass Boost
1. Turn the gain and bass control all the way
down (counterclockwise).
2. Turn the vehicle on, and make sure the source
unit is turned on.
3. Insert a CD/DVD with undistorted music.
4. Start to increase the volume at the source unit
until you hear distortion (aproximately at 90%).
5. Turn the volume down at the source unit until
the distortion goes away.
6. At the amplier, slowly turn the Bass Boost
control up (clockwise) until you hear a slight
distortion from the speakers.
7. Turn the Bass Boost control back down until
the distortion goes away.
8. When the Bass Boost control is properly set,
you should be able to achieve the maximum
undistorted output with the volume turned all
the way up.
Warning!
Do not set or increase the amplier’s gain when setting
the Bass Boost control. Increasing the gain even slightly
will cause the amplier to heat up and amplier failure
could occur.
