up
Turn down volume on your head unit to prevent overdriving.
Reset the subwoofer by turning it off and on again. If the protection still
lights up, the subwoofer is faulty and needs servicing.

If using low-level input connection, check the RCA cables are correctly and
securely plugged.
If using high-level input connection, check connection with the speaker wires
of your head unit.

Hissing sound Disconnect audio inputs (e.g. RCA cables) from the subwoofer and power
on the subwoofer to nd out the faulty/noisy component.

set the input gain level of the subwoofer as low as possible.

head unit. Always try to set the input gain level as low as possible.
Check that the frequency pass lter is set correctly.
