Troubleshooting
NOTE: If you are having problems aer installation follow the
Troubleshooting procedures below.
Check Amplifier for proper connections. Verify that POWER light is
on. If POWER light is on skip to Step 3, if not continue.
1. Check in-line fuse on battery positive cable. Replace if necessary.
2. Check fuse(s) on amplifier. Replace if necessary.
3. Verify that Ground connection is connected to clean metal on the
vehicle’s chassis. Repair/replace if necessary.
4. Verify there is 9 to 16 Volts present at the positive battery and
remote turn-on cable. Verify quality connections for both cables
at amplifier, stereo, and battery/fuse holder. Repair/replace if
necessary.
5. Make sure the Auto Turn ON Switch is in the correct position. If in
the OFF position, make sure your have the REM wire connected.
See Step 4 for additional testing.
Protect light is on.
1. If the Protect light is on, this is a sign of a possible short in the
speaker connections. Check for proper speaker connections and
use a volt/ohm meter to check for possible shorts in the speaker
wiring. Too low of a speaker impedance may also cause Protect
to light.
Check Amplifier for audio output.
1. Verify good RCA input connections at stereo and amplifier. Check
entire length of cables for kinks, splices, etc. Test RCA inputs for
AC volts with stereo on. Repair/replace if necessary.
2. Disconnect RCA input from amplifier. Connect RCA input from
test stereo directly to amplifier input.
Check Amplifier if you experience Turn-on Pop.
1. Disconnect input signal to amplifier and turn amplifier on and
o.
2. If the noise is eliminated, connect the REMOTE lead of amplifier
to source unit with a delay turn-on module.
OR
1. Use a dierent 12 Volt source for REMOTE lead of amplifier.
Check Amplifier if you experience excess Engine Noise.
1. Route all signal carrying wires (RCA, Speaker cables) away from
power and ground wires.
OR
1. Bypass any and all electrical components between the stereo
and the amplifier(s). Connect stereo directly to input of amplifier.
If noise goes away the unit being bypassed is the cause of the
noise.
OR
1. Remove existing ground wires for all electrical components.
Reground wires to dierent locations. Verify that grounding
location is clean, shiny metal free of paint, rust etc.
OR
1. Add secondary ground cable from negative battery terminal to
the chassis metal or engine block of vehicle.
OR
1. Have alternator and battery load tested by your mechanic.
Verify good working order of vehicle electrical system including
distributor, spark plugs, spark plug wires, voltage regulator etc.
