Before removing
your
amplifier,
refer
to the
list
belowand follow the
suggested procedures.Always test
the
speakers and
their
wires first.
AMPLIFIER
WILL
NOTPOWERUP.
Check
for
good ground connection.
Check
that
remote DC terminal has
at
least
1
OV
DC.
Check
that
there
is
battery
power
on
the+
terminal.
Checkall FUSES.
Check
that
Protection LED is
not
lit.lf
it
is lit,
shut
off
amplifier
briefly and then repower it.
HIGH HISS
OR
ENGINE NOISE(ALTERNATORWHINE) IN
SPEAKERS.
Disconnectall RCAinputs to the amplifier,
if
hiss/noise disappears ,then
plug in the component driving
the
amplifier
and unplug its
inputs.
If
hiss/
noisedisappears, go on until
the
faulty/noisy component is found.
Itis best to
set
the
amplifier
input level as insensitive
as
possible.The best
subjective S/N ratio
is
obtainable this
way.
Try to
drive
as high a signal level
from
the
head unit as possible.
PROTECTION LED COMES
ON
WHEN THE
AMPLIFIER
IS POWERED
UP.
Check
for
shorts
on
speaker
leads.
Check
that
volume control
on
the head
unit
is turned down low.
Remove speakerleads ,and reset the amplifier.
If
the Protection LED still comes on ,
then the
amplifier
is faulty.
The
amplifier
will
shut
down automaticallywhen the units· temperature goes up
to
85°C
This will protectthe unitsfrom damage.
AMPLIFIER'S
GETS
VERY HOT.
Check
that
the minimum
speaker
impedance
for
that
model
is
correct.
Checkforspeakershorts.
Check
that
there
is
good
airflow
around the amplifier.
In
some applications,
an external cooling fan may be required.
DISTORTED SOUND.
Check
that
the Level
control's
is setto match the signal level
of
the
head unit.
Check
that
all crossoverfrequencies have been properly
set.
Check
for
shorts
on the speaker leads.
HIGH
SQUEAL
NOISE FROM
SPEAKERS.
This
is
always caused by a poorly grounded RCApatch cord.
