TROUBLESHOOTING
Before removing
your
amplifier,refer to the list belowand follow
the
suggested procedures.
Always
test
the
speakers and
their
wiresfirst.
AMPLIFIER
WILL
NOT POWER
UP.
Check
for
good ground connection.
Check
that
remote DCterminal has
at
least 1
OV
DC.
Check
that
there is battery poweron
the+
terminal.
Check all 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.
Disconnect all RCAinputs
to
the amplifier,
if
hiss/noise disappears ,then
plug in the
component
driving the
amplifier
and unplug its
inputs.
If
hiss/
noise disappears,
go
on until the
faulty/noisy
component
is found.
It
is
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 unitas possible.
PROTECTION
LED
COMES ONWHEN THE
AMPLIFIER
IS
POWERED UP.
Check
for
shorts on speaker leads.
Check
that
volume control on the head
unit
isturned down low.
Remove speaker leads ,and reset
the
amplifier.
If
the
Protection LED still comes
on,
then the
amplifier
isfaulty.
The
amplifier
will
shut
down automaticallywhen the units· temperature
goes
up
to
85"C
This will protect the unitsfrom damage.
AMPLIFIER'S
GETS VERY HOT.
Check
that
the
minimum
speaker
impedance
for
that
model is correct.
Check
for
speaker
shorts.
Check
that
there
isgood
airflow
around the amplifier.In some applications,
an external cooling fan may be required.
DISTORTEDSOUND.
Check
that
the
Level
control's
is
set
to 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
isalways caused
by
a
poorly
grounded RCApatch cord.
WARNINGI

Over
high volume
will
damage
your
speakers.
2. Be cautious when you use the

near
gasoline tankand
electric
wires.
3.
Protect
the connecting wires and parts to avoid
any
damage
or
short
circuit.
4. The power
must
belee from the anode
of
the battery
via
FUSE.
5. The sound system
must
be in
turning-off
situation when you check
the
amplifier.
6. Be sure that you use the same type
of
FUSEwhen you need
to
replace
