Problem:

Midrange speakers “pop” with loud passages.

Solution:

High-Pass Frequency Control is set too low.

Gain Controls on amplifiers are set incorrectly. Reduce the gain setting on high
frequency amplifier.

Problem:

One channel does not operate.

Solution:

Swap left and right connections at the source unit.  If the problem trades sides
in the vehicle, then the source unit is the defective.  If the problem stays on the
same side, proceed on.

Swap left and right connections at the input to the crossover.  If the problem
trades sides in the vehicle, then the wiring is defective between the source unit
and the crossover.  If the problem stays on the same side, proceed on.

Swap the left and right High-Pass RCAs at the output of the crossover.  If the
problem trades sides in the vehicle, then the crossover is defective.   If the
problem stays on the same side, proceed on.

Swap the left and right High-Pass RCAs at the amplifier input.  If the problem
trades sides in the vehicle, then the RCA cable is defective.  If the problem
stays on the same side, proceed on.

Swap the left and right speaker connections at the output of the High-Pass
amplifier.  If the problem trades sides in the vehicle, then the amplifier is
defective.  If the problem stays on the same side, then the speaker or speaker
wiring is defective.

Problem:

Green power indicator LED not on, there is no sound.

Solution:

Check the CONSTANT and REMOTE (Switched) wiring connections.

Check the GROUND wiring for good connections.
