TROUBLESHOOTING THE SYSTEM

We have put together this troubleshooting guide if you experience problems
after installing the crossover. Please keep in mind that the majority of problems
incurred are caused by improper installation and not the equipment itself.
In addition, there are many components in the system that could cause various
signal problems such as inducted electrical noise and engine noise.
Before you can properly address the problem, you must first find the component
that is causing the problem. This will take patience and process of elimination.
