Troubleshooting: 

Condition

 

Possible Cause

 

Possible Solution

 

No sound 

Low or no remote turn 
on voltage, or no remote 
turn on connection 

Check the remote turn on 
connection and the voltage at 
the amplifier and source unit 

 

Blown fuse(s) 

Check all system fuses 

 

Wiring problems 

Recheck all connections   
Check for short circuits 

 

Blown speakers 

Check speakers on another 
amplifier 

Amplifier 
shut down 

Protection circuit 
protecting against 
overheating or overload 

Check for adequate ventilation     
Check load impedance        
Check speaker wiring for short 
to the vehicle chassis                  
Reduce input level 

Distortion 

Input level not properly 
adjusted                           
Speaker damage 

Readjust amplifier input level  

Check speakers on another 
amplifier  

Poor bass 
response  

Speakers out of phase 

Recheck speaker wiring              
Reverse polarity of one speaker 

Ticking 
noise 

Radiated noise from 
spark plug wires 

Reroute amplifier input wiring  

  Install a noise filter 

Whining 
noise 

Alternator noise caused 
by poor grounding of 
amplifier, source, other 
component, battery, or 
alternator 

Check all ground connections 

Install a noise filter on the 
source unit’s power cable 

Install a coupling transformer 
in the signal path to improve 
ground isolation for the signal 
path
