Loose or poor audio input Check line level connections and repair
or replace as needed.
Loose power connections Check power wires and ground connections
and repair or replace as needed.
Distorted output
Amplifier level sensitivity set
too high exceeding maximum
capability of amplifier Readjust gain. Refer to the Adjusting the Sound of the
System section of this manual for detailed instructions.
Impedance load to amplifier too low Check speaker impedance load, if below 2 Ohm,
rewire the speakers to achieve higher impedance.
Shorted speaker wires Check speaker wires and repair or replace as needed.
Speaker not connected
to amplifier properly. Check speaker wires and repair or replace as needed.
Refer to the Amplifier Settings section of this manual
for detailed instructions
Internal crossover not
set properly for speakers Readjust crossovers. Refer to the Amplifier Settings
section of this manual for detailed instructions.
Speakers are blown Check system with known working speakers
and fix or replace as needed.
Poor bass response
Speakers wired with wrong polarity
causing cancellation at low frequencies. Check speaker polarity and fix as needed.
Poor bass response
Crossover set incorrectly Reset crossovers. Refer to the Amplifier Settings
section of this manual for detailed instructions.
Impedance load at amplifier is too low. Check speaker impedance load if below 2 Ohm,
rewire speakers to achieve higher impedance.
Battery fuse blowing
Short in power wire or incorrect wiring. Check power wires and ground connections
and repair or replace as needed.
Fuse used is smaller than recommended. Replace with proper fuse size.
Actual current exceeds fuse rating. Check speaker impedance load if below 2 Ohm,
rewire speakers to achieve higher impedance.
