A34XP & A46XP
Testing
Before you finish the installation, you should perform the following tests to make sure the wiring is correct and everything is operating properly.
Reconnect Battery
When wiring is complete, reconnect the battery negative terminal.
Test Power Wiring
1.Turn on the receiver, but do not turn up the volume. The amplifier power light should come on. If not, check the REM and +12V wires.
2.Turn up the receiver volume slightly. All speakers should operate. If not, check wiring connections at amplifier and speakers.
Test Speaker Connections
These tests make sure the speakers are connected properly. If speakers don’t play at all, one (or both) speaker wires may be disconnected.
