Trouble Shooting

￿Alternator noise (whining sound that varies with engine RPM):

￿Check for damaged RCA cable. ￿Check routing of RCA cable. ￿Check source unit for good ground.

￿Check gain setting, turn down if set too high.

￿Poor stereo image or reduced bass response:

￿Check system phasing by turning the balance control from left to right. If there is more bass output when turned to either side then check your speaker wiring for proper positive and negative connections. reverse connections on one channel if necessary.

CAUTION: When jump starting the vehicle, be sure that connections made with jumper cables are correct. Improper connections can result in blown amplifier fuses as well as failure in other systems in the vehicle.

Please Note: Modern high performance speakers have a lower DC Resistance than what used to be available. The Kicker Coaxial and Component Speakers are rated at four ohms (some DC Resistances may be as low as 3 ohms) and work with any amplifier designed to operate at a four ohm load. If you want to use two Kicker Coaxial or Component Speakers on a single channel of your amplifier wire the speakers in series. This will improve the sound quality, lower the total harmonic distortion and lessen the thermal load at the amplifier. This may prevent an amplifier from shutting down, due to over-current protection circuitry.
