APX200.2M Power System Amplifier

Problem

Distorted audio.

Solution

Gain is not set properly, or damaged speaker cones. Review Setting Gain; inspect each speaker cone for signs of damage (i.e. frozen cone, burning smell, etc.)

Problem

Audio lacks punch.

Solution

Speakers wired incorrectly, which causes cancellation of bass frequencies. Check polarity of wires from amplifier to each speaker as defined by the system design.

Problem

Amplifier fuse keeps blowing.

Solution

Incorrect wiring or short circuit. Review Installation and check all wiring connections.

Problem

Whining or ticking noise in the audio with engine on.

Solution

Amplifier is picking up alternator noise or radiated noise. Turn down input gain; move audio cables away from power wires. Check power and ground connections on amplifier; install an in-line noise filter on source unit's power wire; check alternator and/or voltage regulator; test for weak battery or add water to battery.
