Polk Audio manual Specifications, Amplifier PA D5000.5

Troubleshooting Tips

Symptom	Probable Cause	Action To Take
	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	Readjust gain.. Refer to the Adjusting the Sound
	too high exceeding maximum	of the System section of this manual..
	capability of amplifier..
	Impedance load to amplifier too low..	Check speaker impedance load, if below (2 Ohm,
		4 Ohm bridged; 1 Ohm sub) rewire the speakers
		to achieve higher impedance..
	Shorted speaker wires..	Check speaker wires and repair or replace as needed..
	Speaker not connected	Check speaker wires and repair or replace as needed..
	to amplifier properly..
	Internal crossover not	Readjust crossovers.. Refer to the Line Level
	set properly for speakers..	Inputs/Controls section of this manual..
	Speakers are blown..	Check system with known working speakers
		and fix or replace as needed..
Poor bass response
	Speakers wired with wrong polarity	Check speaker polarity and fix as needed..
	causing cancellation at low frequencies..
	Crossover set incorrectly..	Reset crossovers.. Refer to the Line Level Inputs/Controls
		section of this manual..
	Impedance load at amplifier is too low..	Check speaker impedance load, if below (2 Ohm,
		4 Ohm bridged; 1 Ohm sub) rewire the 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,
		4 Ohm bridged; 1 Ohm sub) rewire the speakers
		to achieve higher impedance..
Amplifier fuse blowing
	Fuse used is smaller than recommended..	Replace with proper fuse size..
	Impedance load at amplifier is too low..	Check speaker impedance load, if below (2 Ohm,
		4 Ohm bridged; 1 Ohm sub) rewire the speakers
		to achieve higher impedance..
	Speaker is blown with shorted outputs..	Check system with known working speakers
		and fix or replace as needed..
	Actual current exceeds fuse rating..	Check speaker impedance load, if below (2 Ohm,
		4 Ohm bridged; 1 Ohm sub) rewire the speakers
		to achieve higher impedance..
