      If your Boss Audio Systems Subwoofer isn't powering on and the green LED is not lit, ensure the subwoofer is properly grounded with a clean contact point on the vehicle chassis and a secure ground connection. Check all fuses and replace any faulty ones with the same type and rating. Confirm there's at least 12V battery power. If the red LED is lit, power off the subwoofer briefly, then power it on again. If using a high-level input connection, activate the auto power-on feature by pressing the AUTO TURN-ON switch on the subwoofer.
