Why does my Dual MXD340SXM Car Receiver have no power?
Your Dual Car Receiver might not be turning on because the yellow or red wire isn't connected properly, or the voltage is incorrect. Check these connections to ensure they're receiving the correct voltage (11~16VDC). Also, check if the black wire is properly connected to ground. Finally, a blown fuse could also be the reason; if so, replace it.
What to do if my Dual MXD340SXM has power but no sound?
If your Dual Car Receiver has power but isn't producing any sound, the speaker wires might not be connected correctly. Check the connections at the speakers. Also, check if any speaker wires are touching each other or the chassis ground. If they are, insulate all bare speaker wires to prevent them from touching each other or the chassis ground.
Why does my Dual MXD340SXM keep blowing fuses?
Your Dual Car Receiver might be blowing fuses due to a few reasons. The yellow or red wire could be touching the chassis ground, so check for any pinched wires.
