What to do if my Dual Amplifier will not turn on?
If your Dual Amplifier is not turning on, there are several potential causes: * The +12V wire or REM wire may not be connected, or the voltage may be incorrect. Ensure connections have the proper voltage (11~16VDC). * The GND wire might not be connected. Check the connection to ground. * The fuse(s) may be blown. In this case, replace the fuse(s).
Why does my Dual XIA2340 have power but no sound?
If your Dual Amplifier has power but no sound, consider the following: 1. Speaker wires might not be connected. Check the connections at the speakers. 2. Speaker wires may be touching each other or the chassis ground. Insulate all bare speaker wires from each other and the chassis ground. 3. The input signal may not be connected. Check the high or low level inputs for proper connection.
What causes engine noise in my Dual XIA2340 Amplifier and how to fix it?
Engine noise in your Dual Amplifier can be caused by: * A bad ground connection. Make sure the amplifier is grounded to clean, bare metal. * A signal ground loop or RFI (radio frequency interference). Try re-routing the RCA cables away from existing high current wiring.
What to do if my Dual Amplifier blows fuses?
If your Dual Amplifier is blowing fuses, it could be due to: * An incorrect fuse rating. Use fuses with the correct rating. * The +12V wire touching the chassis ground. Check for a pinched wire. * Defective or damaged speakers. Check or replace the speaker(s).
Why is the LED on my Dual XIA2340 red (protect mode)?
A red LED (protect mode) on your Dual Amplifier indicates: * Speaker wires touching each other or the chassis ground. Insulate all bare speaker wires from each other and the chassis ground, then reset the amplifier. * Defective or internally shorted speakers. Check or replace the speaker(s). * A speaker load less than 2 ohms (stereo) or less than 4 ohms (bridged). Adjust the speaker load; the amplifier will not operate at less than 4 ohms when bridged.
Why is my Dual XIA2340's audio output distorted?
Distorted audio output from your Dual Amplifier can be caused by an incorrect input signal type or an input level that is too high. Check the connections and reduce or adjust the input level.
What causes low audio output in my Dual XIA2340 Amplifier?
Low audio output from your Dual Amplifier may be due to an incorrect input signal type or a low input level. Check the connections and increase or adjust the input level.
Why is there no illuminite output (no lights) on my Dual XIA2340?
If there's no illuminite output (no lights) on your Dual Amplifier, the possible causes are: * A blown fuse or the illuminite output (+12VDC) wire touching the chassis ground. Check or replace the fuse. * The illuminite (+) or (-) wires are not connected. Check the connections at the speakers. * Incorrectly wired illuminite connections (reverse polarity). Reverse the (+) and (-) connections, observing correct polarity. * Defective or damaged illuminite speaker(s). Check or replace the speaker(s).
