If your Jensen Amplifier won't turn on and the power LED isn't lit, it could be due to a few reasons. First, the +12V wire or REM wire might not be connected properly or have the correct voltage (should be between 11 and 16VDC), so check those connections. Also, ensure the GND wire is securely connected to ground. Finally, check the fuse(s) and replace them if they're blown.
What does it mean when the LED on my Jensen JA is red?
If the LED on your Jensen Amplifier is red, indicating protect mode, it could be due to a few reasons. Check that none of the speaker wires are touching each other or the chassis ground; if they are, insulate them. Also, inspect the speakers for internal defects or shorts and replace them if necessary. If you're running in bridged mode, make sure the speaker load isn't less than 4 ohms; adjust the speaker load accordingly, as the amplifier won't operate below this impedance when bridged. For stereo, ensure the speaker load is not less than 2 ohms.
What to do if my Jensen Amplifier has power but no sound?
If your Jensen Amplifier has power (green LED is on) but you're not getting any sound, here's what to check: * Make sure the speaker wires are properly connected at the speakers. * Increase the volume level at the head unit, as it might be turned all the way down. * Ensure that bare speaker wires are insulated from each other and the chassis ground. * Check the speakers themselves for any defects or damage, and replace if necessary. * Verify that the input signal is properly connected, checking both high and low-level inputs.
Why does my Jensen JA Amplifier keep blowing fuses?
If your Jensen Amplifier keeps blowing fuses, there are a few potential causes. First, ensure you are using fuses with the correct rating. An incorrect rating can cause them to blow prematurely. Next, inspect the +12V wire to make sure it is not touching the chassis ground, as a pinched wire could cause this. Lastly, check the speakers for defects or damage, as faulty speakers can also cause fuses to blow.
How to eliminate engine noise from my Jensen Amplifier?
If you're hearing engine noise through your Jensen Amplifier, it could be due to a bad ground connection. Make sure the amplifier is grounded to clean, bare metal. Another potential cause is a signal ground loop or radio frequency interference (RFI). Try re-routing the RCA cables away from existing high-current wiring.
Why is the audio distorted on my Jensen JA?
If you're experiencing distorted audio output from your Jensen Amplifier, it might be due to an incorrect input signal type or an input level that's too high. Check your connections and reduce or adjust the input level.
What to do if my Jensen Amplifier has low audio output?
If you're experiencing low audio output from your Jensen Amplifier, the issue might stem from an incorrect input signal type or an input level that's too low. Check the connections and increase or adjust the input level accordingly.
