  Patrick ColeAug 16, 2025
  If your Phoenix Gold Subwoofer amplifier isn't powering on, start by ensuring you have a solid ground connection and that the Remote Input (Turn-On) receives at least 5VDC. Verify battery power is present at the (+) terminal, with a minimum of 12V. Inspect all fuses and replace any that are blown. Also, check if the Protection LED is lit. If the Protection LED is glowing red, try turning the amplifier off briefly, then turn it back on.

  The Protection LED might activate due to short circuits on the speaker leads or reverse polarity. To resolve this, reduce the volume on the head unit to prevent overdriving. You can also remove the speaker leads and reset the amplifier. If the Protection LED persists, the amplifier may be faulty and require servicing.

  Brandon RoblesSep 5, 2025
  To troubleshoot a high hiss in the sound from your Phoenix Gold Subwoofer, disconnect all RCA inputs to the power sub's control panel. If the hiss disappears, plug in the component driving the amplifier and unplug its inputs. Continue this process until you identify the faulty or noisy component. Setting the amplifier's input level control as low as possible, while setting the head unit as high as possible without distortion, can also help.
