  Pamela HarrisAug 21, 2025
  If your Power Acoustik Car Receiver isn't turning on, there are several potential causes. First, the yellow wire might not be connected properly or may have the incorrect voltage; check the connections to ensure the voltage is between 11-16vdc. Second, the black wire might not be connected to ground; verify this connection. Third, the ACC fuse or car battery fuse might be blown; in this case, install a new fuse with the correct rating. Finally, if there was an illegal operation, try pressing the RESET button.
