Why is there no sound and the power LED is not lit on my Soundstream RUBICON 1002 Amplifier?
There are several reasons why your Soundstream Amplifier might not be producing sound and the power LED is off. It could be due to a lack of power or ground at the amp, no remote turn-on signal, or a blown fuse near the battery.
What to do if my Soundstream RUBICON 1002 repeatedly blows the fuse?
If your Soundstream Amplifier is repeatedly blowing fuses, it could be due to a shorted speaker or leads. Also, ensure that the amplifier has adequate ventilation.
What to do if my Soundstream Amplifier has no sound but the power LED is lit?
If your Soundstream Amplifier's power LED is lit but there's no sound, it could be due to a lack of signal input. Another possible cause is that the AIRBASS/Accessory switch is in the “IN” position; if so, move it to the “OUT’ position.
How to stop the Left and Right “Clip” indicators from lighting on my Soundstream RUBICON 1002?
If the Left and Right “Clip” indicators are lighting up on your Soundstream Amplifier, reduce the level either at the source or at the input level controls.
Why am I getting alternator whine when using unbalanced RCA inputs on my Soundstream RUBICON 1002 Amplifier?
If you're experiencing alternator whine with unbalanced RCA inputs on your Soundstream Amplifier, first make sure the Right Input Signal Switch is in the "UNBAL" position. You can also try the Left Input Signal switch in the "BAL" and "UNBAL" position: leave the switch in the quietest setting. This will not effect the performance of the amplifier.
What to do if my Soundstream Amplifier has very little output, or the output is muffled?
If your Soundstream Amplifier has very little or muffled output, make sure that both the L.P. and the H.P. crossovers aren't engaged.
How to increase input sensitivity when using the Balanced Input on my Soundstream RUBICON 1002 Amplifier?
To increase input sensitivity when using the Balanced Input on your Soundstream Amplifier, be sure both Left and Right input signal switches are set to the "BAL" position.
