  Gavin PattersonAug 17, 2025
  To troubleshoot a Ssl Car Amplifier that won't power up: * Ensure you have a solid ground connection. * Verify the Remote Input (Turn-On) receives at least 3VDC. * Confirm battery power is reaching the (+) terminal with at least 12V. * Inspect all fuses and replace any that are faulty. * Ensure the Protection LED is off. If it's on, briefly turn off the amplifier and then turn it back on.

  If the Protection LED on your Ssl Car Amplifier lights up when powered on, it could be due to short circuits on the speaker leads. Check for these and correct them. You can also try turning down the volume control on the head unit to prevent overdriving. If that doesn't work, remove the speaker leads and reset the amplifier. If the Protection LED persists, the amplifier may be faulty and require servicing.

How to eliminate high hiss in speakers with Ssl Evolution EV4.400?
- J
  John SmithSep 7, 2025
  If you notice a high hiss in the speakers connected to your Ssl Car Amplifier, disconnect all RCA inputs to the amplifiers. If the hiss disappears, plug in the component driving the amplifier and unplug its inputs. Continue until the faulty/noisy component is found. Set the amplifier's input level control as low as possible, and try to set the head unit as high as possible (without distortion) and the amp input level as low as possible.

What causes engine noise (static type) in Ssl Car Amplifier?
- K
  Katherine FreemanSep 12, 2025
  Engine noise (static type) is usually caused by poor quality RCA cables, which can pick up radiated noise. Use only the best quality cables, and route them away from power cables.
