• Re-adjust the Input Level Control to better suit the input signal.

WEAK OUTPUT

• If the noise is a “whine” whose pitch follows the engine speed, confirm that the

amplifier and any other signal sources (head unit, equalizer, etc) are properly

grounded.

• If the noise is a “clicking” or “popping” noise whose rate follows the engine speed,

this usually means that the vehicle is equipped with resistor spark plugs and wires,

or that the ignition is in need of service.

• Check the routing of the speaker and input wires to make sure they are not

adjacent to wires which interconnect with lights and other accessories.

• If the above steps fail to improve or clear noise interference, the system souled be

checked by a authorized RE Audio Dealer.

NOISE IN THE AUDIO

• Confirm that all terminal strip connections are secure and tight.

• Check the “BALANCE” control on the head unit (or other source) to verify that it

is set to its mid point.

• If you are using the low-level RCA input, reverse the input plugs at the amplifier

(switch the R with the L). If the channel which is silent switches to the other side,

the problem is either in the head unit/other source or the connecting cables.

ONLY ONE CHANNEL WORKS

• Confirm that all terminal strip connections are secure and tight.

• Check both in-line and built-in fuses.

• Confirm that the audio signal source (car radio, equalizer, etc) is connected and is

supplying output signal. To check if the amplifier is supplying signal, unplug the

RCA cables from the signal source (but leave them plugged into the amp) and

briefly tap the center pin of each of the disconnected RCA plugs with your finger.

is should produce a noise (feedback) in your speakers.

NO OUTPUT

Before removing your amplifier, refer to the list below and
follow the suggested procedures. Always test the speakers
and their wires first.
