There could be a few potential reasons why you are not getting any sound from your subs even though the green light on your Power Acoustic amp is on. Here are a few things you can check:
Check your wiring: Make sure that all of your wiring connections are secure and that there are no loose or frayed wires. Check that you have connected the amp to the correct terminals on the subs and that the speaker wires are properly connected to the amp.
Check your settings: Check the gain and crossover settings on the amp to make sure they are properly set. Ensure that the crossover is set to the correct frequency for your subs and that the gain is not turned down too low.
Check your power source: Check your battery and alternator to make sure they are providing enough power to the amp. If they are not, you may need to upgrade your electrical system or add a capacitor to your system.
Check for a blown fuse: Check the fuse on the amp to make sure it has not blown. If it has, replace it with a fuse of the same amperage.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may need to take your amp to a professional for repair or replacement.
If all you hear is clicking, then the starter's not getting enough power from the battery...
This problem could be a weak battery, faulty wiring (I've even encountered squirrels eating the wires!), but the most likely culprit is usually a weak or bad (dirty) connection between the battery clamps & battery posts. They need to be clean (both the clamps & the posts) and also need to be tight on both ends.
After servicing these, I'd recommend using an anti-corrosive product. (there are numerous methods & products)
A good solid connection may also fix your other problems.
The Amp Is Most Likely In Protection Mode... 2 Ways To Figure Out Whats Wrong With it Is Check Every Single Wire And Make Sure That Every thing Is Hooked Up Correct And There Are No Bad Connections With Ur Remote Wire, Ground Wire, And Battery 12v Wire, Rca Cables As Well. If Every Thing Checks Out Good Then Try Checking The Fuses And Make Sure u Are Using The Correct Fuses That Are Good For That Amp. If U try These 2 Things And You No Your Subs Are Hooked Up Correctly Then The Worst Is Probably There. I Had The Pioneer 7200 Amp And It was A Blown Amp And The Red Light was Constantly On. No Sound No Nothing. If U Try Those Steps And it Still Does Not Work Then Most likely Your Amplifier Is Toast. Hope This Helps :-)
Hi.. Let me try to help you if I can... I'd like you to check a few things,
1) Open battery cover on handset & make sure that the battery pack is installed correctly, and not upside down. Also make sure the little wires that come from battery pack are plugged into the tiny jacks of the phone (usualy red & black wires) in handset is fully attached & pushed snuggly into the handset... and if No wires, check to ensure the part that does connect the battery to handset is not covered with a plastic film of tape or paper as right from a manufacturer they sometimes do that to preserve length of battery until product is sold to you..
2) Check the bottom of the handset phone, that sit in the cradle of the electric part of the recharger, and make sure there is nothing like plastic or paper covering the connections between the bottom of the handset and the charger. Make sure there is a full on connection for a full charge to the handset. As with some cordelss phones Ive had the red LED light will not come on if there is something blocking a full connection for a charge.. The red LED light on base, only comes on when the electricity is flowing into the handset. The slightest tilt not allowing handset a full charge, wont give it a FULL charge.
3) You say " NEW. Out Of The Box" I hope when you connected the battery pack into the handset, and made sure it was connected right, you then allowed handset to charge at least a FULL 12 -24 hours before trying to use your new cordless phone. as the batteries right out of the box, are rarely already fully charged when any cordless phone is bought and then it does need 12 - 24 hours for a FIRST FULL CHARGE...
If you can check all 3 of these questions, and let me know how things are back on this posting, if you stilll can not solve the problem after a full charge to battery, I may have some other ideas that can help.
Have you tried replacing all of your fuses? If that does'nt work check your ground........ I would check all your connections also could be a connection shorting out causing your red light to come on.
make sure your wires arent freyed and touching itll protect if any wires touch so ur system doesnt short check all cables from deck and most of all make sure your ground connection is solid if it rattkes aroud itll fry your amp i had the same prob need n e thing else just holler
unplug the speakers and the RCA leads from the amp, if the red protection light is still lit then its 1 of your linear amps blown or mosfet depending what your amp uses..if the red light does go off with the leads all disconnected, then connect 1 lead at a time and check the light,when you connect the bad lead or speaker then the light will come on and you know that 1 needs replacing..hope this helps
Check the main amp fuse under the hood, even if it looks good just change it. Often times that light on the amp can come on just from the power amp tunon wire. Try a friends subwoofer box just to make sure the connectors on your box are good, and if that doesn't work then give me some more details....year/make/model of car, what kind of sub, what types of things do you see on the side of the amp....is there a green light as well as a red light?
