Kenwood Car Audio & Video - Page 6 - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

It really depends on whether it is a Kenwood 700W stick blender or a Kenwood 700watt car audio amplifier (the category you posted to) Stick Blender, you just buy another. Car audio, you take to a Kenwood service centre after first checking the inline fuse and car fuses. 'make model (what it is)' in all questions please. https://www.google.com/search?q=kenwood+700w+has+stopped+working ..

Hi.. Same problem.. I went bought something called high and low converter, hooked it @the back of my OEM harman radio... Works properly

Your unit should have 2 plugs in the back...one for the audio and power wires to connect to your factory connections and the other plug is just RCA connections for your video, subs and front speakers. If you have a 4 channel amp and a amp for your subs, you will have to split the 4 channel amp down to 2 and run them to your front RCA connections. Subs will connect to the sub connections. If yours are not listed then you may have to track down a wiring diagram. Hope this helps.

either use a multi meter to test circuits or send out for repair

Try unplugging for about 5 minutes then plug back in

Crutchfield has a link to the PDF of the manual on the product page: https://www.crutchfield.com/S-jjS8nY8joCN/p_113KDCX397/Kenwood-Excelon-KDC-X397.html. Scroll down and look on the right hand side of the page under What's in the box. ManualsLib also have the manual here: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/557542/Kenwood-Kdc-355u.html#product-KDC-X397 . (Note: the manual covers several models. Make sure to pay attention to any specific items regarding the KDC-X397.) I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

Please try understandable grammar. Thank you

Put the kickers with the xplode 1 per channel giving each sub around 450-500 watts. Make sure you select a good ground connection, use think copper wire and both connections must be tightened enough to not move. 10 gauge is good. Run think battery pos+ cable wire from your battery to your apps install spot. Have a fusible link in between the battery and amp. Dont run your speaker wire or rca amp cable with your pos+ wire or it will pick up current causing a high pitched tone. Run remote connection to blue wire on radio harness or to the fuse box ign. Label. Make sure them kickers have a tight seal, and adequate air space. Ported boxes do hit harder but i prefer all sealed myself. Face subs to back of vehicle and roll windows down 15 percent. Good Luck. Holler Back

This is usually an indication that the power board has a bad component and the signal wont switch on. The problem is usually related to capacitors and unless you want to replace the whole power supply (if you can find it,) the repair is down to the individual components and it technical in nature requiring troubleshooting gear and soldering skill

The best is if you try making one or try to figure it out.

Here is the owners manual:

Make sure that the source is set to "Standby" when trying to access the menu. It took me about an hour to figure it out and afterward I felt like a ******.

Is the sub dual voice coil?

Hi did you ever find the answer? I'm looking to do the same

Here are some Kenwood Color Codes Hope this helps....

It could be your car wiring problem.. :)

ATT is like a mute option, hit mute or ATT button to return to normal operation.

Discussion at the internet link site below that may work. https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/car-audio/106618.html

Hello ia737,

The "protect" display is probably being caused by a shorted or grounded (touching vehicle chassis or other ground) speaker wire. Check the speaker wires for bare spots, etc and insulate or replace as necessary.

You do not need to remove the fuses to force a "cold reset" of the W-3041. You can simply press the "reset" button on the front of the unit. It's the little recessed button at the lower left of the volume control. Use the straightened end of a paper clip or ballpoint pen to momentarily hold the button in.

Hope this helps.
