Reduce the input gain/sensitivity setting. Check audio source levels. Ensure the subwoofer is not being overdriven.
Confirm the 12V power and ground connections are made to a reliable source and are properly secured. Check the vehicle's fuse for the amplifier circuit. Ensure the remote turn-on wire is connected and receiving a signal.
Adjust the gain and low-pass filter settings. Ensure the input signal is strong enough. Check for any obstructions or air leaks around the enclosure if modifying it.
Setup: Installation typically involves connecting the subwoofer to the vehicle's power, ground, and audio source. Due to the powered nature of the unit, a stable power and ground connection is crucial. Wire gauge recommendations should be followed for optimal performance and safety.
