Installation Information
Memphis Audio recommends the installation of our products to be performed by an Authorized
dealer.
Attempting an installation project on your
own or through an unauthorized source may result in damage to your products and may potentially void your warranty.
Amplifiers are generally mounted in the hatch/trunk area of your car or SUV or behind the seat of most pick up
trucks.
Select a location that
provides adequate
ventilation.
Amplifier should be secured using the
screws
provided.
Warning
For your safety, always inspect the mounting location carefully to ensure you are not drilling into any
electrical,
hydraulic, fuel or fluid
lines.
Always check your speaker load with a multi-meter before connecting the
amplifier.
Connecting any speaker load lower than the
rated
impedance
of the amplifier will result in damage
to
the amplifier. Damage of this nature is NDT covered under
warranty.
Please pay close attention to what
connections are made to the
amplifier.
If you are uncertain or uncomfortable proceeding with your
installation,
please contact your
local
authorized Memphis Audio Dealer
Troubleshooting
When troubleshooting your amp, speaker and speaker wires should be tested first
No Output:
• Confirm all wiring is firmly
connected.
Both
+12V
and REM
terminals
must have +12 Volts present and GND must be connected to
chassis'
ground
or to the negative battery terminal.
•
Confirm the signal source
is
connected and
supplying
an output signal. To confirm the
amp
is working, connect an RCA patch cord to the line
inputs of the amplifier
(do
not
connect
the other end of the patch cord). Briefly tap the center pin of each disconnected RCA with your
finger.
This should produce a noise (brief static or hum)
in
the
speakers.
• If the amp
is
hot,
check the speaker
impedance
or load. The total minimum impedance of
all
speakers
should
not be lower than the
rating
of the
amp.
Only One Channel Works:
• Confirm the speaker terminal strip connections are firmly
connected.
•
Check
"balance"
control on your signal
source.
•
If using RCA low-level inputs, reverse the input plugs at the
amplifier.
If
the
channel
that is
silent
reverses
position,
the problem is in the source unit or
connecting
cable.
Weak Output
• Check input sensitivity
control
adjustment.
Unwanted Noise
• Whine that increases and decreases
with
engine
speed -confirm
the Amp 6 Source unit are grounded
properly.
• Clicking or popping noise at a rate that follows engine speed
·
this is often induced by the vehicles ignition
system.
Confirm
that
the vehicle
is
equipped with
resistor
spark plugs and wires. The ignition system may need
service.
• Noise can be caused by routing speaker
input
wires too
close
to the light wires and other
accessory wires in
the vehicle. Re-route wires to
avoid unwanted
interference.
· If above steps do not improve/reduce
noise,
the system should be
checked
by
a
professional
audio installer at
a Memphis Authorized
Dealer.
Red LED is Illuminated
•
Speaker or wire
is
shorted
• Battery voltage too low
• Battery voltage
too
high
• Amplifier has overheated due to improper ventilation
