INSTRLLATION 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. Avoid mounting the amplifier with fins facing down.
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 NOT 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
