Power Acoustik LT-980/2 Car Audio Amplifier - Page 3 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Be prepared, I'm going to ask a stupid question :).....

Have you tried removing both the +12V and Remote wires from the amp for a few minutes/hours and then reconnecting? It's possible the amp just needs a little "reset time" before working.

Disconnect all speaker wires from the speaker terminals of the amp. If it powers up and doesn't go into protect when you increase the settings, the wiring needs to be checked. If it still shuts down, the amp may need to be repaired.

Does it shut down or make loud noises when you move the RCA cables where they plug into the amplifier?

Try removing the remote turn-on wire from the terminal on your amp. If that shuts it off then you can use either the remote turn-on output from your head unit, or any fuse at your fusebox that only comes on with the car on.
If that doesn't shut it off the amp has an internal short and should be replaced or you could put an easily accessible fuse in its power wire and pull that when you wanted to shut it off.

Sisnce you didn't mention the protection LED, I'll assume it's not on.

You need to measure the voltage across the B+ and ground terminals of the amplifier to confirm that the voltage at the terminals is least 11 volts. Also check the voltage on the remote turn-on terminal. Place the black meter lead on the ground terminal of the amp and set the meter to DC volts.

You need to order extra components in order to use the optional GPS function.. you can try checking circuit city or the Authorized Acoustik Suppliers for the products like the websites or you can check Ebay as someone might have the product

I don't understand your technical issue.

Disconnect all of the speaker wires and signal cables from the amplifier.

 

If the amp still goes into protect when you power it up, the output transistors are likely shorted.

 

 

It sounds like the output transistors have failed. Disconnect everything from the amp except for the B+, ground and remote and turn the amp on. If it goes into protect, the amp is in need of repair. If you want to repair it yourself, email power acoustic for the schematic.

check faulty or old connections esp rca

try disconnecting every thing and reconnect later.tell me what happens

Question edited for a lot more clarity, full make model (what it is)'. Question moved from Televisions category. The warning message may have been useful! People don't realise that factory car audio is operated by and monitored by the Body Control Module (BCM) on a computer network. Your warning chimes and indicator clickers are generated by the BCM and played through the car audio system. The computer has no idea that this new device is! Take it to an auto electrician or to an Alarm / Audio installer and see if their professional bi-directional grade scan tool computer can reprogram the BCM to ignore your device. Or just put the old one back. ..

Running straight power from the battery suggests there's another option, as for instance running mains power... How could having two ground wires work, please?

That usually happens when the switch is dirty. You can flood it with electrical contact cleaner. Also make sure the speaker connections are good and the polarity is correct. https://www.google.com/search?q=power+acoustik+pd-651b+makes+popping+noises ..

Question edited for clarity. The way I read the product specs, it needs an amplifier? https://poweracoustik.com/product/pd-624b/ https://www.google.com/search?q=Power+Acoustik+PD-624B ..

1. Make sure the disc you are trying to play is compatible with the radio. The radio may not support certain formats or types of discs.
2. Check the disc for any visible damage, such as scratches or fingerprints, that may be preventing it from playing properly.
3. Check the CD player for any debris or foreign objects that may be preventing the disc from being read properly.
4. If you are using an aftermarket CD changer, make sure it is properly connected to the radio and functioning correctly.
