“My amplifier shuts off once in a while, usually at higher volumes.”
 Check 
 
your voltage source and grounding point. The power supply 
of the M200/2 will operate with charging system voltages 
down to 10V. Shutdown problems at higher volume levels 
can occur when the charging system voltage (or remote turn-
on voltage) momentarily drops below 10V. These dips can 
be of very short duration making them extremely difficult

voltage, inspect all wiring and termination points. It may 
also be necessary to upgrade the ground wire connecting 
the battery to the vehicle’s chassis and the power wire 
connecting the alternator to the battery. Many vessels employ 
small (10 AWG - 6 AWG) wire to ground the alternator/engine 
and to connect the alternator positive wire to the battery.  
To prevent voltage drops, these wires should  be upgraded 
to 4 AWG when installing amplifier systems with main fuse 
ratings above 60A. Grounding problems are the leading cause 
of misdiagnosed amplifier “failures.”
“My amplifier turns on, but there is no output.”

voltage from the source unit while an appropriate test tone is 
played through the source unit (disconnect the input cables 
from the amplifier prior to this test). The frequency used 
should be in the range that is to be amplified by the amplifier  
(example: 50 Hz for a sub bass application or 1 kHz for a full 
range / high-pass application).  A steady, sufficient voltage 
(between 0.1 and 4.0-volts) should be present at the output of 
the signal cables.

the output of the amplifier. Using the procedure explained in 
the previous check item (after plugging the input cables back 
into the amplifier) test for output at the speaker outputs of 
the amplifier. Remove the speaker wires from the amplifier 
while doing this to prevent unpleasant noise and possible 
speaker damage.  Turn the volume up approximately half

outputs.  This output level can vary greatly between 
amplifiers but it should not be in the millivolt range with 
the source unit at half volume. If you are reading sufficient 
voltage, check your speaker connections as explained below.
 
Check  to ensure that the speaker wires are making a good 
connection with the metal inside the terminal block.  The 
speaker wire connectors are designed to accept up to 8 AWG 
wire.  Make sure to strip the wire to allow for a sufficient 
connection with the metal inside the terminal block.
