Symptom Diagnosis Remedy
Check connections, run the
RCA cables on a different
route away from sources of
high voltage.
Check connections, bypass
additional components
(crossovers and equalizers)
between the source unit
and the amplifier. Connect
one component at a time
to determine the culprit.
Repair or replace compo-
nents as necessary.
Disconnect existing speak-
ers and connect a test
speaker to the output ter-
minals of the amplifier. If
noise is gone, reroute the
speaker cables away from
sources of high voltage.
Check ground connections
and connect amplifiers, sig-
nal processors, and other
components to a central
location or try a different
grounding point on the
chassis.
Check connections, dis-
connect antenna from
source unit. If noise is gone,
install an antenna ground
loop isolator.
• If noise persists, see your Authorized Rockford Fosgate Dealer.
