• Re-adjust the Input Level Control to better suit the input signal.

If the noise is a “whine” whose pitch follows the engine speed, confirm
that the amplifier and any other signal sources (head unit, equalizer, etc)
are properly grounded.
If the noise is a “clicking” or “popping” noise whose rate follows the
engine speed, this usually means that the vehicle is equipped with resis-
tor spark plugs and wires, or that the ignition is in need of service.
Check the routing of the speaker and input wires to make sure they are
not adjacent to wires which interconnect with lights and other accesso-
ries.
If the above steps fail to improve or clear noise interference, the system
should be checked by a authorized RE Audio Dealer.

Confirm that all terminal strip connections are secure and tight.
Check the “BALANCE” control on the head unit (or other source) to verify
that it is set to its mid point.
If you are using the low-level RCA input, reverse the input plugs at the
amplifier (switch the R with the L). If the channel which is silent switches
to the other side, the problem is either in the head unit/other source or
the connecting cables.
Only one channel works
Confirm that all terminal strip connections are secure and tight.
Check both in-line and built-in fuses.
Confirm that the audio signal source (car radio, equalizer, etc) is
connected and is supplying output signal. To check if the amplifier is
supplying signal, unplug the RCA cables from the signal source (but
leave them plugged into the amp) and briefly tap the center pin of each
of the disconnected RCA plugs with your finger. This should produce a
noise (feedback) in your speakers.
