I turned up the volume and plugged it into my bass, but the power light won't turn on and it isn't responsive at all. Any suggestions?

Is the battery dead? I had one of these amps suddenly stop working for me after about a year of use, I think the wiring goes goes out eventually. You may want to try returning it.

The 9v battery that comes with it is in the compartment, but is sealed in plastic and not connected (they wouldn't be able to safely ship or store it otherwise). If that's not the problem, try another battery or it might just be dead.

DO NOT USE THIS AMP WITH A BASS! It will blow out the speaker. when you turn on the amp and turn the volume all the way up and start playing, the light dims and sometimes goes out completely. Hope this helped :)

Try switching speaker wires.....if still not working,it is most likely the unit itself.

Ok, be sure the headphone is in the charger correctly. On the bottom of the left earpiece, there's a opening on the bottom that has to fit in to the power strip in the holding stand. I had trouble at first until I realized that if it is correctly, a light at the base of the charger changes color. To test it; slightly lift the headphone and if the light goes out, it's correctly lined up. Again, I had the same problem until I realized I wasn't lining the opening of the headphone with the thingy on the charger that's only on one side of the bottom. Good luck.

I wired my Dual BP1204 at the fat 12V wire before it goes IN to the amp (not to the speaker wires AFTER the amp) - I just jacked in to the amp inlet and sent a small wire to the light connection at the back of the box. The lights blink with the music, and it will never be more than what the battery is putting out (it is not amplified). I hooked it up like that 6 months ago, and they are fine.

check and make sure the volume control on the side of the amp is turned up. Its underneath the plastic cap. Hope this helps out

If you've recently bought it, send it back for a refund (the whole unit). Otherwise you may have to contact Amazon. It's pretty common that this unit fails in some way. I had two arrive "dead on arrival" before finally getting one that worked.

If the power cable is ok, a red light should be on, close to the power button. When you press the power button, this light turns to blue. If the "AUDIO IN" or USB cables are working properly, it should work normally. Make sure you turn the volume up.

I actually had to email Amazon, the seller wouldn't respond. I am so glad that Amazon responded right away and actually offer to replace it. I got a quote from a music repair shop and it would have cost me about $85 to fix it. Amazon shipped it right away and I got it within a few days such a great service, didnt pay a dime. So hopefully it works out for you. Sad to say but my warranty is over :(

Check all the cables sometimes is that. Also maybe could be dust. Try other speaker with the amp if you can.Hope that helps.

Check your LOC unit and make sure its connected and setup correctly. Everything on your amp should not be turned up. Put the low pass to the mid point, "mode" set to low pass, sensitivity might be 100mv-2v(check on the loc), and the level should be at the mid-point at most. Also make sure your subs are wired and connected correctly, for the appropriate power. You may want to Contact a local shop for further troubleshooting.

That had happened to me as well. Just unplug and try plugging it back in. Took a few tries but back up in no time. Great purchase sounds great.

Does the CD tray respond? Does it open when it is supposed to? If you move the tone arm off it's rest post does the turntable begin to turn? If so the unit is powered up. Is the source selection knob not working? I hope you have better luck than I did with the unit I bought, I was profoundly disappointed with mine. The 2-watts per channel audio output was a huge disappointment. You won't get any "thumping" bass our of this unit. It doesn't distort, but has the sound of a 50's vintage table radio.Good Luck

I plugged mine in and the sound works. I would say that yours has a defect. There is a button to push to adjust the volume of the sound. It is explained in the manual. You can check that incase it is just turned down. I doubt that this is the problem, as it is probably set at a default volume. Return for an exchange. I really like mine.

The problem I had was not lack of sound, but it won't turn on when I plug it in. There must be a short in the electrical wiring on my unit. I did have sound when I began using it -- nothing great, no Bose equipment. I'm sorry, but I think this is junk. I don't know what to do with it. I will find a place that recycles electrical appliances and give it to them. Alison

Mine also says it is 165W, but the bass is massive. I've got the dial on the back only turned up about 25%. Maybe you got a bad connector cord? Did you use the calibration microphone? Good luck!
