Are the LED lights supposed dim in time with the music? I'm wondering if that's an indication it needs more power. Only happens when cranked.

No, it never dims on my unit. Sounds like a failing alternator. Alternators fail over time in a lot of cases, not suddenly.

Not sure, mine is in the trunk so I never have paid much attention. As small as the amp is I wouldn't think it would be running out of power unless you are running tiny power and ground wire. 8 gauge would be plenty.

I have only changed my batteries once so far,but I think the green light turned red.I could be wrong,the batteries seem to last a long time.I personally wish there was a place for a DC coard,and a place to plug in an additional speaker.With 2 powered speakers it would be a killer sound.

Hello Jeff, the LED is actually Red when the speaker is plugged into power, but not being used. Once the speaker is being used with the receiver, it turns Green. Neither are super bright, but they are lit enough to see it. I hardly notice, since it is on top of the speaker, and yes, you can put multiple books over it, or even a fake/faux plant on it, because it is pretty big and has enough room for it. I don't have anything on top of it, just because I really like a "clean" look to it, since I do not like anything cluttering things up. I hope this answers your question.

Mine lit up when took it out of box, sometimes have to push the button again. I don't know didn't notice anything, I really like mine!

Mine does the same thing, it's common with LEDs. They have very little draw and should turn off completely when the car is off.

the red light is supposed to stay on, thats fine. but the sound going off in 1 hour is not normal, I get at least 2 hours on mine. I think you got a defective unit

Also, Jeff: Even after all the electrical questions are answered, this still makes a low level hum which might be annoying. Having tightened all the external screws on mine, the hum was far less but could still be heard during the silence between musical tracks or even with very quiet passages.

Mine sounds pretty good. There is a volume control on the remote as well as on the light itself. It doesn't have much bass, but decent quality for a small built in speaker.

I can hear a slight sound on mine, along with the light going off. It seems to take several seconds to reactivate if there is constant movement.

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.

Mine is probably a dud because it has a piercing noise. It is very clear and particular and I haven't heard any other people commenting about it so mine must be the odd one. The piercing noise turns into an 11 from that scale 1-10 but this seems to be my only case.

5 secs the tubes light up. I suggest You'd better to check the power jack-plug. Is it tight enough. SK Liu

Hi Nick I'm Thomas I had no problems with the light thou I only played with it for a short while(It's a gift for someone) the easy check the bube if you know for certain that the batteries are good. also stretch the springs a bit for good measure Those are my thoughts about your device good luck.

Hey tuna, I placed a new set of batteries in, placed it on bright setting and left it on...I had to leave 2.5 hours later and I did not detect any significant degrading in light quality. I've used it at 2 hour gigs with the same results. Hope this helps.

It may be just very dim. I've noticed that the flashing LED is hardly illuminated in a lighted room. It's kind of ironic that the light is super bright but the charging LED Is very dim. Could be that you have a defective model if the power button doesn't light at all.

Well. If you're using it on battery supply you've GOT to change the batt. Often, when the battery starts going dead, the range of tonal change decreases dramatically. I was playing with mine once when the battery got real low and it only had two different sounds. Now, with a fresh battery its great. As far as "sucking tone" i would say its a mediocre problem.

My speaker doesn't indicate when the battery is running low. It also stays on forever when I charge it. But I don't experience what you are experiencing. You might want to return it for another one.
