Normal Operation
The subwoofer speaker is powered by a subwoofer amplifier. Circuit 174 (GY/BK) carries out 2 functions: to turn on the subwoofer amplifier, and to indicate to the audio unit when the subwoofer output distortion signal reaches a damaging level. The audio unit then reduces the audio output signal to the subwoofer amplifier. The subwoofer amplifier receives power on circuit 720 (RD/YE), and ground on circuit 694 (BK/LG).

Possible Causes
- Fuse
- Circuit 720 (RD/YE) open
- Circuit 169 (LG/BK) open or short to ground
- Circuit 172 (LB/RD) open or short to ground
- Circuit 174 (GY/BK) open or short to ground
