INSTALLATION APPLICATIONS
This amplifier is designed for operation in
vehicles with 12V, negative-ground electrical
systems. Use of this product in vehicles with
positive ground and/or voltages other than 12V
may result in damage to the product and will void
the warranty.
This product is not certified or approved for
use in aircraft. Do not attempt to “bridge” the
outputs of this amplifier with the outputs of a
second amplifier, including an identical one.
PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION
It is important that you take the time to read
this manual and that you plan out your
installation carefully. The following are some
considerations that you must take into account
when planning your installation.
Cooling Efficiency Considerations:
The outer shell of your JL Audio amplifier
is designed to remove heat from the amplifier
circuitry. For optimum cooling performance,
this outer shell should be exposed to as large a
volume of air as possible. Enclosing the amplifier
in a small, poorly ventilated chamber can
lead to excessive heat build-up and degraded
performance. If an installation calls for an
enclosure around the amplifier, we recommend
that this enclosure be ventilated with the aid of
a fan. In normal applications, fan-cooling is
not necessary.
IMPORTANT!
!
Mounting the amplifier upside down is
strongly discouraged. If mounting the amplifier
under a seat, make sure there is at least 1 inch
(2.5 cm) of space above the amplifier’s outer
shell to permit proper cooling.
Safety Considerations:
Your amplifier needs to be installed in a dry,
well-ventilated environment and in a manner
which does not interfere with your vehicle’s safety
equipment (air bags, seat belt systems, ABS brake
systems, etc.). You should also take the time to
securely mount the amplifier using appropriate
hardware so that it does not come loose in the
event of a collision or a sudden jolt to the vehicle.
Stupid Mistakes to Avoid:
• Check before drilling any holes in your vehicle
to make sure that you will not be drilling
through a gas tank, brake line, wiring harness or
other vital vehicle system.
• Do not run system wiring outside or underneath
the vehicle. This is an extremely dangerous
practice which can result in severe damage to
your vehicle and person.
• Protect all system wires from sharp metal edges
and wear by carefully routing them, tying
them down and using grommets and loom
where appropriate.
• Do not mount the amplifier in the engine
compartment, under the vehicle, on the roof or
in any other area that will expose the amplifier
circuitry to the elements.
WHAT IS INCLUDED
(1) JD monoblock amplifier
(1) 2.5 mm hex wrench
(1) 3 mm hex wrench
(1) Owner's manual
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
JD monoblock amplifiers utilize
JL Audio's NexD™ high-speed switching
technology to deliver outstanding fidelity
and efficiency.
Optimized for low-frequency amplification,
all models can be operated with a wide variety
of source units and system configurations.
Their frequency response is limited to the
range below 500 Hz, making them unsuitable
for driving midrange speakers or tweeters.
For detailed specifications, please
refer to Appendix B (page 13).
