Cl r- The outer shell of your IL Audio amplifier rri is designed to remove heat from the amplifier Safety Considerations: circuitry. For optimum cooling performance, Your amplifier needs to be installed in a dry, this outer shell should be exposed to as large a well-ventilated environment and in a manner volume of air as possible. Enclosing the amplifier which does not interfere with your vehicle's safety in a small, poorly ventilated chamber can equipment (air bags, seat belt systems, ABS brake lead to excessive heat build-up and degraded systems, etc.). You should also take the time to performance.

In normal applications, fan-cooling is not necessary. 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.

While holding the wire in place, tighten the set screw firmly, taking care not to strip the head of the screw. 5 EFTA01119757 TURN-ON LEAD The XD600/1 uses a conventional +I2V remote turn-on lead, typically controlled by the source unit's remote turn-on output. The amplifier will turn on when +12V is present at its "Remote" input and turn off when +I2V is switched off. If a source unit does not have a dedicated remote turn-on output, the amplifier's turn-on lead can be connected to +12V via a switch that derives power from an ignition-switched circuit. The XD600/1's "Remote" turn-on connector is designed to accept 18 AWG - 12 AWG wire. To conned the remote turn-on wire to the amplifier, first back out the set screw on the top of the terminal block, using the supplied 2.5 mm hex wrench. Strip 1/2 inch (12mm) of wire and insert the bare wire into the terminal block, seating it firmly so that no bare wire is exposed. While holding the wire in the terminal, tighten the set screw firmly, taking care not to strip the head of the screw and making sure that the wire is firmly gripped by the set screw.

(or use JL Audio part XD-CLRAIC2-SW) No "line output converter" is needed in most cases. If you find that the output cannot be reduced sufficiently with a direct speaker level signal applied to the amplifier, you may use a "line output converter" or voltage divider to reduce the signal level. 7 EFTA01119759 FILTER CONTROLS Most speakers are not designed to reproduce Tuning Hint: A trunk mounted sub whose the full range of frequencies audible by the human output has to "fight" through a rear deck or a ear.

With the internal crossover turned off, the fhltearecr 014 XD600/1's upper frequency response limit is 500 Hz, due to its subwoofer-specific design. 2) LP Filter Operation: The low-pass filter in the XD600/I is fully variable between 50 Hz and 500 Hz via the "Filter Freq." control knob and features the ability to select between a moderate "12dB" per octave or a steep "24dB" per octave slope via the "LP Filter Mode/Slope" switch. Depending on the subwoofer system and the vehicle, different slopes may be required to produce a smooth transition to the mid- bass speakers in the system. Experiment to find the slope which best matches the acoustic requirements of your system. 8 1 1L Audio - XO600/I Owner's Manual EFTA01119760 INFRASONIC FILTER REMOTE LEVEL CONTROL (OPTIONAL) The "Infrasonic Filter" is a 24 dB/octave high pass filter, with a fixed cutoff frequency of 30 Hz.

Please refer to Appendix A (page 12) to set the input sensitivity for maximum, low-distortion output. "My amplifier doesn't turn on." Check the fuse, not just visually, but with a continuity meter. It is possible for a fuse to have poor internal connections that cannot be found by visual inspection. It is best to take the fuse out of the holder for testing. If no problem is found with the fuse, inspect the fuse-holder. Check the integrity of the connections made to each of the "+12VDC", "Ground", and "Remote" terminals. Ensure that no wire insulation is pinched by the terminal set screw and that each connection is tight. Check to make sure there is +12V at the "Remote" connection of the amplifier. In some cases, the turn-on lead from the source unit is insufficient to turn on multiple devices and the use of a relay is required. To test for this problem, jump the "+12VDC" wire to the "Remote" terminal to see if the amplifier turns on. "I hear a repetitive ticking or popping sound coming out of the speaker(s)." Check the speaker wires for a possible short, either between the positive and negative leads or between either speaker lead and the vehicle's chassis ground. If a short is present, you will experience distorted and/or attenuated output. The "Status LED" will turn amber in this situation. It may be helpful to disconnect the speaker wires from the amplifier and use a different set of wires connected to a test speaker. Check the nominal load impedance to verify that of the amplifier is driving a load equal to or greater than 2 ohms. "My amplifier's output fluctuates when I tap on it or hit a bump." Check the connections to the amplifier. Make sure that the insulation for all wires has been stripped back far enough to allow a good contact area inside the terminal block. Check the input connectors to ensure that they all are making good contact with the input jacks on the amplifier. 14 I JL Audio- X0600/I Owner's Manual EFTA01119766 "My amplifier shuts off once in a while, usually at higher volume
