    							¥ Before drilling or cutting holes, use a
    utility knife to remove unwanted fabric
    or vinyl to keep material from snagging
    in a drill bit.
    ¥ When routing cables, keep input-signal
    cables away from power cables and
    speaker wires. 
    ¥ When making connections, make 
    certain they are secure and properly
    insulated.
    ¥ If the amplifierÕs fuse must be replaced,
    use only the same type and rating as
    that of the original. Do not substitute
    another kind.
    2
    Installation Warnings  and Tips¥  Always wear protective eyewear when
    using tools.
    ¥ Turn off all audio systems and other
    electrical devices before you start.
    Disconnect the (Ð) negative lead from
    your vehicleÕs battery.
    ¥ Check clearances on both sides of a
    planned mounting surface before
    drilling any holes or installing any
    screws. Remember that the screws can
    extend behind the surface.
    ¥ At the installation sites, locate and
    make a note of all fuel lines, hydraulic
    brake lines, vacuum lines and electrical
    wiring. Use extreme caution when 
    cutting or drilling in and around these
    areas.
    Thank youfor purchasing a JBL Power
    Seriesª amplifier. In order that we may
    better serve you should you require 
    warranty service for your new amplifier,
    please retain your original purchase
    receipt and return the enclosed warranty
    registration card.
    Warning:Playing loud music in an auto-
    mobile can permanently damage your
    hearing as well as hinder your ability to
    hear traffic. We recommend listening at
    low levels while driving your car. JBLaccepts no liability for hearing loss, bodilyinjury or property damage resulting from
    use or misuse of this product. 
    Important:Installation of automotive
    stereo components can require extensive
    experience in performing a variety of
    mechanical and electrical procedures.
    Although these instructions explain, in a
    general sense, how to install Power
    Series amplifiers, they may not show 
    the exact installation methods for your
    particular vehicle. If you feel you lack the
    necessary tools or experience, ask your
    authorized JBL car-audio dealer about
    professional installation options.
    Choosing a Location and
    Mounting the AmplifierAmplifiers need air to stay cool. Suitable
    locations are under a seat (provided the
    amplifier doesnÕt interfere with the seat
    adjustment mechanism), in the trunk or
    in any other location which provides
    enough air for the amp to cool itself. Do
    not mount the amplifier with the heat
    sink facing downward, as this makes
    convection cooling of the amplifier
    impossible.
    Mount the amplifier so that it is not
    damaged by the feet of back-seat pas-
    sengers or shifting cargo in the trunk.
    Mount the amplifier so that it remains
    dry Ð never mount an amplifier outside
    the car or in the engine compartment. 
    Using the amplifier as a template, mark
    the location of the mounting holes on
    the mounting surface, drill pilot holes,
    and attach the amplifier to the mounting
    surface with  screws. Make sure the
    amplifier is mounted securely.

    Wiring the Power ConnectionsRefer to Figures 1Ð3 for connector loca-
    tions. All the Power Series amplifiers
    will accept up to 4-gauge power and
    ground wire.
    For power, remote and ground connec-
    tions, strip off one end of each jacket to
    reveal bare wire for insertion into the
    connectors. Connect a wire from the
    GND connector on the amplifier to the
    nearest bare-metal chassis component;
    scrape away the paint to ensure good
    conductivity. Next, connect a wire
    between the BATT terminal on the
    amplifier and the POS(+) terminal of the
    vehicleÕs battery. Pass the wire through a
    factory-installed grommet in the firewall,
    or install a grommet if a factory grom-
    met is not available. Connect a wire
    between the REM terminal of the ampli-
    fier and the Òremote outÓ or power-
    antenna lead on the vehicleÕs radio. 
    Wiring the Speaker-Output
    ConnectionsP80.2, P180.2, P80.4
    All the Power Series amplifiers will
    accept up to 8-gauge speaker wire.
    Connect the speakers, observing proper
    polarity, to the speaker-output connector.
    The total impedance of the speaker 
    system connected to the amplifier when
    the amplifier is driven in stereo must be
    at least two ohms. 
    If you are bridging the amplifier, connect
    the speaker wires to the terminals
    marked Òbridged,Ó observing proper
    polarity. The total impedance of the
    speaker system connected to the amplifi-
    er must be at least four ohms in bridged
    mode. 
    If you are running the amp in Tri-Mode
    (stereo and mono simultaneously), con-
    nect the satellite speakers to the speaker
    connector as you would a pair of stereo
    speakers. Connect the subwoofer to the
    terminals marked ÒbridgedÓ Refer to the
    chart above to determine the capacitor
    and inductor values youÕll need to route
    bass signals to the woofer, and the
    midrange and high frequencies to the
    satellite speakers. These passive
    crossover components will also ensure
    that the impedance of the speaker sys-
    tem doesnÕt drop below two ohms.
    BP150.1, BP300.1, BP600.1, BP1200.1
    Connect the woofers to the amplifier,
    observing proper polarity. Although
    these amplifiers have a single channel,
    duplicate positive and negative connec-
    tors are provided to facilitate the connec-
    tion of multiple woofers.
    The total impedance of the speaker 
    system connected to a BP Series 
    amplifier must be at least 1 ohm.

    Setting Input Level Initially, turn the input-sensitivity LEVEL
    control to its maximum (counter-clock-
    wise) position. Turn on the source unit
    and increase the volume control until it
    is approximately three-quarters of maxi-
    mum-output level. Slowly increase the
    input LEVEL control (clockwise) while lis-
    tening to the quality of the reproduced
    sound. When you hear distortion on the
    music peaks, turn the LEVEL control
    back slightly. This is the maximum 
    undistorted output level of your system.
    Turning the LEVEL control up farther
    WILL NOT INCREASE THE OUTPUT
    POWER OF YOUR AMPLIFIER! It will
    only decrease the amount of volume-
    control rotation before the amp is at full-
    output power. It will also increase the
    amount of extraneous noise present in
    your system.
    Wiring the Input-Signal
    ConnectionsConnect a pair of signal cables with
    RCA-type ends between the connectors
    on the amplifier and the RCA-type signal
    connectors on the source unit. If your
    radio has only speaker-level outputs, you
    should connect them to the speaker-level
    input connectors, observing proper
    polarity. When using the speaker-level
    inputs, it is not necessary to connect a
    wire between the ÒremoteÓ terminal of
    the amplifier and the ÒremoteÓ lead from
    the source unit. The speaker-level inputs
    will sense voltage on the speaker 
    outputs and turn the amplifier on 
    automatically.
    If you are installing a P80.4 amplifier and
    your source unit has only one pair of
    RCA-type output connectors and a pair
    of speaker-level outputs, you may 
    connect the RCA outputs to a pair of
    amplifier input channels (front or rear),
    and the speaker-level outputs to the
    other pair of amplifier input channels.
    System Setup and AdjustmentRefer to figures 1Ð6 for location of
    adjustment switches and controls.
    Electronic Crossover and Bass Boost
    P80.1, P80.4, P180.2
    The electronic crossover can be selected
    as a 12dB/oct. high-pass filter (HPF)
    12dB/oct. low-pass filter (LPF) or it 
    can be defeated (FLAT). The crossover
    frequency can be set at any frequency
    between 32Hz and 320Hz.
    BP150.1, BP300.1, BP600.1, BP1200.1
    These amplifiers are designed to 
    drive subwoofers. Consequently, the 
    electronic crossover is a 12dB/oct. 
    low-pass filter which can be set at any
    frequency between 32Hz and 320Hz.
    The bass boost control will provide up
    to 6dB of boost at 50Hz.
    The BP150.1, BP300.1, BP600.1 and 
    BP1200.1 are designed to provide con-
    stant bass regardless of the position of
    the source unitÕs front-to-rear fader posi-
    tion. Use of this feature requires that all
    four inputs are connected to the source
    unit as labeled on the amplifier (front,
    rear, right and left). If your source unit
    has only one pair of RCA-type output
    connectors and a pair of speaker-level
    outputs, you may connect the RCA out-
    puts to a pair of amplifier input channels
    (front or rear), and the speaker level out-
    puts to the other pair of amplifier input
    channels. If nonfading bass is not impor-
    tant in your system, connect a pair of
    inputs, either speaker-level or RCA-type,
    to either the front or rear input connec-
    tors on the amplifier.
