OWNER’S MANUAL
500W Wide-Range Class D Monoblock Amplier
What’s Included
(1) Amplifier
(4) Stainless steel mounting screws
(1) User manual
Product Description
This is a wide-range monoblock amplifier utilizing Class D technology that can
be used alone or in stereo pairs.
Installation Applications
This amplifier is designed for operation with 12 volt, negative-ground electrical
systems. Using this product in systems 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.
Safety Considerations
• Whenever possible, mount the amplifier in a dry, well-ventilated location
that does not interfere with other factory installed electronic devices. If a dry
environment is not available, a location that is not exposed to heavy splashing
may be used.
• While this amplifier is designed to be water-resistant, it should never be
submerged under water or subjected to high-pressure water spray.
Do not install where it will be directly exposed to the elements.
• Do not mount the amplifier in the engine compartment or in any areas of
extreme heat.
• Securely mount the amplifier so that it does not come loose in the
event of a collision/sudden jolt or as a result of repeated vibrations during
normal operation.
• Check before drilling to make sure that you will not be drilling into an exterior
panel/hull, fuel tank, gas/brake line, wiring harness, or other vital system.
• Do not run system wiring outside or underneath the vehicle/vessel. This is an
extremely dangerous practice, which can result in severe damage/injury.
• Protect all system wires from sharp edges (metal, fiberglass, etc.) by
carefully routing them, tying them down and using grommets and loom
where appropriate.
• Secure all wiring as needed, using cable ties or wire clamps to protect them
from moving parts and sharp edges.
Installation Procedure/Connections
1. Disconnect the NEGATIVE battery post connection and secure the discon-
nected cable to prevent accidental reconnection during installation. This is
an essential safety precaution during installation!
2. Connect the RED power lead to the positive (+12V) battery post. 4 AWG is
the minimum power wire size for this amplifier.
3. An appropriate fuse (sold separately), such as the JL Audio Water-Resistant
Master MAXI™ Fuse Block (XD-MFBW-MAXI), at the main power wire(s) to
the amplifier(s) is vital for vehicle/vessel safety. This fuse must be installed
within 18 inches (45 cm) of the positive battery post connection. If this is
the only device connected to this main wire, use a 50A fuse. Do not install
the fuse until the power wire has been securely connected to the amplifier.
4. Connect the BLACK negative ground lead to a clean, solid metal grounding
point near the amplifier. This can be to metal chassis ground, if available. If
no metal chassis ground is available, it may be necessary to make this con-
nection to the NEGATIVE battery post. 4 AWG is the minimum ground wire
size for this amplifier. All ground connections (source unit and amplifi-
ers) should be made at the same location.
5. Connect the BLUE remote turn-on lead to the source unit’s positive (+12V)
remote turn-on output. If your 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.
6. Signal Input (Low-Level): Connect the amplifier’s RCA input jacks to the
source unit’s preamp level output jacks. You may run a stereo or a mono
signal into the inputs of the amplifier. The amplifier’s input section automat-
ically sums stereo signals to mono for the internal amplifier section. When
feeding a single, low-level RCA input connection, use a Y-adaptor splitter to
split the mono signal and connect it to both Left and Right RCA inputs.
7. Signal Input (Hi-Level): If your source unit does not offer preamp level signal
outputs, you can splice the speaker output wires of the source unit onto a
pair of RCA plugs for the input pair or use the JL Audio ECS Speaker Wire
to RCA adaptor (XD-CLRAIC2-SW). Make sure to observe correct polarity in
making “Hi-Level Input” connections. Failure to do so will result in a loss of
signal (poor performance).
8. Connect the speaker output leads to the corresponding speaker wires.
9. Make necessary adjustments to the filter controls and input sensitivity.
10. The amplifier’s subwoofer output level can be controlled from the front of
the vehicle/vessel with an optional remote level controller (sold separately).
Use the RBC-1 for standard (dry) installations or the M-RBC-1 for applica-
tions exposed to moisture. Connect the remote’s plug to the amplifier’s har-
ness-mounted RJ11 input jack. (Refer to Appendix B)
WARNING! Failure to make safe, tight, high-integrity power connec-
tions can result in fire and extensive damage!
Control Panel Settings and Adjustments
The amplifier’s settings and controls are located on the bottom panel beneath a
gasketed, protective cover. Remove the four Phillips head screws from the center
panel to access the controls and make adjustments. Replace cover when finished
and mount the amplifier.

Appendix A:
Input Sensitivity Level Setting
Following the directions below will allow the installer to adjust the input
sensitivity of each amplifier channel pair in just a few minutes using equipment
commonly available in installation bays.
Necessary Equipment
• Digital AC Voltmeter
• CD or file with a sine-wave test tone recorded at 0 dB reference level in the
frequency range to be amplified for that set of channels (50 Hz for subwoofer
channels, 1 kHz for a midrange application). Do not use attenuated test tones
(-10 dB, -20 dB, etc.).
The Nine-Step Procedure
1) Disconnect the speakers from the amplifier’s speaker output
connectors (you need only disconnect one speaker wire).
2) Turn off all processing (bass/treble, loudness, EQ, etc.) on the source
unit, processors (if used) and amplifier. Set the source unit’s fader
control to center position and its subwoofer level control to
3/4 of maximum.
3) Turn the “Input Sens.” control all the way down.
4) Set the source unit volume to 3/4 of full volume. This will allow for
reasonable gain overlap with moderate clipping at full volume.
5) Using the chart on this page, determine the target voltage for input
sensitivity adjustment according to the nominal impedance of the
speaker system connected to the amplifier outputs.
6) Verify that you have disconnected the speakers before proceeding. Play
a track with an appropriate sine wave (within the frequency range to
be amplified) at 3/4 source unit volume.
7) Connect the AC voltmeter to the speaker output connectors of the
amplifier. Make sure you test the voltage at the correct connectors
(+ and –).
8) Increase the “Input Sens.” control until the target voltage is observed
with the voltmeter.
9) Once you have adjusted the amplifier to its maximum low-distortion
output level, reconnect the speaker(s) and listen to the system. The
“Input Sens.” controls can now be adjusted downward if the amplifier
requires attenuation to achieve the desired system balance.

Appendix B
Remote Level Control
With the optional RBC-1 or M-RBC-1 Remote Level Control (each sold separately),
you can control the subwoofer volume from the front of the vehicle/vessel.
The remote’s plug connects to the amplifier’s harness-mounted RJ11 input
jack. When connected to the amplifier, the Remote Level Control operates as
follows. At full counter-clockwise rotation, the audio will mute completely. At full
clockwise rotation the level will be the same as if the remote was not connected
at all. In other words, it operates strictly as a level attenuator. This control will
not affect the “Bass Boost” feature of the amplifier. Care should be taken to
securely mount this control in a manner that does not interfere with vehicle/
vessel operation. When setting the amplifier’s input sensitivity, the Remote Level
Control should be unplugged or at full clockwise rotation (maximum level).
Problem Possible Cause Solution
How to properly set
input sensitivity
Please refer to Appendix A to set the
input sensitivity for maximum, low-
distortion output.
Amplifier doesn’t
turn on
Faulty fuse Remove fuse and check with continuity
meter. Replace if necessary.
Poor connection
integrity
Check “+12V”, “Ground”, and “Remote”
leads for pinched wires; ensure tight
connections.
Insufficient
“Remote” input
Make sure there is a sufficient +12V
supply at the “Remote” connection; if
not a relay may be required.
Intermittent output,
fluctuates when I tap
on it or hit a bump
Poor connection
integrity
Make sure insulation has been properly
stripped back at connection points for
good contact area.
Make sure input connectors are making
good contact with input jacks of the
amplifier.
Distorted, attenuated,
or popping sound
Faulty speaker
connection (Short
Circuit / Over
Current Protection)
Inspect speaker wires for possible short-
circuit, either together or shorted to the
vehicle’s chassis ground.
Check the nominal load impedance at
the amplifier is equal to or greater than
2 ohms.
Output shuts off after
a while
Overheating
condition (Thermal
Protection)
Make sure amplifier mounting area has
adequate space for ventilation and heat
dissipation.

Important!
Do not increase any “Input Sens.” setting for any amplifier channel or
channel pair in the system beyond the maximum level established during
this procedure. Doing so will result in audible distortion and possible
speaker damage.
It will be necessary to re-adjust the “Input Sens.” for the affected channels if any
equalizer boost is activated after setting the “Input Sens.” with this procedure. This
applies to any EQ boost circuit, including source unit tone controls or EQ circuits. EQ
cuts will not require re-adjustment.
Status LED’s / Protection Circuitry
There are two status indicator lights on the wiring end panel of the amplifier.
1. “POWER” (Green): Lights to indicate that the amplifier is turned on and
operating normally.
2. “PROTECT” (Red): Lights to indicate the amplifier’s protection circuitry
has been activated to prevent product failure due to thermal overload,
over current or short-circuit to the amplifier’s outputs. When this pro-
tection mode is activated, the amplifier will shut down to protect its
circuitry. When the problem is corrected, the amplifier will return to
normal operation and the “Protect” LED will shut off. Connecting the
speaker outputs to impedances lower than 2 ohms will also cause this
protection mode to activate.
