WHAT'S IN THE BOX

EN
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the vehicle's negative (–) battery
terminal before beginning the installation.
• Always wear protective eyewear when using tools.
• Choose a safe mounting location, away from moisture. Check
clearances on both sides of a planned mounting surface. Be
sure that screws or wires will not puncture brake lines, fuel
lines, or wiring harnesses and that wire routing will not interfere
with the safe vehicle operation. Use caution when drilling or
cutting in the mounting area.
• Choose a location that provides enough air circulation.
• Do not mount the amplifier with the heat sink facing downward,
as this interferes with cooling.
• Mount the amplifier so that it will not be damaged by the feet of
backseat passengers or shifting cargo in the trunk.

Setting the gain
1. Start with control set to minimum,
and the crossover control rotated midway.
2. For the front and rear channels, choose
music you're familiar with. For the subwoofer
channel on the Club A5055, choose music
with substantial bass content.
3. Turn the volume control on your receiver to
¾ of its total output.
4. Adjust the control clockwise,
listening carefully to the bass output. If
you hear distortion, turn the control
counterclockwise to decrease the gain.

Selecting the crossover mode
On the front and rear channels, you can select
your preferred crossover mode.
Choose to allow only frequencies
above a certain point to reach your speakers.
Recommended if you're using a subwoofer in
your system, as it keeps low base from your
full-range speakers.
Choose to allow only frequencies below
a certain point to reach your speakers.
Recommended if you're bridging the front or
rear channels to power a subwoofer.
Choose to allow all frequencies to reach
your speakers. Recommended if you're not
using a subwoofer in your system.
Note: The crossover mode for the subwoofer
channel of the Club A5055 is low-pass only.

TROUBLESHOOTING
No audio and POWER INDICATOR is off.
• No voltage at BATT+ and/or REM terminals, or bad or no
ground connection. Check voltages at amplifier terminals with
VOM.
No audio and PROTECT INDICATOR flashes every 4
seconds.
• DC voltage on amplifier output. Amplifier may need service; see
enclosed warranty card for service information.
No audio and PROTECT and POWER INDICATORS flash.
• Voltage less than 9V on BATT+ connection. Check vehicle
charging system.
No audio and PROTECT INDICATOR is on.
• Amplifier is overheated. Make sure amplifier cooling is not
blocked at mounting location. Or, there may be voltage greater
than 16V (or less than 8.5V) on BATT+ connection. Check
vehicle charging system.
Amplifier fuse keeps blowing.
• The wiring is connected incorrectly or there is a short circuit.
Check wiring connections.
Distorted audio.
• Gain is not set properly. Check setting. Check wires for shorts
or grounds. Amplifier or source unit may be defective.
Distorted audio and PROTECT INDICATOR flashes.
• Short circuit in speaker or wire. Remove speaker leads one at
a time to locate shorted speaker or wire, and repair.
Music lacks dynamics or "punch".
• Speakers are not connected properly. Check speaker
connections for proper polarity.
Engine noise—whining or clicking—in system when the
engine is on.
• Amplifier is picking up alternator noise. First, check ground
connection on the amplifier – a loose or improper ground is
one of the main causes for noise. Turn down gain. Move RCA
audio cables away from power wires. Installing an alternator
noise filter on power line between battery and alternator might
also be necessary.

Features

Input Level Control
Full on-board protection
Phase Switch
RBC wired remote
Class AB+D amp technology
Turn-on mode
Value engineered car amplifier with JBL power and performance.
The Club A5055 5-channel amplifier delivers a powerful 50-Watts RMS to each of the front
and rear speakers in your car, and a pounding 500-Watts RMS to the subwoofer channel
— a much smarter ratio of subwoofer-to-full-range power than what is typical in 5-channel
amps. You can also bridge the amp to 3-channel mode to deliver 140-Watts RMS to your
front speakers while driving your sub with 500-Watts RMS. Speaker-level inputs allow
this amplifier to integrate into almost any system, even one using your car’s factory radio.
Separate high-pass and low-pass crossovers on the front and rear channels allow you dial
in the perfect roll off to best suit speaker placement and cabin acoustics. The subwoofer
channel features a low-pass crossover, selectable bass boost, and phase switch to optimize
subwoofer performance.

Features and Benefits
Compact size
The JBL Club A5055 amplifier features a low-profile chassis and a small overall footprint to fit
in more vehicles where available space is limited.
High and low level input
Speaker-level and low-level inputs allow the Club A5055 to integrate with both aftermarket
and factory car stereo systems.
Variable crossover and bass boost
Unlike many amplifiers available at similar prices, the JBL Club A5055 features variable electronic
crossovers and bass boost circuits allowing for precise system tuning and performance.
Low noise and distortion
The Club A5055 has been engineered using Balanced Differential Inputs to ensure low noise
and distortion even at high output levels. This also makes it far less susceptible to line induced
radiated engine noise.
Input Level Control
When the low-level inputs are used, this control adjusts the input sensitivity between
200mVrms and 2.0 Vrms. When high-level inputs are used, this control adjusts the input
sensitivity between 2Vrms and 20Vrms.
Full on-board protection
On-board circuitry protects the Club A5055 from shorts, high-temperature, overvoltage and
undervoltage. An LED indicator is provided to let you know when one of these conditions exists.
Phase Switch
This switch changes the input phase to inverted or non-inverted. This is especially helpful with
the subwoofer channel.
RBC wired remote
The RBC wired remote is an easy installation and can be mounted for convenient volume
adjustment from driver’s seat.
Class AB+D amp technology
The JBL Club A5055 5 channels subwoofer amplifier delivers 780-Watts RMS using a
Class AB+D amplifier design to ensure high output and minimum current draw.
Turn-on mode
This switch changes DC to REM to adapt with low-level signals or high-level signals, this is especially
helpful as part of remote turn-on lead of your installation more choice. A selectable “Turn-on mode”
can protect battery to avoid current drain, when you don’t expect turn on your amplifier.
