THANK YOU FOR YOUR PURCHASE ...
~ Your product has been designed to provide you the performance and ease of operation you expect from JBL. Take
_... time to read this manual before operating or installing your amplifier. Keep it in your glove compartment along with the
owner's manual for your car. Put your amplifier sales receipt with other important documents
in order to expedite warranty
service if needed. This manual describes general installation guidelines and operation instructions. Please note that proper
installation of mobile audio components requires qualified experience with mechanical and electrical procedures.
If you do
not have the knowledge and tools to perform this installation, we strongly recommend consulting an authorized JBL dealer
about your installation options.
What's in the box
1x amplifier
2x speaker-level input adapter
4x mounting screws
2x spare fuses
INSTALLATION AND WIRING
1x E.A.R.L ground terminal
3x self-tapping screws
1x remote bass controller and cable
1x owner's manual
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the vehicle's negative (-) battery terminal before beginning the installation.
• Wear protective eyewear when using tools.
• Choose a safe mounting location, away from moisture. Check clearances on both sides
of the location. Be sure that
screws will not puncture brake or fuel lines or wiring harnesses, and that wire routing will not interfere with vehicle
operation. Use caution when drilling or cutting.
• When making electrical connections, make sure they are secure and properly insulated.
•
To keep the amplifier cool, choose a location that provides enough air circulation, such as under a seat or in the trunk.
• 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 passengers
or shifting cargo in the trunk, and so that
it remains
dry.
• Using the amplifier as a template, mark the locations of the holes on the mounting surface.
• Drill pilot holes
in the mounting surface.
• Attach the amplifier
to the mounting surface with the included screws.
· NOTE: You may find it more convenient to make all of the connections to the amplifier before you permanently mount it.

0 Speaker Output Connectors
Connect the speakers to these terminals, observing
proper polarity (connect each speaker's positive(+) lead
to
the appropriate positive(+) terminal, and negative(-)
lead to the appropriate negative(-) terminal.
To
power two subwoofers, connect one sub's positive
(+)and negative(-) leads
to
the positive and negative
terminals on the left, and the other sub's positive and
negative leads to the positive and negative terminals
on
the right. The terminals are internally paralleled.
To
power one sub, connect the positive wire from the
single subwoofer to the
left+
terminal, and the negative
wire from the subwoofer to the right -terminal.
NOTE:
Minimum speaker impedance for subwoofer oper-
ation
is
2 ohms.
f)
Fuses
Replace fuses only with the same amperage: 35A.
E)
Power Input Connectors
• Power:
Run 4-gauge power wire from the +12V input
to the positive terminal of the vehicle's battery. Insert
bare wire into the terminal on the amplifier, then tighten
the setscrew with a Phillips screwdriver.
• Install
an
appropriate fuse holder and 1
OOA
fuse within
18" (457mm)
of
the battery. Install protective grom-
mets when routing wires through the bulkhead or
other sheet metal. Use larger-gauge wiring for longer
runs.
• Remote: The
REM
lead detects signal and instructs
the amplifier to turn on/off. Connect a
• 20-gauge wire from the "Remote Out" lead of the
source unit to the
REM
input between the +12V and
GND inputs.

• Ground: Run a wire (the same gauge as the power
wire) from the
GND
input
to
a factory bolt
in
the vehi-
cle's chassis (see illustration below). NOTE: Remove
any paint from the
chas~is
for best contact. If using
a ring connector, place a star washer below the
ri
ng
connector for a secure connection.
• For a more secure ground connection, use the includ-
ed E.A.R.L. ground terminal. Crimp the open end of
the terminal
to
the end
of
your ground wire, then place
the terminal against bare chassis metal, and secure
with the
in
cluded self-tapping screws. NOTE: Be sure
to check below your desired ground location to ensure
that the screws will not puncture brake lines, fuel lines,
or wiring harnesses.

Important: Some factory audio system amplifiers
include electronic filters that limit the amount
of
bass
sent
to
the system's smaller speakers. This
fil
tering will
adversely affect the Stadium amplifier's performance.
To
get the most bass possible, splice the high-lev
el
wires
into the factory speaker outputs that are connected to
the system's largest speakers (the ones designed
to
reproduce the most bass).

TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM: No audio and POWER INDICATOR is off.
CAUSE and SOLUTION: No voltage at BATI + and/or
REM terminals,
or bad or no ground connection. Check
voltages at amplifier terminals with VOM.
PROBLEM: No audio and PROTECT INDICATOR flashes
every 4 seconds.
CAUSE and SOLUTION: DC voltage on amplifier output.
Amplifier may need service; see enclosed warranty card
for service information.
PROBLEM: No audio and PROTECT and POWER
INDICATORS flash.
CAUSE and SOLUTION: Voltage less than 9V on BATI +
connection. Check vehicle charging system.
PROBLEM: No audio and PROTECT INDICATOR is on.
CAUSE and SOLUTION: Amplifier is overheated. Make
sure amplifier cooling
is not blocked at mounting location.
Verify that speaker-system impedance
is within specified
limits.
Or, there may be voltage greater than 16V (or less
than 8.
5V) on BATI + connection. Check vehicle charging
system.
PROBLEM: Amplifier fuse keeps blowing.
CAUSE and SOLUTION: The wiring is connected
incorrectly or there
is a short circuit. Review installation
precautions and procedures. Check wiring connections.
PROBLEM: Distorted audio.
CAUSE and SOLUTION: Gain is not set properly. Check
INPUT LEVEL setting. Check speaker wires for shorts or
grounds. Amplifier
or source unit may be defective.
PROBLEM: Distorted audio and PROTECT INDICATOR
flashes.
CAUSE and SOLUTION: Short circuit in speaker or wire.
Remove speaker leads one at a time
to locate shorted
speaker or wire, and repair.
PROBLEM: Music lacks dynamics or "punch."
CAUSE and SOLUTION: Speakers are not connected
properly. Check speaker connections for proper polarity.
PROBLEM: Engine noise-whining or clicking-in
system when the engine is on.
CAUSE and SOLUTION: Amplifier is picking up
alternator noise. Turn down gain. Move audio cables
away from power wires. Install an alternator noise filter on
power line between battery and alternator. Check ground
connections on the
amplifier- a loose or improper ground
is one of the main causes for noise.
