OWNER'S MANUAL

WHY YOU SHOULD
PAY
ATTENTION TO THIS OWNER'S MANUAL
The performance of your vehicle's audio system depends as much on quality installation and setup as it does on
quality gear. Of course, these new
JBL
® GTO amplifiers are bulletproof perfo
rm
ers that are built using the highest
quality components, and will outperform any competing prod
uct
on
the
test bench.
To
make sure you extract all
the performance possible from your new amp, whether you install it yourself or have a professional install it for you,
we've incorporated some new features that make se
tup
simple and precise and ensure you get
al
l the power and
performance you've paid for.
WHAT MAKES THESE AMPLIFIERS DIFFERENT
All amplifiers include some signal processing functions, level setting controls and other switches and
co
nnectors that
make it possible to hook the amp up
to
just about any existing system. However, with many amplifiers, considerable
technical expertise
is
required
to
make the best use
of
those connectors, switches and controls
to
get powerful noise-
free sound.
JBL
GTO amplifiers include Simple Setup designed
to
make it easy for you
to
get
all
the noise-free power
yo
ur
amp is capable
of
delivering.
WHAT MAKES INPUT SETUP EASY
GTO Amplifiers include adapters for connecting almost any analog signal and feature built-in Gain Indicator LEOs and
a setup CD that makes precision adjustment simple, no matter your level
of
experience. The setup
of
GTO amplifiers is
a little different than amplifiers you may have installed
in
the past, so please read this owner's manual before you
begin. If you're an experienced installer, skipping ahead is OK,
but
please
don't
skip Setup Procedure, on
page 8.
So we can better serve you should you require warranty
se
rvice, please retain your orig
in

LOCATION AND MOUNTING
INSTALLATION WARNINGS AND TIPS
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the vehicle
's
negative(-) battery terminal before beginning the installation.
• Always wear protective eyewear when using tools.
• Check clearances on both sides of a planned mounting surface. Be sure that
sc
rews or wires wi
ll
not puncture
br
ake lines, fuel
lin
es or wiring harnesses, a
nd
tha
t wire routing will
not
interfere with the safe operation
of
the
vehicle.
•
Wh
en making elect
ri
cal
co
nnection
s,
make sure they are secure and pro
per
ly insulated.
• If you must replace any
of
the GT
0-804E
Z/GT0 -504EZ's fuses, be sure to use the same type of fuse and curre
nt
rating as that
of
the origina
l.
INSTALLATION LOCATION
Amplifiers need air circ
ul
ation to stay coo
l.
Select a location th
at
pr
ovides enough air
for
the a
mp
to
coo
l itself.
• Suitable locations are under a seat (provided the amplifier doesn't interfere with the seat adjustment mechanis
m)
,
in
the trunk, or
in
any
ot
her l
oca
tion that provides enough c
oo
ling air.
• Do not mount the amplifier with the heatsink f
ac
ing downward, as this
in
terferes with the ampl
if
ier's convection
coo
ling.
• Mount
th
e amplifier so that it will not be damaged by the feet of backseat passengers or shifting car
go
in
the trunk.
• Mount the amplifier so that it rema
in
s dry -never mount an amplifier outside the car or in
th
e engine
co
mpartment.

MOUNTING THE AMPLIFIER
NOTE:
You
may find it more convenient
to
make
all
of the connections to the amplifier
bef
o
re
you permanently mount
it to the vehicle.
Before mounting the amplifier you must remove the two end caps
to
expose the mounting holes and the connections.
Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the attachment screws and then the end caps, as shown
in
the illustration.
Pu
t
the screws
in
a safe place, so you can use them
to
reattach the end caps after you have made all the
co
nnections
to
the amplifier.
NOTE:
Before you permanently mount the
amp
lifier, read
Auto
Turn-On Switch, below,
to
determine the setting of the
switch, which
is
located on the amplifier's bottom panel.
1.
Sele
ct
a suitable mounting location as described above.
2. Using the amplifier as a template, mark the l
oc
ations of the mounting holes on the mounting surface.
3.
Drill pilot holes
in
the mounting surface.
4.
Attach the amplifier
to
the mounting surface with four appropriate mounting screws
of
your own choice. We
suggest using #8 Phillips-head sheet metal
sc
rews. Make sure the amplifier
is
mounted securely.
CONNECTIONS
IMPORTANT:
Di
sconnect the
ve
hi
cle's negati
ve(
-)
ba
tt
ery terminal before beginning the insta
ll
at
ion.
If you have not al
rea
dy
do
ne so, remove the
tw
o end caps that cover the amplifier
's
co
nn
ectors as expla
in
ed
in
Mounting the Amplifie
r,
above. T
hi
s w
ill
provide easier access to a
ll
of the amplifier
's
co
nnectors.
AUTO TURN-ON SWITCH
No
rem
ote turn-on
co
nnection is necessa
ry
because G
TO
amplifiers include signal-sensing turn-on, which will turn
the amplifier on when it receives an audio sign
al
at any
of
its input connectors. The amplifier will automatically turn off
approximate
ly
fi
ve
minutes after the input signal ceases.
If your audio system
's
source unit
in
clud
es
a remote turn
-o
n wi
re
and you would prefer to u
se
it. the amplifier
will
se
nse that you've u
se
d a remote turn-on wire and that connection will override the signal-sensing turn-on. If
necessary, you
ca
n defeat the signal-
se
nsing turn-on circuit
by
mo
vi
ng the Auto Turn-On switch to the "Off" position.

back
of
the adapt
er.
Tighten the set screws
to
secure the wires.

BASS BOOST
When you're using the amplifier's
rea
r channels
to
power a subwoofer,
th
e Bass Boost control can provide up to
12dB
of
bass boost at 45Hz. Set this control according to your personal taste, but be careful not to set the control at a high
enough
le
vel
to
cause audible d
is
tortion
or
bottoming of your subwoofer. CAUTION: Only use the Bass Boost control
if you've
co
nfigured the rear channels
to
power a subwoofer. Using the Bass Boost control with full-range speakers
can damage the speakers.

Confirmation
of
Ownership
In the world
of
high fidelity,
technology
is
all
too
often
viewed
as
the
end product.
At
JBL~
we
have a
different
viewpoint:
technology
is
only
the
means
to
an end. The end result must be enjoyment
of
the
programs and music you hear.
