(GX-A602, GX-A3001 x 1)

(GX-A604 x 2)

LOCATION AND MOUNTING

Although these instructions explain how to install GX-series amplifiers in a general sense, they do not show specific installation methods that may be

required for your particular vehicle. If you do not have the necessary tools or experience, do not attempt the installation yourself. Instead, please ask

your authorized JBL car audio dealer about professional installation.

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 screws or wires will not puncture brake lines, fuel lines or wiring

harnesses, and that wire routing will not interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle.

• When making electrical connections, make sure they are secure and properly insulated.

• If you must replace any of the amplifier's fuses, be sure to use the same type of fuse and current rating as that of the original.

INSTALLATION LOCATION

Amplifiers need air circulation to stay cool. Select a location that provides enough air for the amp to cool itself.

• Suitable locations are under a seat (provided the amplifier doesn’t interfere with the seat adjustment mechanism), in the trunk, or in any other

location that provides enough cooling air.

• Do not mount the amplifier with the heatsink facing downward, as this interferes with the amplifier’s convection cooling.

• Mount the amplifier so that it will not be damaged by the feet of backseat passengers or shifting cargo in the trunk.

• Mount the amplifier so that it remains dry – never mount an amplifier outside the car or in the engine compartment.

MOUNTING THE AMPLIFIER

NOTE : You may find it more convenient to make all of the connections to the amplifier before you permanently mount it to the vehicle.

1. Select a suitable mounting location as described above.

2. Using the amplifier as a template, mark the locations 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 screws. Make sure the amplifier is mounted securely.

POWER AND GROUND CONNECTIONS

IMPORTANT: Disconnect the vehicle's negative (–) battery terminal before beginning the installation.

The GX series amplifiers are capable of delivering high power levels, and require a heavy-duty and reliable connection to the vehicle’s electrical

system to achieve optimal performance. Please adhere to the following instructions carefully.

USING THE CONNECTORS

GX-series amplifiers use the same type of screw terminals for power and speaker connections. This type of terminal is easy to use and allows the

easy connection of large-gauge wire.

To use the connectors, use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the connector’s set screw, insert the bare wire and tighten the set screw to secure the

wire in the connector, as shown in the illustration below.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the (+) and (–) speaker bare wires do not touch each other or the other terminal at both the amplifier terminals and speaker

terminals. Touching wires can cause a short circuit that can damage the amplifier.

GROUND (GND) CONNECTION

Connect a wire (minimum 10AWG – 5.3mm2)

from the amplifier’s GND terminal directly to a

solid point on the vehicle’s chassis.

• For a good connection, use sandpaper to

clear the paint from the metal surface at this

chassis location. Use a star-type lock washer

to secure the wire’s connection.

POWER (12V) CONNECTION

1. Connect a wire (minimum 10AWG –

5.3mm2) directly to the battery’s positive (+)

terminal.

2. Install a fuse holder for a 50A fuse (GX-

A604, GX-A3001) or a 30A fuse (GX-A602)

on this wire within 18" (46cm) of the

battery’s (+) terminal. Do not install the fuse

in the holder at this time.

3. Route this wire to the amplifier’s location

and connect it to the amplifier’s +12V

terminal. Be sure to use appropriate

grommets whenever routing wires

through the firewall or other sheet metal.

IMPORTANT: Failure to adequately protect

the positive wire from potential damage may

result in a vehicle fire.

4. When you are finished routing and

connecting this wire, install the appropriate

fuse in the holder you installed near the

battery. (GX-A604, GX-A3001 – 50A fuse;

GX-A602 – 30A fuse)

SPEAKER AND INPUT CONNECTIONS

Always connect the (+) speaker terminal on the amplier to the (+) terminal on the speaker and the (–) speaker terminal on the amplier to the (–) terminal

on the speaker.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the (+) and (–) bare wires do not touch each other or the other terminal at both the amplifier terminals and speaker

terminals. Touching wires can cause a short circuit that can damage the amplifier.

GX-A604 SPEAKER CONNECTIONS: 4-CHANNEL OPERATION

Minimum speaker impedance: 2 ohms (each)

• Connect the front speakers to the FL and FR (+) and (–) terminals.

• Connect the rear speakers to the RL and RR (+) and (–) terminals.

See Set The Crossover Controls, on page 11, for information about setting the amplifier's controls for 4-channel operation.

To use the speaker-level inputs instead of the line-level inputs, see Using The Speaker-Level Inputs, on page 12.

GX-A604 SPEAKER CONNECTIONS: 3-CHANNEL OPERATION

Minimum speaker impedance: 2 ohms each (left & right speakers); 4 ohms (subwoofer)

• Connect the left and right speakers to the FL and FR (+) and (–) terminals

• Connect the subwoofer to the RL (+) and RR (–) terminals. (The rear-channel Bass Boost control makes the rear channels preferable for subwoofer

connection. See Set The Bass Boost, on page 12.) NOTE: You can connect two 2-ohm subwoofers in series to maintain the required 4-ohm

mimimum impedance for the subwoofer channel.
