JL Audio 1000/1v2:
These settings are intended
as a "baseline" for tuning
your system. Depending
on your vehicle and your
preferences, some variation in
the crossover and bass control
settings may be necessary
for optimum performance.

Bass EQ:
Generally not necessary in W7 applications (we recommend defeating it by
switching the "Bass EQ" switch to "Off"). May be used with Remote Bass
Control to provide some user controllable broad bass boost. When used in this
manner, set "Q" to "1.1", set "Center Freq." to "45" Hz, "Boost" is defeated by
connection of Remote Bass Control.
Infrasonic Filter:
Turn "Off" for Sealed Enclosure.
Turn "On" for Ported Enclosure and
set the knob to "25" Hz.

Input Sensitivity Controls:
Proper adjustment of these controls is critical!
For virtually all aftermarket head units,
set "Input Voltage" to "Low".
See "Input Sensitivity Setting Guide"
on pg. 14 for precise setting instructions.
Ampli er Input:
Connect RCA-type
cables from the head
unit (or processor) to
these two jacks.
Use both jacks
(with a Y-adapter
if necessary).
Dual Mono Speaker
Output Connections:
Connect wire directly to "+"
and "–" "Subwoofer Output"
connections and to the W7.
Output Polarity:
Carefully listen to the sub-bass to
mid-bass transition with music that
has strong mid-bass content. Select
the switch position which gives the
smoothest, most natural mid-bass
response. If using multiple 1000/1's
on multiple subwoofers, make sure
this switch is set to the same position
on all ampli ers.
