OWNER’S MANUAL 600W Monoblock Subwoofer Amplifier Thank you for purchasing a JL Audio amplifier for your automotive sound system. Your amplifier has been designed and manufactured to exacting standards in order to ensure years of musical enjoyment in your vehicle. For maximum performance, we highly recommend that you have your new amplifier installed by an authorized JL Audio dealer.
PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION Mounting the amplifier upside down is It is important that you take the time to strongly discouraged. If mounting the amplifier read this manual and that you plan out your under a seat, make sure there is at least 1 inch installation carefully.
(use of the JL Audio ECS master The XD600/1v2 can be operated with a wide ground lug, XB-MGLU is recommended). Use variety of source units and system configurations. 4 AWG wire, no longer than 36 inches (90 cm)
If and vice-versa (1/0 AWG is the largest, 2 AWG is only the XD600/1v2 is being run from that power smaller, then 4 AWG, then 8 AWG, etc.). wire, use a 50A fuse.
DC offset sensing. Of course, the XD600/1v2 must be the first amplifier in the If a source unit does not have a dedicated signal path for this to function properly.

2) LP Filter Operation: The low-pass filter in the the “LP Filter Mode/Slope” switch to the XD600/1v2 is fully variable between 50 Hz and “Off” position. This is useful if you are using 500 Hz via the “Filter Freq.” control knob (80 an external active crossover in the system.
INFRASONIC FILTER REMOTE LEVEL CONTROL (OPTIONAL) The “Infrasonic Filter” is a 24 dB/octave high- pass filter, with a fixed cutoff frequency of 30 Hz. This filter is designed to conserve amplifier power Remote Level and protect subwoofer systems, without audibly Control degrading the sub-bass output.
Subwoofer loads below 2 ohms nominal are not recommended and may cause the amplifier to initiate a protection mode, which reduces power output. 10 | JL Audio - XD600/1v2 Owner’s Manual...

The only condition that will shut down an operating status. undamaged XD600/1v2 completely is if battery voltage or remote turn-on voltage drops below 10 volts. The “Status LED” will turn off when this occurs.

6) Verify that you have disconnected the speakers before proceeding. Play a track with an appropriate sine wave (within the frequency range to be amplified by the XD600/1v2) at 3/4 source unit volume. 7) Connect the AC voltmeter to the speaker output connectors of the amplifier.

“My amplifier shuts off once in a while, usually at higher volumes.” Check Check your voltage source and grounding point. The power supply of the XD600/1v2 will operate with charging system voltages down to 10V. Shutdown problems at higher volume levels can occur when the charging system voltage (or remote turn-on voltage) drops below 10V.
