power indicator: This LED will glow green when the JBL GT-BassPro12
is operating.
auto turn-on switch: If you connected your GT-BassPro12 using
the high-level connectors and did not connect the Remote Turn-On
connector, set the Auto Turn-On switch to the "On" position (in). If you
did connect the Remote Turn-On connector, set the Auto Turn-On switch
to the "Off" position (out).
protect indicator: This indicator will light up (and the subwoofer will
stop operating) to indicate the following conditions:
• Battery voltage too high/too low
• Subwoofer amplifier over temperature
• Short-circuit in the subwoofer driver or wiring
Correct the condition before attempting to use the subwoofer again.
phase switch: This switch will reverse the phase of the GT-BassPro12's
output with respect to its input. When you install the GT-BassPro12 with
an existing factory or aftermarket system, changing the Phase switch
setting to reverse the subwoofer's phase may produce a discernable
increase or decrease in the amount of upper bass that the system
reproduces, depending on the GT-BassPro12's location in the vehicle
and the distance between it and the other speakers in the vehicle.
level control: Use this control to balance the relative volume of the GT-
BassPro12 with the other speakers in the vehicle.
low pass control: Use this control to adjust the amount of high-
frequency information present in the GT-BassPro12's output. A lower
value allows less high-frequency content.
bass boost control: Use this control to increase the amount of low
bass output from the GT-BassPro12. The Bass Boost control provides
up to 12dB of boost at 45Hz.
