• Power: Run power wire from the +12V input to the positive terminal of the vehicle’s battery. Install an appropriate fuse holder and fuse (60A minimum on Club-704 and Club-5501, 105A minimum on Club-4505) within 18” (457mm) of the battery. Make sure the wire is not damaged or pinched during installation.
• If your source unit offers preamp outputs, connect to the FRONT, REAR, and/or SUB inputs using RCA patch cables. • To connect a second amp directly to the Club-704 amplifier, run a patch cable from the PRE OUT outputs to the second amp’s preamp inputs.
8. Crossover filter selectors (X-OVER): Crossover-filter selectors (Club-704 and Club-4505 only; Club-5501 filter is low pass only). • LP: Low pass. Choose this setting if you’re connecting a subwoofer(s), or want to provide a low-pass filter for separate mid-bass speakers.
12. ADAS ASSIGN (Club-704 and Club-4505 models only): If you’ve connected the amp to an Advanced Driver Assistance System (see 13, next), this dial allows you to select the speaker over which you’ll hear ADAS messages. Turn the dial to FL for the front left speaker, FR for the front right, RL for the rear left, and RR for the rear right.
JBL CLUB CHAPTER 3: OPERATIONS Setting the input levels: To match your amplifier’s input sensitivity (gain) to your source unit’s output level, we recommend the following procedure: A. Turn both input level controls counterclockwise to MIN (minimum). B. Play a dynamic music track through your source unit. Turn the source unit’s volume control to the 3/4 position. C.
Selecting the subwoofer phase You can choose a subwoofer phase output of 0° or 180°. To check your sub's phase, play music with lots of bass and listen as another person slowly flips the 0/180 degree phase switch back and forth. The correct setting is the one that gives you more bass. If you don't detect any real difference, leave the switch in the 0 setting.
