Page 2: Introduction
Introduction We appreciate your recent purchase of a Jensen amplifier. It is your continued commitment to us that allows us to bring you new and innovative products year after year. The new Jensen JPA series of amplifiers has been redesigned for 2005 to meet or exceed the CEA-2006 test standards. -
Page 3: Features
JPA460 Features • Designed and engineered in the U.S.A. • Unregulated MOSFET Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) power supply for extended dynamic range with soft-start circuitry • Main B+ Input filtering (Pi type filter) • High current driver and output stage transistors •... -
Page 4: Installation
Installation Before you begin the installation of your POWER series amp remember, there are two ways to do things – right and twice! Use the proper installation techniques, tools and accessories to insure that your Jensen POWER series amp will put out all the power it was designed to. - Page 5 JPA460 Disconnect Battery Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable before starting the installation. Check the battery ground (there should be two (2) ground wires coming from the battery - one going to the starter mounting bolt or engine block and another going to the vehicle chassis) and make sure the battery is grounded to the chassis with at least a #8 gauge wire.

Page 6: Wiring
Wiring Charging System The installation of just one (1) JPA460 amplifier could be enough to overload your factory electrical system. You may need to upgrade your alternator and battery. Once the battery is used to start your vehicle, the alternator is responsible for keeping all the electrical devices in your vehicle supplied with the proper power, including your amplifiers. - Page 7 JPA460 Power Terminal (+12V) Connect the main power wire to the battery, within 18 inches from the positive (+) battery post, using an adequate size fuse or circuit breaker capable of handling the current of the selected power wire. A fuse or circuit breaker must be installed to prevent a possible electrical fire should the main power wire short to ground.
- Page 8 Wiring (continued) Speaker Wiring (SPEAKER) The Speaker Wiring diagrams illustrate options for connecting speakers and subwoofers. NOTE: Do not overlook the use of the proper gauge speaker wire. The JPA460 requires a minimum of 16- gauge wire.

- Page 10 RCA Wiring NOTE: The use of good quality RCA cables is just as important as power and speaker wire. Choose a high quality low capacitance cable for the best results. Pass-Thru RCA Outputs The output signal allows you to conveniently connect other amplifiers to each other.
- Page 11 JPA460 High Level Input (HI-INPUT) High level input should be used when an RCA output is not available from the receiver. Connect the speaker outputs from the receiver to the high level input connector. NOTE: Connect either the low (RCA) OR high-level input –...

Page 12: Indicators And Controls
Indicators and Controls Power Indicator ( The power indicator provides a visual indication that the amplifier is turned on. Input Level Control (LEVEL) The input level control matches the output of your radio to the input of the amplifier. After the installation is complete, make sure the input level control on the amplifier is turned down all the way (counter-clockwise or all the way to the left). - Page 13 JPA460 Low Pass Filter (LPF) The Low Pass Filter controls adjust the crossover point from 40Hz to 250Hz. Typical crossover is between 60Hz and 80Hz for ported and sealed enclosures. Bandpass boxes will typically use a higher crossover setting between 125Hz and 175Hz.

Page 14: Testing
Stand-by Indicator (STAND-BY) The stand-by indicator provides a visual indication that a problem exists and the protection circuitry has protected the amplifier by shutting it down. Turn the system off and correct the problem before turning the system on again. Thermal Protection: The amplifier will shut down if its temperature exceeds a safe operating level. -
