1) "Power" (Green): lights to indicate that the
amplifier is turned on and operating normally.
2) "Protect" (Red): Indicates that the amplifier
protection circuitry has been activated to
prevent product failure due to a short-circuit
or a dangerously low impedance connected to
the amplifier output(s). Connecting the speaker
outputs to an impedance lower than 2 ohms
will cause this protection mode to activate.
When this protection mode is activated, the
amplifier will reduce it maximum power
output to protect its circuitry, which will
manifest itself as increased distortion. When
the problem is corrected, the amplifier will
return to normal operation.
advanced rollback thermal protection
Unlike conventional thermal protection
systems, which shut down an amplifier when it
overheats, this system protects the amplifier by
gradually reducing power output if the amplifier's
safe operating temperature is exceeded. The
amplifier will continue to operate and return
to normal power output once its temperature
returns to a normal range.

low-Voltage protection:
If the car's supply voltage drops below 10
volts, the entire amplifier will shut itself off to
protect its internal circuitry. The green "Power"
indicator will turn off when this occurs. The
amplifier will turn back on when voltage climbs
back above 10 volts. This may happen in a rapid
cycle when bass-heavy program material causes
a weak charging system to dip below 10 volts

serViCing Your Jl audio amPliFier
If your amplifier fails or malfunctions, please
return it to your authorized JL Audio dealer so
that it may be sent in to JL Audio for service.
There are no user serviceable parts or fuses inside
the amplifier. The unique nature of the circuitry
in the JL Audio amplifiers requires specifically
trained service personnel. Do not attempt
to service the amplifier yourself or through
unauthorized repair facilities. This will not only
void the warranty, but may result in the creation
of more problems within the amplifier.
If you have any questions about the installation or
setup of the amplifier not covered in this manual,
please contact your dealer or technical support.
