  • Page 3: General Amplification Notes & Requirements

    • Users may choose to use the same size amplifier to power all components / passbands. • DSP crossover presets provided by JBL assume that the same amplifier models with equal voltage gain, are used for each bandpass.
  • Page 4: Subwoofer Wiring Notes

    NOTES ON SUBWOOFER WIRING • VT4880: Users may choose to wire both 2258 (18”) components in parallel to one (1) channel of a MA-3600 or MA-5002 for (4) ohms load. In this case each amplifier channel drives one VT4880. If two VT4880 are wired in parallel, the load is two ohms and there will be no amplifier power headroom.
  • Page 5: Limiter Settings Notes

    NOTES REGARDING LIMITER SETTINGS • The recommended limiter threshold settings provide 3 dB of headroom before the component or bandpass peak voltage is reached. • The component or bandpass peak voltage is 6 dB above the voltage used at continuous maximum power. •...
