Subwoofer Outputs - JL Audio XD700/5v2 Owner's Manual

This option is used when deploying a pair of
the XD700/5v2's main channels to drive left
channel speakers only and the other pair of
the XD700/5v2's main channels to drive right
channel speakers only.
2) Left + Right Channel Information: When
bridged and fed by a stereo source signal, a
bridged pair of the XD700/5v2's channels will
automatically combine the left and right input
signals into a summed mono (left + right)
input signal.

SUBWOOFER OUTPUTS

The XD700/5v2's single subwoofer channel is
designed to deliver power into subwoofer loads
equal to or greater than 2 ohms. It is rated for
300W into 2 ohms, 250W into 3 ohms and 200W
into 4 ohms (Continuous Power, RMS Method).
Subwoofer loads below 2 ohms nominal are not
recommended and may cause the amplifier
to initiate a protection mode which reduces
power output.
The XD700/5v2's subwoofer outputs are
designed to accept 16 AWG - 8 AWG wire. To
connect the subwoofer wires to the amplifier, first
back out the set screws on the top of the terminal
block, using the supplied 2.5 mm hex wrench.
Strip 1/2 inch (12 mm) of insulation from the
end of each wire and insert the bare wire into the
terminal block, seating it firmly so that no bare
wire is exposed. While holding the wire in place,
tighten the set screw firmly, taking care not to
strip the head of the screw.
You will notice that there are two "+" positive
connections and two "–" negative connections.
This is to facilitate multiple subwoofer wiring.
The two positive and two negative
connections are connected in parallel inside
the amplifier They are not stereo outputs.
Connecting two subwoofers, each to one set
of positive and negative terminals, will result
in a parallel subwoofer connection. If only
connecting one pair of subwoofer wires, it is
not necessary to use both sets of connections.
