Tatūnga me te Tāuta
Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance and longevity of your JL Audio JX 500/1 amplifier. Always disconnect the vehicle's battery before beginning any installation work.
Tauranga Maunga
Kōwhiria he wāhi whakairi e whakarato ana i te hauhautanga e tika ana mō amplifier. Avoid enclosed spaces that can trap heat. Ensure the ampKa whakamauhia te taputapu whakakā ki tētahi mata totoka hei ārai i te nekehanga i te wā e whakahaerehia ana te waka.
Hononga Mana
- Power (12V): Connect a high-quality power cable directly from the positive terminal of the vehicle's battery to the amplifier's 12V input terminal. Use a fuse holder with an appropriate fuse (not supplied) as close to the battery as possible.
- Papa (GND): Connect a high-quality ground cable from the ampte tauranga GND a lifier ki te mata whakarewa ma, kaore ano kia pania o te tahuhu o te waka. Me whakarite he hononga totoka, iti-atete.
- Mamao (REM): Honoa he waea whakahuri mamao mai i te putanga mamao o to upoko ki te ampte pito REM o te kaiwhakaora. Ka tohu tēnei waea i te amppūwhakakā hei whakakā, hei whakaweto hoki me tō waeine upoko.

Hononga Whakauru Ororongo
- Ngā Whakauru Taumata-Iti (RCA): For head units with RCA pre-outs, connect RCA cables from the head unit's subwoofer or full-range outputs to the amplifier's "Low-Level Inputs".
- Ngā Tāuru Taumata-Teitei: If your head unit does not have RCA pre-outs, use the "Hi-Level Inputs" by connecting speaker wires directly from your head unit's speaker outputs to these terminals.
Hononga Putanga Tukuoro
Connect your subwoofer(s) to the "Mono Subwoofer Output" terminals. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -) for optimal sound performance. Refer to your subwoofer's specifications for impedance matching.

Te whakahaere i te Ampkaikawe
Once installed, the JL Audio JX 500/1 amplifier offers several adjustments to fine-tune your audio system.
Nga Mana me nga Tohu
This image focuses on the control panel of the JL Audio JX500/1 amplifier. It displays the Power/Protect indicators, Filter Freq. knob, Input Sens. knob, High-Level Inputs, Low-Level Inputs (RCA), Remote Level Control port, and Bass Boost knob, providing a clear view of all user-adjustable settings.
- Tohu Hiko/Tiaki: A light indicator that shows the amplifier's operational status. Typically, green for power on, red for protection mode (e.g., overheating, short circuit).
- Filter Freq. (Hz): This knob adjusts the low-pass filter frequency, typically from 50 Hz to 200 Hz. This filter allows only frequencies below the set point to pass through to the subwoofer, preventing higher frequencies from distorting the bass.
- Input Sens.: Adjusts the input sensitivity (gain) of the ampwhakaea ki te taurite ki te putanga voltage of your head unit. Start with the knob at minimum and slowly increase until desired volume is achieved without distortion.
- Whakarei i te Bass: Provides an adjustable bass boost from 0 to +12 dB at 45 Hz. Use this feature sparingly to enhance bass response without overdriving your subwoofer.
- Mana Taumata Mamao: Port for connecting the optional RBC-1 bass remote, allowing convenient adjustment of the subwoofer level from the driver's seat.
Te tiaki
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your JL Audio JX 500/1 amplifier, whai i enei aratohu tiaki:
- Pupuri Ma: Me horoi i nga wa katoa ampHoroia te taha waho o te mīhini horoi ki te kakahu ngohengohe, maroke hei tango i te puehu me ngā paru. Āta karohia te whakamahi i ngā matū kaha, i ngā kaihoroi whakakoi rānei.
- Me whakarite te hau: Ia wā tirohia te amplifier's cooling fins are free from obstructions. Proper airflow is essential to prevent overheating, especially during extended use or in hot climates.
- Taki Hononga: Occasionally inspect all power, ground, remote, and speaker connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion. Loose connections can lead to poor performance or damage.
- A ape i te utaina nui: Kaua e whakahaere i te amplifier beyond its specified power ratings or with speaker impedances lower than recommended. This can cause excessive heat and potential damage.
