amp) level inputs to the amplifier.
2. Preamp-Level Output Connector –
Use these outputs to send
signal to additional amplifiers.
3. Speaker-Level Input Connector –
Use this connector for speaker level
input signals. A wire harness is
supplied for use with this
connector. See “Audio Input
Connections” section (page 23) for
wiring instructions. This input also
includes JBL’s Common Sense
input circuitry which turns the
amplifier on as soon as the high
powered head unit connected to
this input is turned on.

switch to F (flat) for full-band
operation for that group. Set the
switch to L (low) to activate the low-
pass filter on the pre-amp output
group (for subwoofer use or to use
in conjunction with a high-pass
filtered input signal to create a
bandpass crossover for a midrange
or midbass driver). Set the switch to
High-Pass to activate the high-pass
filter for use with satellite speakers
or tweeters on the pre-amp output
group.
