INSTALLATION

THANK YOU

for purchasing a JBL marine amplifier. In order that we may better serve you should you require warranty service for your new amplifier, please retain your original purchase receipt and register your new JBL amplifier online at www.jbl.com.

WARNING

Playing loud music in a boat can hinder your ability to hear other boats, passengers and nearby swimmers and can permanently damage your hearing. We recommend listening at low or moderate levels while operating your boat. JBL accepts no liability for hearing loss, bodily injury or property damage resulting from the use or misuse of this product.

IMPORTANT

To get the best performance from your JBL marine amplifiers, we strongly recommend that installation be entrusted to a qualified professional. Although these instructions explain how to install these amplifiers in a general sense, they do not show specific installation methods that may be required for your particular application. If you do not have the necessary tools or experience, do not attempt the installation yourself. Instead, ask your authorized JBL car audio or marine audio dealer about professional installation.

NOTE: This marine product is not intended for automotive applications.

INSTALLATION WARNINGS AND TIPS

•Always wear protective eyewear when using tools.

•Turn off the audio system and other electrical devices before you start. Disconnect the (–) negative lead from your boat’s battery.

•At the installation sites, locate and make a note of all fuel lines, hydraulic brake lines, vacuum lines and electrical wiring. Use extreme caution when cut- ting or drilling in and around these areas.

•Check clearances on both sides of a planned mounting surface before drilling any holes or installing any screws. Remember that the screws can extend behind the surface. Do not use screws long enough to penetrate the boat’s hull.

•Before drilling or cutting holes, use a utility knife to remove unwanted fabric or vinyl to keep material from snagging in a drill bit.

•When routing cables, keep input-signal cables away from power cables and speaker wires.

•When making connections, make certain they are secure and properly insulated.

•If the amplifier’s fuse must be replaced, use only the same type and rating as that of the original. Do not substitute another kind.

CHOOSING A LOCATION AND MOUNTING THE AMPLIFIER

Choose a mounting location in the cargo area where the amplifier will not be damaged by shifting cargo or water. Although these JBL marine amps are designed for use on a boat, they will not withstand submersion. Amplifier cooling is essential for proper amplifier operation. If the amplifier is to be installed in an enclosed space, make sure there is sufficient air circulation for the amplifier to cool itself.

Make sure that the amplifier is mounted securely using nuts and bolts or the supplied mounting screws.
