Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

Where should I install the JL Audio XDM200/2 marine amplifier?

The amplifier should be installed in a dry, well-ventilated location. Ensure the chosen location does not interfere with factory-installed systems. Avoid installing the amplifier in the engine compartment, in areas of extreme heat, or where it would be directly exposed to the elements.

What precautions should be taken before installing the amplifier?

Before any installation, power off the audio system and disconnect the battery system from the audio system. It is also important to check for any potential obstacles behind the mounting surfaces before cutting or drilling.

Which type of wiring is recommended for the positive power supply (+12VDC) of the amplifier?

For the positive power (+12VDC) connection, a 4 AWG gauge cable is recommended. An 8 AWG gauge cable is the minimum acceptable. It is crucial to install a 20A fuse at the battery's positive terminal.

What circuit protection is required for the main power wiring?

A suitable fuse or circuit breaker is vital for the safety of the vehicle or vessel. It must be installed within 45 cm (18 inches) of the battery’s positive connection. For ABYC and NMEA applications, circuit protection is required within 18 cm (7 inches) of the battery unless the cable is enclosed in a conduit or enclosure.

How to safely route amplifier cables?

Route all system cables carefully away from moving parts and sharp edges. Secure them with cable ties or clamps and use grommets and sleeves where necessary to protect them from sharp edges.

Is professional installation of the XDM200/2 amplifier recommended?

Yes, installing the amplifier requires tools and appropriate safety equipment. Professional installation is strongly recommended to ensure correct and secure setup.

What are the minimum impedance requirements for speakers connected to the amplifier?

Minimum load impedance for speakers is 2 ohms in stereo mode and 4 ohms in bridged mode.

Is the JL Audio XDM200/2 amplifier compatible with all marine electrical systems?

This amplifier is designed for use only with 12-volt negative-ground electrical systems. It is not certified or approved for use in aircraft.

What types of input signals does the XDM200/2 amplifier accept?

The amplifier accepts an input voltage ranging from 200 mV to 4 V via the RCA inputs (CH. 1 Input for the left signal and CH. 2 Input for the right signal).

Can I connect an optional remote level controller to this amplifier?

Yes, the amplifier has a connection for an optional remote level controller (HD-RLC or MHD-RLC). This controller functions only as an attenuator, allowing you to adjust the sound level.

Can the amplifier power on automatically with OEM audio signals?

Yes, the amplifier offers two automatic power-on modes:

DC Offset-Sensing: It activates by detecting a small DC voltage in the OEM audio outputs. This mode is designed for high-level signals (speaker only) and detects the input signal only from channel 1 (L). Signal-Sensing: It activates by detecting full-band OEM audio signals. Using these methods turns the "Remote" terminal into a +12V power-on output.
