All tests to be done, unless otherwise specified, from 10Hz to 40KHz at 14.4V DC into 4 ohm loads and adjust
the units gain so that with a .250 volt input signal the unit is at its maximum rated output. All measurements
will be done using an Audio precision system one and the supply voltage.

Signal Source
Unless otherwise specified, all tests shall be conducted with the Audio Signal Generator output configured to
be balanced, less than or equal to 50 ohm source impedance, and floating. The signal source "GND" shall be
connected to the Amplifier PWR GND at the Amplifier.

Output Load
Unless otherwise specified, all tests shall be conducted with 4 ohm resistive loads having less than 10%
reactive components at any frequency below 75KHz. Each resistor shall have a value that remains within 1%
while dissipating the rated output of the unit under test.

Controls and Connections
Mounting the Amplifier
1. It allows left and right input channels to be
connected to be amplifier using RCA plugs.
2. Speaker Output Connector - Connect speaker
wiring to these connectors. See wiring instruc-
tions on page 4 for more information.
3. Fuse - Three 40 Amp ATC type Fuses.
The JBL GTI Series amplifiers can be mounted in virtually any location inside the vehicle.
However, make sure to keep the amplifier away from heater vents or ducts.
However, make sure to keep the amplifier away from heater vents or ducts.
1. At the chosen site, use the amplifier as a mounting template and mark the locations of the
four mounting holes.
four mounting holes.
2. Drill a small pilot hole at each marked location.
3. Mount the amplifier and securely tighten the mounting screws.
4. Power Connection for 12V+, GND and REM
connections for power wires. See wiring instruc-
tions on page 4 for more information.
5. Input-Level Control - Adjusts input sensitivity
for pre-amp level and speaker level inputs.
6. The electronic crossover is a 24dB/oct.
Low pass filter which can be Set at any frequency
between 30Hz and 320Hz.
