APPLICATIONS – BPX MODELS
To the right are several application 
diagrams to help plan your subwoofer
system installation. Figures 1 through 3
show how to configure the JBL Power
Series subwoofer amplifiers (models
BPx500.1, BPx1100.1 and BPx2200.1) for
2-channel, bridged-mono and 
parallel-mono operation (also see
“Setting the Output Mode” on page 6). 
NOTE: For simplicity, Figures 1 through 3
do not show power, remote and input
connections.
If the nominal impedance of your
speaker system is close to 2 ohms, be
prepared to try both bridged and
parallel configurations to determine
which performs better.

Figure 1. The JBL Power Series
subwoofer amplifier is set to 
2-channel mode to drive a pair
of subwoofers. 
Figure 2. The JBL Power Series
subwoofer amplifier is set to
bridged (mono) mode to drive 
a single subwoofer. Use this
mode only when the nominal
impedance of the speaker 
system is 2 ohms or greater. 
Figure 3. The JBL Power Series
subwoofer amplifier is set to
parallel mode to drive a single
subwoofer. Use this mode only
when the nominal impedance
of the speaker system is less
than 2 ohms.
NOTE: A jumper is added
between the + terminals.
