Product Description
This is a two-channel, full-range Class D amplifier equipped with the second generation of JL Audio's NexD2" high-speed switching technology. It is engineered to deliver reference-grade audio amplification with outstanding efficiency and unprecedented, built-in processing power. Instead of traditional analog processing controlled by knoos and switches, VSG amplifiers feature an integrated DSP (Digital Signal Processor). The amplifier and its integrated DSP are configured using an external device IPC, Tablet or iPhone, with the appropriate JL Audio TUN" application installed. See What Is TUN" section for more info.
Planning Your Installation
It is important that you take the time to read this manual thoroughly and that you plan your installation carefully. It is very easy to damage expensive vehicle systems in modern automobiles. Never assume that you have found appropriate wires without consulting a reliable wiring diagram, or without analyzing with proper test equipment. If you are uncomfortable or unfamiliar with reading diagrams or testing methods, please enlist the services of your authorized 2L Audio dealer to perform the installation. Your authorized dealer has the training expertise and installation equipment to ensure optimum performance from this product. The following are some considerations that you must take into account when planning your installation.

• Install your amplifier in a dry, well-ventilated location that
does not interfere with your vehicle's safety equipment
all bags, seal belt systems, ABS brake system Do not mount the amplittes in the engine
compartment or in any areas of extreme heat
- Securely mount the amplifier so that it does not come
loose in the event of a collision'sudden jolt or as a result
of repeated vibrations during normal operation.
- Check before drilling to make sure that you will not be drilling into
a fuel tank, gas/brake line, wiring harness, or other vital system.
- Do not run system wiring outside or underthest in the electrical line. This is an external necessary unit
vehicle vessel. This is an extremely dangerous which can result in severe damage/disrupt.
• Take the necessary precautions when making
connections to the vehicle's battery.
- Protect all system wires from sharp edges by carefully routing them.
lying them down and using grominets and loom where appropriate.
- Secure all wiring as needed, using cable ties or wire clamps
to protect them from moving parts and sharp edges.
Cooling Efficiency Considerations
The outer shell of your JL Audio amplifier is designed to remove heat from the amplifier circuitry. For optimum cooling performance, this outer shell should be exposed to as large a volume of air as possible. Enclosing the amplifier in a small, poorly ventilated chamber can lead to excessive heat build-up and degraded performance. If an installation calls for an enclosure around the amplifier, we recommend that this enclosure be ventilated with the air of a tan. In normal applications, fan cooling is not necessary. If mounting the amplifier under a seat, make sure there is at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space above the amplifier's outer shell to permit proper cooling.

JL Audio Badge
To complement the amplifier's mounting orientation, the logo badge includes a recessed key feature allowing it to be affixed at 90 degree increments on the amplifier's top. To install, remove the adhesive backing and press the badge at the desired orientation.
1 Power Connector
The VX500/2's +12 VOC and "Ground" connections are designed to accept 4 AWG copper wire. Note: Copper Clad Aluminum (CCA) wire is not recommended. A AWG is the required copper wire wire for this amplification.
A. For applications from the positive (-1.0)/batterboard to the appi
- Run copper wire from the positive (1-20) battery plate to the amplifier mounting location. If additional amplifiers are being installed, run the appropriate gauge copper wire for the combined, maximum current draw, and install a fused distribution block near the amplifiers.
B. An appropriate fuse (sold separately) at the main power wire[s] is
vital for vehicle safety. This fuse must be installed within 18 inches.
(45 cm) of the battery post connection. If this is the only device con
nected to this main wire, use a 50 A fuse. Do not install the fuse until
the power wire has been securely connected to the amplifier.
C. The ground connection should be made to a clean, solid metal grounding point using copper wire, and kept as short as possible. The metal surface of the grounding point should be sanded to create a clean, metal-to-metal connection. For optimal grounding, we recommend using a JL Audio ECS master ground lug (XB-MGLV). All ground connections (source unit and amplifiers) should be made at the same location.
D. The remote connection should be made to the source unit's positive (+12V) remote turn-on output. If your source unit does not have a dedicated remote turn-on output, consider one of the alternative turn-on options (See Turn-On Mode section for more info.)
2 Analog Input/Pre-Out Harness
The Analog Input Harness accepts the following connections:
Line-Level Analog Inputs: Two female RCA jacks feed a differential balanced input section, providing a high degree of input flexibility, and retaining superior noise rejection. This type of input architecture also allows the VX600/21 to cleanly accept any analog audio signal up to 16 VRMS, without using a line-output converter.
Preamp Outputs: Two female, RCA jacks deliver line level, analog audio outputs (Max 4V RMS) that are compatible with most types of aftermarket equipment. These are configured with the TUN Software Interface.
Remote: This connection provides a positive (1.12V) turn on voltage (475 mA limit) to activate other aftermarket equipment (similar to an aftermarket head unit's remote turn on leads).
Vallet: When connected to negative ground, this connection activates the Vallet Mode Preset and will remain active until the ground connection is removed. This preset is configured using the TUN Software Interface and will override any DRC controlled preset.
Corner Cap Installation and Removal
The corner caps are designed to conceal the amplifier's mounting holes and hardware. To install, simply press a corner cap into each mounting hole. To avoid scratching the amplifier's chassis during removal, use the included, plastic corner cap tool and lift below each cap.
Making Connections
VXI amplifiers utilize removable plugs and harnesses to make the
following connections:
•PowerConnector
To connect the power, ground and remote turn-on wires to the amplifier, back out the set screws on the connector using the supplied hex wrenches. Strip back 5/8 inch (10 mm) of insulation from the end of each wire and insert the bare wire into the receptacle on the power connector plug, testing it firmly so that no bare wire is exposed. While holding each wire in place, tighten each set screw firmly, taking care not to strip the head of the screw. Install the power connector by plugging it into the amplifier's power connector receptacle, pushing firmly.
- Analog Input/Pre-Out Harness
This harness includes connections for Signal Input (RCA plugs), Preamp Outputs (RCA plugs), Remote Turn-On Output (wire lead) and Voxel Input (wire lead). Select either the included black hex cap machine screws or the silver thumscrews to secure the Analog Input Harness connector to the amplifier.
• Speaker Output Harness
This harness includes output wire leads to connect with speaker cables
Turn-On Mode
VXI amplifiers can be switched on and off using one of three methods, configured by the "Turn On Mode" setting in the TaN™ Software Interface. Refer to the table below for detailed info and decide which option is best suited for your specific system.
