Frequently Asked Questions - XDM6006 JL Audio
What is the power of the JL Audio XDM6006 amplifier?
The amplifier delivers 75 W RMS x 6 at 4 Ω at 14.4 V, and up to 200 W RMS x 3 in bridged mode at 4 Ω.
What type of power cable is needed for the XDM6006?
A 4 AWG copper cable is required for power and ground. CCA (copper-clad aluminum) wire is not recommended.
Is the XDM6006 compatible with high-level input signals?
Yes, the inputs are balanced-differential and accept 200 mV to 4 V RMS, allowing use with speaker-level outputs from car radios.
How do I adjust the input sensitivity of the amplifier?
Use an AC voltmeter and a reference sine wave (50 Hz for subwoofer, 1 kHz for full-range). Follow the 9-step procedure in the manual to adjust the Input Sens. potentiometers without distortion.
Can I use automatic turn-on mode?
Yes, the XDM6006 offers three modes: Remote (wired), DC Offset (DC signal detection), and Signal (audio signal detection). The Offset mode is designed for high-level signals.
What types of filters are available on the XDM6006?
Each pair of channels (1/2, 3/4, 5/6) has an active 12 dB/octave filter adjustable from 50 to 500 Hz, with Off, HP (high-pass), or LP (low-pass) modes.
Is the amplifier water resistant?
Yes, it is water resistant but must not be submerged or subjected to high-pressure water jets. If possible, install it in a dry, well-ventilated location.
What should I do if the status light turns red or orange?
The red light indicates overheating (audio output is reduced), orange indicates overcurrent (possible short circuit). Check speaker impedance and connections.
What is the minimum speaker impedance in stereo and bridged mode?
In stereo mode, the minimum impedance is 2 ohms. In bridged mode, it is 4 ohms (8 ohms recommended for optimal power).
Where can I download the full manual for the XDM6006?
The manual is available for free download in PDF format on the notice-facile.com website in several languages.

• This product is water-resistant. Do not submerge or subject to high-pressure water spray.
- Before installation, turn off the audio system and disconnect the battery system from the audio system.
- When possible, install in a dry, well-ventilated location that does not interfere with factory-installed systems. If a dry environment is not available, a location that is not exposed to heavy splashing may be used.
- Do not install in the engine compartment, any areas of extreme heat or where it will be directly exposed to the elements.
- Before cutting or drilling, check for potential obstacles behind mounting surfaces.
- Carefully route all system wiring away moving parts and sharp edges; secure with cable ties or wire clamps and use grommets and loom where appropriate to protect from sharp edges.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
- Only use this product with 12 volt, negative-ground electrical systems. This product is not certified or approved for use in aircraft.
- Mount this product securely to prevent damage or injury in severe conditions.
- An appropriate fuse (or circuit breaker) at the main power wire is vital for vehicle/vessel safety and must be installed within 18 inches (45 cm) of the positive battery connection.
- For ABYC and NMEA applications, circuit protection is required within 7 inches (18 cm) of the battery, unless the cable is in an enclosure or conduit.

APPENDIX A:
Input Sensitivity Level Setting
Follow the steps below to adjust the input sensitivity of each amplifier
channel pair to achieve overall system balance.
Necessary Equipment
| Digital AC Voltmeter |
| Sine-wave test tone recorded at 0 dBfs reference level in the frequency range to be amplified. |
| Do not use attenuated test tones (-10 dB, -20 dB, etc.). |
| Full range channel/amplifier applications: 1 kHz |
| Subwoofer channel/amplifier applications: 50 Hz |
| Depending on your type of source unit, the sine-wave may be played via a CD, USB thumb drive, portable media player or Bluetooth® audio source. Make sure to disable any FQ/DSP modes on your portable media player during level setting. |
The Nine-Step Procedure
| 1. Disconnect the speaker(s) from the amplifier's speaker output connectors. |
| 2. Turn off all processing (bass/treble, loudness, EQ, etc.) on the source unit, processors (if used), and amplifier. Set the factor control to center position and the subwoofer level control to 3/4 of maximum, if used. |
| 3. Turn all "Input Sens." controls all the way down. |
| 4. Set the source unit volume to 3/4 of full volume. This will allow for reasonable gain overlap with moderate clipping at full volume. |
| 5. Using the chart below, determine the target voltage for input sensitivity adjustment according to the nominal impedance of the speaker system connected to the amplifier outputs. |
| 6. Verify that you have disconnected the speakers before proceeding. Play a track with an appropriate sine wave (within the frequency range to be amplified) at 3/4 source unit volume. |
| 7. Connect the AC voltmeter to the speaker output terminals of the amplifier. If the channel pair is operating in stereo, it is only necessary to measure one channel. If bridged, make sure you test the voltage at the correct terminals (L+ and R-). |
| 8. Increase the "Input Sens." control until the target voltage is observed with the voltmeter. |
| 9. Once you have adjusted each channel section to its maximum low-distortion output level, reconnect the speaker(s). The "Input Sens." controls can now be adjusted downward if the amplifier requires attenuation to achieve the desired system balance. |
| IMPORTANT! |
| • Do not increase any "Input Sens" setting for any amplifier channel or channel pair in the system beyond the maximum level established during this procedure. Doing so will result in audible distortion and possible speaker damage. |
| • It will be necessary to re-adjust the "Input Sens." if any equalizer boost is activated after setting the "Input Sens." with this procedure. This applies to any EQ boost circuit, including source unit tone controls or EQ circuits. EQ cuts will not require re-adjustment. |
| Nominal Impedance | Target AC Voltage | |
| Stereo | Bridged | |
| 8Ω | 17.2 V | 34.6 V |
| 4Ω | 17.3 V | 28.2 V |
