Frequently Asked Questions - VX600/1i JL Audio

What gauge power wire should I use for the VX600/1i?
Use 4 AWG power wire for the main connection from battery to amplifier. Ensure the wire is fused within 18 inches of the battery with a 50A fuse (sold separately).
How do I turn on the amplifier without a remote wire?
The VX600/1i supports three turn-on modes: Conventional (using a +12V remote wire), DC Offset (detects DC voltage on speaker outputs), and Digital Signal Sampling (detects digital audio signal). Select the mode in the TUN software interface.
Can I use high-level speaker inputs with this amplifier?
Yes, the analog input harness accepts line-level signals up to 16V RMS, which can handle high-level outputs from factory head units without a line-output converter. The inputs are differential-balanced for noise rejection.
How do I configure the built-in DSP?
Use the TUN software, available for Windows, Mac, iPad, Android, and iPhone. Connect via USB (computer) or Bluetooth (with optional VX-BTC module). The software allows full control over crossover, EQ, time alignment, and output routing.
What is the purpose of the DIGITAL-Out port?
The DIGITAL-Out port outputs a pass-through digital audio signal (optical Toslink, 24-bit/96 kHz) from the amplifier's input. It can be used to daisy-chain to another amplifier or processor with optical input, and its routing, EQ, and level can be configured in TUN software.
How do I reset the amplifier to factory defaults?
Lift the dust cover on the SD & Reset panel. Use a small pin to press and hold the left button for 7 seconds. This wipes memory and reboots the amplifier. A quick press of the right button reboots without resetting settings.
What is the Valet Mode and how do I activate it?
Valet Mode activates a preset configured in TUN software when the Valet wire (green) is connected to ground. It overrides the DRC controller preset. Disconnect ground to deactivate. Useful for limiting output when valet parking.
What are the dimensions and weight of the VX600/1i?
Dimensions and weight are not specified in the manual. However, it is a compact monoblock amplifier designed for under-seat or trunk mounting. Approximate dimensions: 10 x 7 x 2 inches (based on typical JL Audio monoblock amplifiers). Contact JL Audio for exact figures.
Can I bridge this amplifier to a single subwoofer?
The VX600/1i is a monoblock amplifier, designed to power a single subwoofer load. It has a single set of output terminals (positive and negative). No bridging is needed; it is already a mono amplifier.
How do I update the firmware on the amplifier?
To update firmware, enter DFU (Device Firmware Update) mode by pressing and releasing both Reset buttons simultaneously. Follow the TUN software prompts or JL Audio instructions for firmware updates. The micro SD slot on the SD & Reset panel may also be used for future expansion.

This product is not certified or approved for use in aircraft.

Product Description

This is a monatlock, Class D subwoofer amplifier equipped with the second generation of JL Audio's NexD™ 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 knots 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 wics 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 IT. 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.

Safety Considerations

• Install your amplifier in a dry, well-ventilated location that

does not interfere with your vehicle's safety equipment.

air bags, seat belt systems, ABS brake system

- Do not mount the amplifier in the engine

compartment or in any areas of extreme heat.

- Security should the amplifier so that it does not call to loose in the event of a collision's rider-off 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 underneath the

vehicle/vessel. This is an extremely dangerous practice,

which can result in severe damage/injury.

• Take the necessary precautions when making connections to the vehicle's battery.

- Project all system wires from sharp edges by carefully routing them.

wing them down and using rommets 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 or air as possible. Enclosing the amplifier in a small, poorly ventilated chamber tan 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 ate 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

run 4 AWG power wire from the positive (1-12V) battery post to the amplifier mounting location. If additional amplifiers are being installed, run the appropriate gauge power wire for the combined maximum current draw, and install a fused distribution block near the amplifiers.

II. 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 connected 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 1 AWIC wire, and kept as short as possible. The metal surface at 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 MGLU). 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 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 V3600/11 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 (+12V) turn-on voltage (175 mA limit) to activate other aftermarket equipment (similar to an aftermarket head unit's remote turn-on lead).

Valet: When connected to negative ground, this connection activates the Valet. 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

• Power Connector and Subwoofer Output Connector

To connect the power, ground, remote turn-on and subscriber output wires to the amplifier, back out the set screws on each connector using the supplied hex wrenches. Strip back 3/8 inch (10 mm) of insulation from the end of each wire and insert the bare wire into the receptacle on the power connector plug, setting it firmly so that no bare wire is exposed. While holding each wire in place, tighten each set screw firmly, taking care not to stop the head of the screw. Install each connector by plugging it into the amplifier's corresponding receptacle, pushing firmly.

- Analog Input 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.
