speaker and input connections
Always connect the (+) speaker terminal on the amplifier to the (+) terminal on the speaker and the (–) speaker terminal on the amplifier to the (–) terminal
on the speaker.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the (+) and (–) bare wires do not touch each other or the other terminal at both the amplifier terminals and speaker
terminals. Touching wires can cause a short circuit that can damage the amplifier.

GX-A604 Input connections: 4-channel operation
Connect your source unit or processor’s front and rear left and right outputs to the amplifier’s inputs as shown in the illustration.
Source Unit
See Set The Crossover Controls, on page 20, for information about setting the amplifier’s controls for 4-channel operation.
To use the speaker-level inputs instead of the line-level inputs, see Using The Speaker-Level Inputs, on page 12.

GX-A604 Speaker Connections: 3-channel operation
Minimum speaker impedance: 2 ohms each (left & right speakers); 4 ohms (subwoofer)
• Connect the left and right speakers to the FL and FR (+) and (–) terminals
• Connect the subwoofer to the RL (+) and RR (–) terminals. (The rear-channel Bass Boost control makes the rear channels preferable for subwoofer
connection. See Set The Bass Boost, on page 23.) NOTE: You can connect two 2-ohm subwoofers in series to maintain the required 4-ohm
mimimum impedance for the subwoofer channel.

GX-A604 input connections: 3-channel operation
Connect your source unit or processor’s line outputs as shown in the illustration below. Set the input mode switch in the "4CH" position
NOTE: Use a "Y"-adapter to connect the source unit’s subwoofer output to the amplifier’s rear left and right input jacks.

troubleshooting
If your amplifier isn’t performing the way you think is should, check to see if the problem is covered in this section before calling your dealer or
contacting JBL customer service.
No sound (the amplifier’s Power LED is off) • Check that the amplifier’s +12 V and GND connections have been properly made.
• Check
if the fuse on the +12 V wire located near the battery is blown: If so, replace it with an
identical fuse.
• Check all amplifier fuses; if any are blown, replace them with identical fuses.
• If
you are using the amplifier’s REM connection for turn-on, check that the wire is properly
connected to the audio system’s remote turn-on wire or to the vehicle’s ACC power terminal.
No sound (the amplifier’s Power LED is orange) • Check that all amplifier input and speaker connections have been properly made.
• Check that the amplifier’s Level controls are not turned all the way down (counter-clockwise).
• Check
that the vehicle audio system’s source unit’s volume control is not turned all the way
down.
No sound (the amplifier’s Protection LED is red) • Confirm that the vehicle’s electrical system is supplying between 9 V and 16 V DC to the
amplifier. If the supply voltage is outside of this range, correct the condition before attempting to
use the amplifier.
• If the amplifier has overheated, wait until it has cooled down before attempting to use it again.
• Disconnect all speakers from the amplifier and attempt to turn it on again:
– If
the amplifier turns on (the Power LED is orange), there is a short circuit in one or more of the
speaker wires. Correct all short circuits before reconnecting the speakers to the amplifier.
– If
the amplifier does not turn on (the Protection LED is still red and the Power LED is off),
contact your authorized JBL dealer for assistance.
