JBL G SUB 10 Owner's Manual - Connections

CONNECTIONS
CAUTION: Before making any
connections to your subwoofer,
make sure the power to your
entire system is OFF.
POWER
Plug the power cord into a grounded
wall outlet or the accessory outlet on
the back of your amplifier/receiver.
INPUTS
Your G Sub10 subwoofer has
both line-level and speaker-level
input connections. Review your
receiver/TV/source amplifier
instruction manual to see which
outputs your equipment provides,
then follow the appropriate
instructions below.
Line Input – Use the RCA (phono)
input jacks labeled "Line Input" when
connecting from a line-level device,
such as a pre-amp, crossover, signal
processor, or when using any of the
line-level outputs on the rear of your
receiver/TV/source amplifier. If your
receiver has a single RCA output for
sending the signal to the subwoofer,
you may connect it to both Right &
Left input jacks by using a "Y" adapter
(not included). Many stereo/ large
screen TVs have stereo (Right & Left)
RCA jacks for sending the signal to
external audio equipment. Your
subwoofer connects to these using
both the Right & Left input jacks
(see Figure 1).
Speaker Level Input (from
amplifier) – Use these inputs when
connecting to the “Speaker Out”
(speaker mains) of the receiver/
TV/source amplifier. Run speaker
wires from the speaker output
terminals (usually coded red and
black) on the rear of the
receiver/TV/source amplifier to the
red and black input terminals labeled
"Speaker Level Input (from amplifier)"
on the subwoofer (see Figure 2).
Preparing the Hookup Wire
Your JBL dealer can recommend
suitable cables, or you can buy wire at
most hardware or electronic stores.
High-quality connectors and cable
offer consistent performance that does
not deteriorate over time. We
recommend #16 AWG two-conductor
insulated wire as a minimum size. If
your subwoofer is more than 30 feet
(10m) from your receiver/TV/source
amplifier, use larger diameter, lower
gauge wire.
