Figure 1.

This wiring diagram shows

a JBL P-4020 amplifier set to stereo
to drive a pair of full-range speakers.

Figure 2.

This wiring dia-

gram shows a JBL P-4020
amplifier set to bridge
mode (mono) to drive a 
single subwoofer.

Figure 3.

This wiring diagram

shows a JBL P-4020 amplifier set
for tri-mode operation. For a
desired crossover frequency, use
the chart on page 4 to select an
inductor for the subwoofer, and
corresponding capacitors for left
and right speakers.

Figure 4.

In this example system,

the front channels of a P-4040
drive a pair of 5-1/4" 2-way speak-
ers, and the rear channels are
bridged to drive a single 12"
woofer.
