Make sure you observe correct polarity in 
making the “Hi-Level Input” connections. 
Failure to do so will reduce bass and affect 
stereo imaging.

 
The connections for the 

“Hi-Level Inputs”

 plug wires 

are as follows from left to right on the plug:

Channels 1&2 (FRONT)

8IJUF-FGU1PTJUJWF 

White/Black: Left Negative (–)
Black: Common Ground (rarely used)*

(SBZ3JHIU1PTJUJWF 

Gray/Black: Right Negative (–)

Channels 3&4 (REAR or SUB)

(SFFO-FGU1PTJUJWF 

Green/Black: Left Negative (–)
Black: Common Ground (rarely used)*

1VSQMF3JHIU1PTJUJWF 
1VSQMF#MBDL3JHIU/FHBUJWF o

*The only time you will use the Common  Ground 
connections is with some older (pre-1980’s) factory 
systems or head units that ground their speakers to 
chassis ground. To use these connections, ground 
the black wires on the plugs to chassis ground and 

POMZDPOOFDUUIF-FGUBOE3JHIU1PTJUJWFQMVHXJSFT

to the factory radio outputs.
 

“Input Mode” Switch

If you wish to send four discrete channels of 

input into the JX360/4, simply use all four inputs 
(Channels 1 & 2 and Channels 3 & 4) and set the 

Input Mode

” switch to “

4 Ch.

”.

If you wish to feed all four channels by using 

only two channels of input, set the “

Input Mode

” 

switch to “

2 Ch.

” and use only the inputs to 

Channels 1 & 2.

When Bridging the Amplifier:

If you are bridging the amplifier down 

to two channels in a stereo application, 
you must set the "Input Mode" switch to 
the "4 Ch." position and feed the input of 
each bridged channel pair individually. 

For mono applications (where both bridged 

channel pairs will reproduce the same signal), you 
can select the "2 Ch." position and only feed the 
Ch. 1 & 2 Inputs.

Any bridged channel pair must be fed by both 
Input Channels corresponding to it (Left and 
Right). Failure to do so will result in significant 
audible distortion.
