PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The JL Audio M200/2 is a two-channel,  

full-range audio amplifier utilizing JL Audio 
NexD™ ultra-high speed switching technology to 
deliver outstanding fidelity and efficiency.

The M200/2 can be operated with a wide 

variety of source units and system configurations.

TYPICAL INSTALLATION SEQUENCE

The following represents the sequence for a 

typical amplifier installation, using an aftermarket 
source unit.  Additional steps and different 
procedures may be required in some applications. 
If you have any questions, please contact your 
authorized JL Audio dealer for assistance. 

   

1)  Disconnect the negative battery post

 connection and secure the disconnected cable 
to prevent accidental re-connection during 
installation. This step is not optional.

  2)  Run 8 AWG (minimum) power wire from the 

battery location to the amplifier mounting 
location, taking care to route it in such a 
way that it will not be damaged and will not 
interfere with vessel operation. Use 4 AWG 
or larger power wire and a power distribution 
block if additional amplifiers are being 
installed with the M200/2.

 3)  Connect power wire to the positive battery 

post. Fuse the wire with an appropriate fuse 
block (and connectors) within 18 inches (45 
cm) wire length of the positive battery post. 

This fuse is essential to protect the vessel. Do 

not install the fuse until the power wire has 

been securely connected to the amplifier. 

  4)  Connect negative power wire to the negative 

battery post. Use the same size power 
wire as the wire connected to the “+12V” 
connection (minimum 4 AWG).

  5)  Run signal cables and remote turn-on wire 

from the source unit to the amplifier  
mounting location. 

  6)  Run speaker cable from the speaker systems 

to the amplifier mounting location.

 

  7)  Securely mount the amplifier.

  8)  Connect the positive and negative power  

wires to the amplifier. A fuse near the 
amplifier is not necessary if the M200/2 is the 
only device being run from the fused main 
power wire. If the fused main power wire is 
shared by the M200/2 and other amplifiers 
or devices, fuse each amplifier/device 
within 12 inches (30 cm) of wire length, 
via a fused distribution block or multiple 
individual fuse blocks/on-board fuses.  

 9)  Connect the remote turn-on wire  

to the amplifier.

10) Connect the input cables to the amplifier.

11) Connect the speaker cables to the amplifier.

12)  Carefully review the amplifier’s control  

settings to make sure that they are set 
according to the needs of the system.

13)  Install the power wire fuse (20A for a  

single M200/2) and reconnect the negative  
battery post terminal. Install the fuse (20A) 
near the amplifier (if applicable).

14)  Turn on the source unit at a low level  

to double-check that the amplifier is 
configured correctly. Resist the temptation  
to crank it up until you have verified the  
control settings.

15)  Make necessary adjustments to the input 

sensitivity controls to obtain the right  
overall output and the desired balance  
in the system. See Appendix A (page 12)  
for the recommended input sensitivity  
setting method.

16)  Enjoy the fruits of your labor with your 

favorite music.
