PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The JL Audio M800/8-24V is an eight-channel, 

full-range audio amplifier utilizing JL Audio 

NexD™ ultra-high speed switching technology to 

deliver outstanding fidelity and efficiency.

The M800/8-24V 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 in a 

vessel, 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 4 AWG 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 vehicle or vessel operation. Use 2 AWG 

or larger power wire and a power distribution 

block if additional amplifiers are being 

installed with the M800/8-24V.

  3)  Connect power wire to the positive battery 

post. Fuse the wire with an appropriate fuse 

block or circuit breaker (and connectors) 

within 18 inches (45 cm) wire length of the 

positive battery post. This fuse/circuit breaker 

is essential to protect the vessel/vehicle. 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 “+24V” 

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 

M800/8-24V is the only device being 

run from the fused main power wire. If 

the fused main power wire is shared by 

the M800/8-24V 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 or circuit breaker 

(40A for a single M800/8-24V) and reconnect 

the negative battery post terminal. Install 

a fuse or circuit breaker (40A) near the 

amplifier in multiple amp systems sharing a 

main power wire.

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 14)  

for the recommended input sensitivity  

setting method.

16)  Enjoy the fruits of your labor with your 

favorite music.
