pair of the XD400/4v2’s channels to drive left 
channel speakers only and the other pair of the 
XD400/4v2’s channels to drive right channel 
speakers only. 

2)  Left + Right Channel Information:  When 

bridged and fed by a stereo source signal, a 
bridged pair of the XD400/4v2’s channels 
will automatically combine the left and 
right input signals into a summed mono 
(left + right) input signal. This option is 
useful when using a pair of the XD400/4v2’s 
channels to drive a subwoofer system 
or a summed mono center channel.

STATUS LED / PROTECTION CIRCUITRY

There is a single multi-color LED on the top 

surface of the amplifier to indicate the amplifier’s 
operating status.

Turn-On Mode

 

1)     Flashing  Green:  The amplifier is powering up, 

audio output is muted. 

2)  Constant Green: The amplifier is on and 

functioning normally, audio output is active. 

3)  Constant Red: lights to indicate that the 

amplifier has exceeded its safe operating 
temperature, putting the amplifier into a 
self-protection mode, which reduces the 
peak power output of the amplifier. When 
its temperature returns to a safe level, the red 
light will return to green and the amplifier will 
return to full-power operating mode.

4)  Constant Amber (Yellow): Indicates that an 

over-current condition has occurred and is 
accompanied by a muting of the amplifier’s 
output. Because the muting behavior may be 

very short in duration, it may manifest itself 
as an audible, repetitive ticking or thumping 
noise in the output. Over-current conditions 
can be caused by a speaker impedance lower 
than the optimum load impedance range for 
the amplifier or a short-circuit in the speaker 
wiring. The latter can result from a short circuit 
between the positive and negative speaker 
wires or between either speaker wire and the 
vehicle chassis. The “Status LED” will remain 
amber for a few seconds, even if the over-
current condition is of a very short duration.

5)  LED off / Amplifier Shuts Off Unexpectedly 

The only condition that will shut down an 
undamaged XD400/4v2 completely is if battery 
voltage or remote turn-on voltage drops below 
10 volts. The “Status LED” will turn off when 
this occurs. The amplifier will turn back on 
when voltage climbs back above 11 volts. If 
this is happening in your system, have your 
charging system and power wiring inspected.  

For more information on troubleshooting this 
amplifier, refer to Appendix D (pages 16, 17).

SERVICING YOUR JL AUDIO AMPLIFIER

If your amplifier fails or malfunctions, please 

return it to your authorized JL Audio dealer so 
that it may be sent in to JL Audio for service. 
There are no user serviceable parts or fuses inside 
the amplifier. The unique nature of the circuitry 
in the JL Audio amplifiers requires specifically 
trained service personnel. Do not attempt 
to service the amplifier yourself or through 
unauthorized repair facilities. This will not only 
void the warranty, but may result in the creation of 
more problems within the amplifier. 

 

If you have any questions about the installation or 
setup of the amplifier not covered in this manual, 
please contact your dealer or technical support.
