If you have any questions regarding the instructions in this
manual or any aspect of your amplifier’s operation, please contact your
authorized JL Audio dealer for assistance. If you need further assistance,
please call the JL Audio Technical Support Department
at (954) 443-1100 during business hours.
PROTECT YOUR HEARING!
We value you as a long-term customer. For
that reason, we urge you to practice restraint in
the operation of this product so as not to damage
your hearing and that of others in your vessel.
Studies have shown that continuous exposure to
high sound pressure levels can lead to permanent
(irreparable) hearing loss. This and all other
high-power amplif iers are capable of producing
such high sound pressure levels when connected
to a speaker system. Please limit your continuous
exposure to high volume levels.
While driving, operate your audio system
in a manner that still allows you to hear necessary
noises to operate your vessel safely (horns,
sirens, etc.).
SERIAL NUMBER
In the event that your amplif ier requires
service or is ever stolen, you will need to have
a record of the product’s serial number. Please
take the time to enter that number in the space
provided below. The serial number can be found
on the bottom panel of the amplifier and on the
amplifier packaging.
Serial Number:
INSTALLATION APPLICATIONS
This amplifier is designed for operation in
vessels with 12 volt, negative-ground electrical
systems. Use of this product in vessels with
positive ground and/or voltages other than 12V
may result in damage to the product and will void
th e w arra nty.
This product is not certified or approved for
use in aircraft.
Do not attempt to “bridge” the outputs of this
amplifier with the outputs of a second amplifier,
including an identical one.
PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION
It is important that you take the time to read
this manual and that you plan out your
installation carefully. The following are some
considerations that you must take into account
when planning your installation.
Cooling Efficiency Considerations:
The outer shell of your JL Audio amplifier is
designed to remove heat from the amplifier
circuitry. For optimum cooling performance, this
outer shell should be exposed to as large a volume
of air as possible. Enclosing the amplifier in a
small, poorly ventilated chamber can lead to
excessive heat build-up and degraded
performance. If an installation calls for an
enclosure around the amplifier, we recommend
that this enclosure be ventilated with the aid
of a fan. In normal applications, fan-cooling
is not necessary.

Safety Considerations:
Your amplifier needs to be installed in a dry,
well-ventilated environment and in a manner
which does not interfere with your vessel’s factory
installed electronic devices. You should also take
the time to securely mount the amplifier using the
supplied screws so that it does not come loose in the
event of a collision or a sudden jolt to the vessel.

Stupid Mistakes to Avoid:
• Check before drilling any holes in your vessel to
make sure that you will not be drilling through
the hull, a fuel tank, fuel line, wiring harness or
other vital vessel system.
• Do not run system wiring outside or underneath
the vessel. This is an extremely dangerous
practice which can result in severe damage to
your vessel and person.
• Protect all system wires from sharp edges
(metal, fiberglass, etc.) by carefully routing
them, tying them down and using grommets
and loom where appropriate.
• Do not mount the amplifier in the engine
compartment or in any other area that will
expose the amplifier circuitry to the elements.
While this amplifier is specially designed
for marine applications, it is not waterproof
and it should not be mounted where it is
likely to get wet.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The JL Audio M800/8v2 is an eight-channel,
full-range audio amplifier utilizing JL Audio
NexD™ ultra-high speed switching technolog y to
deliver outstanding fidelity and efficiency.
The M800/8v2 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. 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 batter y 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 vessel operation. Use 2 AWG or larger
power wire and a power distribution block if
additional amplifiers are being installed with
the M800/8v2.
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 “+12 V”
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
M800/8v2 is the only device being run
from the fused main power wire. If
the fused main power wire is shared
by the M800/8v2 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 (80A for a
single M800/8v2) and reconnect the negative
battery post termina l. Install the fuse (80A)
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 t he 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.
POWER CONNECTIONS
Before installing the amplifier, disconnect the
negative (ground) wire from the vessel’s battery.
This will prevent accidental damage to the system,
the vessel and your body during installation.
+12 VDC Ground Remote
The M800/8v2’s “+12 V DC” and “Ground ”
connections are designed to accept 4 AWG
power wire. 4 AWG is the required wire size for
this amplifier.
If you are installing the M800/8v2 with other
amplifiers and wish to use a single main power
wire, use 2 AWG or 1/0 AWG main power wire
(depending on the overall current demands of all
the amplifiers in the system). This 2 AWG or
1/0 AWG power wire should terminate into a
fused distribution block mounted as close to
the amplifiers as possible (within 12 inches
/ 30cm of wire length). The fused output of
the distribution block will connect to the
M800/8v2 with 4 AWG power wire. JL Audio
ECS fused distribution blocks are recommended
(XD-FDBU-2 and XD-FDBU-4)
Note: Smaller AWG numbers mean bigger
wire and vice-versa (1/0 AWG is the largest, 2
AWG is smaller, then 4 AWG, then 8 AWG, etc.).
To connect the power wires to the amplifier,
first back out the set screw on the top of the
terminal block, using the supplied 2.5 mm hex
wrench. Strip 1/2 inch (12 mm) of insulation from
the end of each wire and insert the bare wire into
the terminal block, seating it f irmly so that no
bare wire is exposed. While holding the wire in
place, tighten the set screw firmly, taking care not
to strip the head of the screw.
The ground connection should be made using
the same gauge wire as the power connection.
Any wires run through barriers must
be protected with a high quality rubber
grommet to prevent damage to the
insulation of the wire. Failure to do so
may result in a dangerous short circuit.
Many vessels employ small (10 AWG - 6 AWG)
wire to connect the alternator’s positive
connection to the battery. To prevent voltage
drops, this wire should be upgraded to 4 AWG
when installing amplifier systems with main
fuse ratings above 60A.
It is common for the alternator to be grounded
through its chassis. If the alternator is not
grounded through its chassis and instead employs
a small (10 AWG - 6 AWG) wire to connect to
ground, this wire should also be upgraded to 4
AWG when installing amplifier systems with main
fuse ratings above 60A.
FUSE REQUIREMENTS
It is absolutely vital that the main power
wire(s) to the amplifier(s) in the system be
fused within 18 inches (45 cm) of the positive
battery post connection. The fuse value at each
power wire should be high enough for all of the
equipment being run from that power wire. If
only the M800/8v2 is being run from that power
wire, we recommend a 80A fuse be used.
If fusing the amplifier near its power
connections (when more than one amp is being
run from the main power wire), use a 80A fuse.
MAX I™ (big plastic-body) fuses
are recommended.

+12 V Remote Turn-On: This is the preferred
method for turning the amplif ier on/off. The
amplifier will turn on when +12 V is present at
its “Remote” input and turn off when +12 V is
switched off. This +12V remote turn-on signal is
typically controlled by a source unit’s remote
turn-on wire. The M800/8v2’s “Remote” turn-on
connector will accept 18 AWG – 12 AWG wire. To
connect the remote turn-on wire to the amplifier,
first back out the set screw on the top of the
terminal block, using the supplied 2.5 mm hex
wrench. Strip 1/2 inch (12mm) of wire and insert
the bare wire into the terminal block, seating it
firmly so that no bare wire is exposed. While
holding the wire in the terminal, tighten the set
screw firmly, taking care not to strip the head of
the screw and making sure that the wire is firmly
gripped by the set screw.
If a source unit does not have a dedicated
remote turn-on output, consider one of the
following alternative turn-on options:
These methods are useful when a conventional
+12 V remote turn-on signal is not available in a
system. These allow you to operate the amplifier
without having to locate a remote turn-on lead at
6 | JL Audio - XD800/8v2 Owner’s Manual
the source unit.
Depending on the characteristics of the audio
signal, one of the following methods may work
better than the other. We recommend trying DC
Offset-Sensing first as it does not require a long
delay to turn the system off after the signal is
shut off.
DC Offset-Sensing: The amplifier will turn on
and off by detecting the presence of a very small
DC signa l (offset) that is typical in the audio
speaker outputs of most source units and small
amplifiers. The amplifier will turn on and off in
reaction to the presence or absence of this DC
Offset. The sensitivity of this circuit is designed
for high-level (speaker level) signals, not for lowlevel (preamp level) signals. The circuit monitors
the signal at the Channel 1 input only.
Signal-Sensing: The amplifier will turn on
and off by detecting the presence of a full-range
audio signal at its Channel 1 input. After several
minutes of no signal, the amplifier will shut off.
The sensitivity of this circuit is designed for
high-level (speaker level) signals, not for low-level
(preamp level) signals. The circuit is tuned to
react to signals at mid-range frequencies. This
prevents false switching from signals created by
moving loudspeakers that are in parallel with the
amplifier’s input signal.
In signal and DC sensing applications, the
am pl ifier’s “Remote” turn-on terminal becomes a
remote turn-on output. This allows the M800/8v2
to turn on other amplifiers in the audio system
that do not have signal sensing.

If you wish to send eight discrete channels into
the M800/8v2, simply use all eight inputs and set
the “Input Mode” switch in the “8 Ch.” position.
If you wish to feed all eight channels by using
only four channels of input, set the “Input Mode”
switch to “4 Ch.” and use only the inputs to
channels 1, 2, 5 and 6. In this mode, input 1 will
feed channels 1 and 3, input 2 will feed channels
3 and 4, input 5 will feed channels 5 and 7 and
input 6 will feed channels 6 and 8.
If you wish to use only two channels of input
to deliver signal to all eight amplifier channels,
set the “Input Mode” switch to “2 Ch.” and
use only the inputs to channels 1 and 2. In this
mode, input 1 will feed all the odd-numbered
channels (1, 3, 5 and 7) and input 2 will feed all
the even-numbered channels (2, 4, 6 and 8).

Input Voltage Range: A wide range of signal
input voltages can be accommodated by the
M800/8v2’s input section (200mV – 8V). This
wide range is split up into two sub-ranges,

The “Low” position on the “Input Voltage”
switch selects an input sensitivity range between
200mV and 2V for all input channels. This means
that the “Input Sens.” rotary control for each
channel section will operate within that voltage
window. If you are using a source unit with
conventional preamp-level outputs, this is most
likely the position that you will use
The “High” position on the “Input Voltage”
switch selects an input sensitivity range between
800mV and 8V for all input channels. This is
useful for certain high-output preamp level
signals as well as speaker-level output from source
units and small amplifiers. To use speaker-level
sources, splice the speaker output wires of the
source unit or small amplifier onto a pair of RCA
cables or plugs or use the JL Audio ECS Speaker
Wire to RCA adaptor (XD-CLRAIC2-SW).
Line Output Converters are usually not needed
