THANK YOU

for purchasing a JBL CS Series amplifier.
In order that we may better serve you should you require
warranty service for your new amplifier, please retain your
original purchase receipt and return the enclosed warranty
registration card.

INSTALLATION
WARNING: Playing loud music in an
automobile can hinder your ability to hear
traffic and permanently damage your
hearing. We recommend listening at low or
moderate levels while driving your car. JBL
accepts no liability for hearing loss, bodily
injury or property damage resulting from the
use or misuse of this product.
IMPORTANT: To get the best performance from your JBL CS Series amplifiers, we
strongly recommend that installation be
entrusted to a qualified professional.
Although these instructions explain how to
install CS amplifiers in a general sense, they
do not show specific installation methods
that may be required for your particular
vehicle. If you do not have the necessary
tools or experience, do not attempt the
installation yourself. Instead, please ask
your authorized JBL car audio dealer about
professional installation.
INSTALLATION
WARNINGS AND TIPS
• Always wear protective eyewear when
using tools.
• Turn off the audio system and other
electrical devices before you start. Disconnect the (–) negative lead from your vehicle’s battery.
• Check clearances on both sides of a
planned mounting surface before drilling
any holes or installing any screws.
Remember that the screws can extend
behind the surface.
• At the installation sites, locate and make a
note of all fuel lines, hydraulic brake lines,
vacuum lines and electrical wiring. Use
extreme caution when cutting or drilling in
and around these areas.

• Before drilling or cutting holes, use a utility
knife to remove unwanted fabric or vinyl to
keep material from snagging in a drill bit.
• When routing cables, keep input-signal
cables away from power cables and
speaker wires.
• When making connections, make certain
they are secure and properly insulated.
• If the amplifier’s fuse must be replaced,
use only the same type and rating as that
of the original. Do not substitute another
kind.
CHOOSING A LOCATION
AND MOUNTING THE
AMPLIFIER
Choose a mounting location in the trunk
or cargo area where the amplifier will not be
damaged by shifting cargo. Amplifier
cooling is essential for proper amplifier
operation. If the amplifier is to be installed in
an enclosed space, make sure there is
sufficient air circulation for the amplifier
to cool itself.
When mounting the amplifier under a seat,
ensure that it is clear of all moving seat
parts and does not affect the seat adjustments. Mount the amplifier so it is not damaged by the feet of backseat passengers.
Make sure that the amplifier is mounted
securely using nuts and bolts or the
supplied mounting screws.
Mount the amplifier so that it remains dry –
never mount an amplifier outside the vehicle
or in the engine compartment.

POWER CONNECTIONS
The CS amplifiers are capable of delivering
extremely high power levels, and require a
heavy-duty and reliable connection to the
vehicle’s electrical system in order to perform optimally. See Figure 1 for connection
location. Please adhere to the following
instructions carefully:
Ground Connection
Connect the amplifier’s Ground (GND) terminal to a solid point on the vehicle’s metal
chassis, as close to the amplifier as possible. Refer to the chart below to determine
minimum wire-gauge size. Scrape away any
paint from this location; use a star- type lock
washer to secure the connection.
Power Connection
Connect a wire (see chart at right for appropriate gauge) directly to the vehicle’s positive battery terminal, and install an appropriate fuse holder within 50cm of the battery
terminal. Do not install the fuse at this time.
Route the wire to the amplifier’s location,
and connect it to the amplifier’s Positive
(+12V) terminal. Be sure to use appropriate
grommets whenever routing wires through
the firewall or other sheet metal. Failure to
adequately protect the positive wire from
potential damage may result in a vehicle
fire. When you are done routing and connecting this wire, you may install a 40A fuse
at the battery.

Remote Connection
Connect the amplifier’s Remote (REM)
terminal to the source unit’s Remote Turn-On
lead using a minimum of 1mm2 wire.
NOTE: If your source unit does not have a
remote turn-on connection, connect the
amplifier’s (REM) terminal to the vehicle’s
accessory circuit.
Speaker Connections
Refer to the application guides on the pages
that follow. Speaker connections should be
made using a minimum of 1.5mm2 wire.

These recommendations assume 1,5m à

markedly, you will need to adjust the wire
gauge accordingly.

APPLICATIONS – CS200.1
The CS subwoofer amplifiers are
single-channel amplifiers. There are
two sets of terminals to make it easy
to connect multiple woofers. Either
set of (+/–) terminals may be used when
connecting woofers.
To the right are two application
diagrams to help plan your subwoofer
system installation. Figures 2 and 3
show how to configure the CS200.1
subwoofer amplifiers.
NOTE: For simplicity, Figures 2 and 3
do not show power, remote and input
connections.

Figure 2. CS subwoofer amplifier with two
woofer connections.

Figure 3. CS subwoofer amplifier with one woofer
connection.

NOTE: Minimum speaker load is
2 ohms.

APPLICATIONS – CS50.4
The CS50.4 can be set up for stereo
4-channel, 3-channel or bridged
2-channel operation, as shown in
Figures 4 through 6.

NOTE: For simplicity, Figures 4 through 6 do
not show power, remote and input
connections.

operation to drive front and rear full-range speakers.

NOTE: Minimum speaker impedance for
stereo operation is 2 ohms.
Minimum speaker impedance for bridged
operation is 4 ohms.

CONTROLS AND SETUP

SPECIFICATIONS

SETTING THE
CROSSOVER(S)

SETTING INPUT
SENSITIVITY

Determine your system plans and set the
crossover mode switch accordingly. If
you plan to use the CS50.4 to drive fullrange speakers, set the crossover mode
to FLAT and skip to “Setting Input Sensitivity.”

1. Initially turn the INPUT LEVEL control(s)
to minimum (counter clockwise).
2. Reconnect the (–) negative lead to the
vehicle’s battery. Apply power to the
audio system and play a dynamic music
track.
3. On the source unit, increase the volume control to 3/4 volume. Slowly
increase the INPUT LEVEL control(s)
toward three o’clock until you hear
slight distortion
in the music. Then reduce the INPUT
LEVEL slightly until distortion is no
longer heard.

CS200.1
• 1 x 236W RMS channel at 4 ohms and ≤1% THD + N
• Signal-to-noise ratio: 100dBA (reference 1W into 4 ohms)
• 1 x 338W RMS channel at 2 ohms, 14.4V supply and
≤1% THD + N
• Dynamic power: 464W at 2 ohms
• Effective damping factor: 6.395 at 4 ohms
• Frequency response: 10Hz – 302Hz (–3dB)
• Maximum input signal: 7.5V
• Maximum sensitivity: 260mV
• Output regulation: .073dB at 4 ohms
• Dimensions (L x W x H): 295x313x60mm
(11-5/8" x 12-5/16" x 2-3/8")
• Fuses: 20A x 2

Initially set the crossover frequency
control midway. While listening to music,
adjust the crossover for the least perceived distortion from the speakers,
allowing them to reproduce as much bass
as possible.
Systems using a separate subwoofer set
the crossover mode to HP (high pass) for
your full-range speakers. Adjust the
crossover frequency to limit bass and
provide increased system volume with
less distortion.

NOTE: After the source unit is on, blue
LEDs (on the top panel) will light, indicating the amplifier is on. If not, check the
wiring, especially the remote connection
from the source unit. Also refer to
“Troubleshooting” guide below.

For subwoofers, choose the highest
frequency that removes vocal information
from the sound of the subwoofer.
If using the CS50.4 to drive a
subwoofer(s), set the crossover mode to
LP (low pass).
