THANK YOU  
®
®
for purchasing a JBL Grand Touring Series subwoofer.  
Subwoofer installation requires woodworking skills and some  
experience in disassembling and reassembling automotive  
interiors. If you lack the tools or necessary skills, have your  
subwoofer installed by an authorized JBL dealer.  
CONNECTING YOUR SUBWOOFER TO YOUR AMPLIFIER  
JBL Grand Touring Series GTO  
subwoofers are available in two  
different configurations: a single  
4-ohm voice coil or dual 4-ohm  
voice coils. You may use GTO  
subwoofers in singles or multiples  
to maximize the power available  
from your amplifier(s). To achieve  
the maximum amplifier output  
possible, you should design a  
speaker system that provides  
the lowest impedance that your  
amplifier will drive safely. When  
designing a subwoofer system,  
consider the following rules:  
2. You may connect the coils of a  
dual-voice-coil woofer in series,  
but we recommend that you avoid  
connecting separate woofers in  
series.  
To design a subwoofer system  
that maximizes available amplifier  
power, keep the following rules  
in mind:  
Figure 1. Parallel connection  
1. The total system impedance  
of woofers in parallel can be  
calculated using the formula:  
3. You must use both coils of a dual-  
voice-coil woofer connected  
either in series or in parallel.

the same amount of power  
bridged into a 4-ohm load  
as they do running a 2-ohm  
stereo load.

w2  
where w is the nominal  
impedance of the woofer.  
2. The total system impedance  
of voice coils (or woofers) in  
series can be calculated using  
the formula:  
1. Do not mix different subwoofers  
or enclosure types in the same  
system. Subwoofers being used in  
the same enclosure or powered  
by the same amplifier should  
be identical models. Mismatched  
woofers and enclosures can  
result in poor performance from  
your subwoofer system.  
Impedance = w1 + w2 + w3 ...  
The diagrams at right show parallel  
and series speaker connections.
