XJ-600R Subwoofer Power Amplifier  
Subwoofer Placement Guide  
Why having two gains on a mono subwoofer is  
a goodthing?  
GOOD / This illustration shows a single subwoofer setup  
Often you hear the term “subwoofers are non-directional”;  
this is not true subwoofer placement is harder to pick when to  
low frequencies are crossed . The wider the room, the more  
directional the subwoofer. The easiest solution is to use two  
subwoofers in the front: one on the left and a second on the  
right. The signal to both is mono. In some applications, users  
might have small front speakers or planer speakers. Both  
speakers have an early roll off in the sub-harmonics. The  
planer needs help from 150Hz on down, having two front  
subwoofers placed on the left and the right is a health  
solution tothis problem.  
The blue arrow represents the subharmonic  
frequencies as they move always toward the sub in  
the single sub system.  
The red arrow represents the lows+ mids+ highs as  
they follow the action.  
Note the breakaway and the image separation.  
Best response if the blue and the red are identical.  
BETTER / This illustration shows dual subwoofer with mono signal  
TwoSubs  
While having two subwoofers is better than one, the MONO  
signal that drives these subwoofers keeps them from  
projecting the three dimensional images in the sub-  
harmonics. The use of two subwoofers allows you to cross  
the sub up to 150 Hz sound quality, imaging and staging. The  
two-front-subwoofer-system is an excellent solution to planer  
speaker’s low frequency response early roll off. When  
locating these subwoofers in a close proximity to the stereo  
satellite, the subs will enhance low frequency extention. It  
will be better to have a stereo subwoofer to help in the lower  
bass notes and their placement.  
The blue arrow represents the sub-harmonic  
frequencies as they move always toward the  
middle in a mono-two-subs- system.  
The red arrow represent the lows+ the mids+ highs  
as they follow the action.  
Note the breakaway and the image separation  
If a bass Guitar player was standing on the left side of the  
stage, and he played an EE note (42Hz) then the right sub will  
also respond to that and create havoc on the stage. This can  
occur if you only have one single sub in the room and it’s  
placed on the right side of the room, while the bass guitar  
player is playing his music on the left side of the stage. As  
soon as he hits the EE note the sub speaks out on the right  
and completely destroys the stage. To give you three-  
dimensional front-end bass that allows you to have a low  
frequency dynamic stage, Earthquake designed dual input  
circuits that use buffers to maintain your stereo separation on  
the processor side while mixing stereo front signals to  
produce 3D bass.  
BEST / This illustration shows dual subwoofers with stereo+mono signals  
In this illustration the stereo subwoofers keep the  
sub-harmonics dynamically synchronized in  
motion with the rest of the audio systems.

Room Correction  
The XJ-600R offers a room correction technique that surpasses that of all previous  
attempts. The intelligent “Back EMF” drive circuit interacts with the subwoofer design  
and memorizes system tuning frequencies and system type. The information which is  
stored in microprocessor turns on a preset group delay curve that serves as a  
correction reference. This information deals only with time correction that moves the  
peaks and the dips in a room to a flat. Once that is achieved the user will resort to the  
final correction- EQ the room. For that reason Earthquake’s XJ-600R is truly an  
intelligent system. 20Hz, 30Hz and 40Hz frequencies can be cut or boosted by a  
whopping 12dB, these corrections help in producing wider range of listening position  
thatis unprecedented forthe room.  
(Note: boosting the response at 20Hz is very demanding for your subwoofer. Consult  
with your subwoofer maker, and determine if their subwoofer is designed to take a  
boost atsuch low frequencies.)  
When setting the room EQ, DO NOT over power the speakers as  
this may cause them to bottom out or cause other more severe  
problems that your warranty will not cover. To set up the room  
EQ, you will need a Spectrum-Analyzer, or you can use the rule of  
thumb.

Troubleshooting Information  
XJ-600R troubleshoot guide:  
This menu is built around installer's feed back and some basic issues they may face in the field. It is intended to provide you with ideas on how to troubleshoot & isolate  
the problem.  
WARNING: Do not tamper with the internal circuitry doing so may cause damage to you, the amplifier and will indefinitely void the warranty.  
Problem:  
1. No PowerAtAll: Make sure the main power switch is ON (pressed in/left front panel), check forAC power presence, then check if main circuit breaker is tripped off or if  
power cord came unplugged. If all the above passed the test, check the fuse located in the power inlet, horizontal drawer case. Replace it with the appropriate size. If the  
amp still doesn't work or continues toblow fuses then proceed tocall Earthquake's tech department.  
2. Amp Powers Up But No Output: GREEN light is On; switch the Auto turn On selector (right front panel) to the off position and shut down the signal source  
(processor/receiver). LED status should be RED now. Next, switch the selector to the middle position,AUTO; now turn on the signal source and watch for the LED status  
toturn GREEN. IfLED does not turn GREEN then the amplifier is not detecting a signal. Check the audio connection &set-up before the amplifier.  
3. RED LightAlways Stays On: Unplug the amplifier from the wall outlet and wait 20-seconds then reconnect the power plug. Now power up amplifier without any signal  
connected toitand watch forthe LED statustoturn GREEN.  
If you have tried and failed with all of the provided solution then you should call Earthquake for further assistance: 800-576-7944
