For optimum power output at all four channels,
connect the same impedance (between 1.5-4Ω)
on all four channels. On pages 16 and 17 are
charts showing the continuous (RMS) power
output capability of the 300/4v3 into various
combinations of front and rear impedances
(optimum output is shown in bold type). Please
refer to these charts so you know what to expect
in terms of power output.

If you connect a load higher than 4Ω nominal
per channel in stereo mode (or 8Ω in bridged
mode), power will drop by half with every
doubling of impedance above 4Ω stereo / 8Ω
mono. If you connect a load lower than 1.5Ω
nominal per channel in stereo mode (or 3Ω in
bridged mode, the amplifier protection
circuitry activates a “safe” mode which reduces
amplifier power to protect the circuitry from
failure (the yellow “Low Ω” LED lights to
indicate that this has happened). See page 10
for details.

Speaker loads below 1.5Ω nominal per channel
in stereo or 3Ω nominal in bridged mode are
not recommended and may cause the amplifier
output to distort excessively.
BRIDGING CONSIDERATIONS
in stereo or 3Ω nominal in bridged mode are
not recommended and may cause the amplifier
output to distort excessively.
BRIDGING CONSIDERATIONS
Bridging is the practice of combining the
output of two amplifier channels to drive a single
load. When bridged, each channel produces
signals of equal magnitude, but opposite polarity.
The combined output of the two channels
provides twice the output voltage available from a
single channel. The 300/4v3 has been designed for
bridging of its channel pairs without the need for
input inversion adaptors.

Because a bridged pair of channels requires
that both channels receive input, you need to
connect both left and right RCA inputs to the
bridged channel pair’s inputs. Connection of
only one RCA input will result in reduced power
output, increased distortion and can cause the

The 300/4v3 employs JL Audio’s exclusive
Regulated, Intelligent Power Supply (R.I.P.S.)
design. This sophisticated power supply allows
the amplifier to produce its optimum power (300
watts) over a wide range of speaker impedances.
Unlike conventional amplifiers that require a
specific impedance to produce optimum power,
the R.I.P.S.-equipped 300/4v3 gives you the
freedom to use a variety of speaker configurations
that achieve final impedances between 1.5 – 4
Ohms nominal per channel (without sacrificing
power output or sound quality).

The operation of the R.I.P.S. circuitry is
entirely automatic and adjusts itself every time
the amplifier is turned on according to the
lowest impedance present at either front or rear
channels. There are no user controls to configure.
The system operates through three stages of

supply, it will set itself up based on the lowest
impedance present at either the front or rear
amplifier channels. For example, if you connect
a 2 ohm load to each front channel and a 4 ohm
load to each rear channel, the amplifier will adjust
itself to deliver 75 watts x 2 to the front 2 ohm
loads, but will only deliver half its optimum power
(37.5 watts x 2) to the rear 4 ohm loads. If you
connect a 4 ohm load to all four channels or a 2
ohm load to all four channels, the amplifier will
deliver 75 watts x 4. See, we told you this amp
