Speaker loads below 1.5Ω nominal are not 
recommended and may cause the amplifier 
output to distort excessively. 
Speaker connections to the 600/1v3 are 
straightforward and take place at the far right 
of the front panel. You will notice that there

negative connections. This is to facilitate multiple 
speaker wiring. The two positive and two negative 
connections are connected in parallel inside 
the amplifier. Connecting two speakers, each to 
one set of positive and negative terminals, will 
result in a parallel speaker connection. If only 
connecting one pair of speaker wires, it is not 
necessary to use both sets of connections.

will cause the amplifier to go into protection and 
mute the output.
The 600/1v3’s speaker connectors are designed 
to accept 12 AWG – 8 AWG wire.
To connect the speaker wires to the amplifier, 
first back out the set screws on the top of the 
amplifier, using the supplied 2.5 mm hex 
wrench. Strip 1/2 inch (12 mm) of insulation 
from each wire and insert the bare wire end 
into the receptacles on the front panel of the 
amplifier, seating them firmly so that no bare 
wire is exposed. While holding each wire in place, 
tighten each 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.

Do NOT attempt to “bridge” two 600/1v3’s or 
combine their output to a single load in any 
manner. Doing so will damage the amplifier(s).

Before reconnecting the battery ground and 
turning the system on, verify that all control 
settings on the amplifier are set according to 
the needs of the system.
 
STATUS INDICATOR LIGHTS /  
PROTECTION CIRCUITRY
There are three status indicator lights on the 
top of the amplifier.  These are as follows: 
 
1)
iPowerw (Green): lights to indicate that the 
amplifier is turned on and operating normally.
 
2)
iThermalw (Red): lights to indicate that 
the amplifier has exceeded its safe operating 
temperature, putting the amplifier into a self-
protection mode, which reduces the power 
output of the amplifier.  The red light will shut 
off and the amplifier will return to normal, 
full-power operating mode if the heat sink 
temperature drops back to a safe level.
 
3)  
iLow Ωw (Amber): lights to indicate that the 
impedance of the speaker load connected 
to the amplifier is lower than the optimum 
impedance load range for the amplifier. When 
this light is on, a protection circuit engages 
and reduces the power output of the amplifier. 
The amber indicator will also light when a 
short-circuit is detected in the speaker wiring 
(this can be a short between the positive and 
negative speaker wires or between either 
speaker wire and the vehicle chassis). 
There is only one condition that will shut down

voltage drops below 10 volts, the entire amplifier

on the top of the amplifier will turn off when this 
occurs. The amplifier will turn back on when 
voltage climbs back above 10 volts. This may 
happen in a rapid cycle when bass-heavy program 
material causes a weak charging system to dip 
below 10 volts momentarily. If this is happening 
in your system, have your charging system 
inspected to make sure it is working properly. 
For information on troubleshooting this 
amplifier, refer to Appendix E (page 20).

The “Advanced Bass Control” section will only 
operate when the amplifier’s filter is activated 
with the “Amp LP Filter” switch in the “12dB” 
or “24dB” position. It will not work with this 
switch in the “Off” position. This is to prevent 
cascading the processing of multiple amplifiers 
when configured in a master/Slave arrangement 
as shown in Appendix D (page 18). If you are 
using an external active crossover and would 
like to use the “Advanced Bass Control” 
features, set the “Amp LP Filter” switch on 
“12dB” and rotate the frequency selection knob 
fully clockwise to the “200 Hz” position. This 
will activate the “LF Boost” and “Infrasonic 
Filter” controls without significantly affecting 
the crossover point selected by the external 
active crossover.

SUBWOOFER OUTPUT
The 600/1v3 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 (600 watts x 1) 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 600/1v3 gives 
you the freedom to use a variety of subwoofer 
configurations that achieve final nominal 
impedances between  
1.5 – 4Ω (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 the speaker load. There are 
no user controls to configure. The system 
operates through multiple stages of impedance

to the actual impedance of the speaker(s) you 
connect to it.

If you connect a load higher than 4Ω nominal 
to the 600/1v3, power will drop by half with 
every doubling of impedance above 4Ω. If you 
connect a load lower than 1.5Ω nominal to the 
600/1v3, the amplifier protection circuitry 
activates a “safe” mode which reduces amplifier 
power to protect the circuitry from failure (the 
yellow LED on the top of the amplifier will 
light to indicate that this has happened). See 
page 13 for details.
