CONTROL FUNCTIONS

1. Speakers – Connect speakers/subwoofers to these terminals. Be sure to check wire for proper polarity. Never connect the speaker cables to the chassis ground.
2. +BATT (+12 Volt Power) – Connect this terminal through a FUSE or CIRCUIT BREAKER to the positive terminal of the vehicle battery or the positive terminal of an isolated audio system battery. WARNING: Always protect this power cable by installing a fuse or circuit breaker of the appropriate gauge within 18 inches (45cm) of the battery terminal connection.
3. Remote – This terminal turns on the amplifier when (+) 12 volt is applied to it. Connect it to the remote turn on lead of the head unit or signal source.
4. GND – Connect this cable directly to the frame of the vehicle. Make sure the metal frame has been stripped of all paint down to the bare metal. Use the shortest distance possible. It is always a good idea to replace the factory ground at this time with a cable equal or larger than the new amplifier power cable. CAUTION: Do not connect this terminal directly to the vehicle battery ground terminal or any other factory ground points.
5. RCA Input Jacks – These RCA input jacks are for use with source units that have RCA outputs. A source unit with a minimum level of 200mV is required for proper operation. The use of high quality twisted pair cables is recommended to decrease the possibility of radiated noise entering the system.
6. Level Control – The Level, or Gain control will match the amplifier’s sensitivity to the source units signal voltage. The operating range is 5V to 200mV. NOTE: This is NOT a volume control.
7. Low Pass Filter Control (MonoBlock) – This control is used to select the desired low pass x-over frequency. The frequency can be adjusted from 40Hz to 250Hz for all bass mono models.
8. Subsonic Filter Control (MonoBlock) – This control can filter out unwanted low frequency from 10Hz (OFF) to 50Hz. This function should only be used with vented enclosures.
9. Bass Boost Level (MonoBlock) – This can boost bass level up to 18dB. The boost frequency is centered at 45Hz.
10. X-OVER (Full Range) – Selectable low pass, full range, or high pass filter controls the frequencies played for the front and rear channels.
11. X-Over Frequency Control – These controls allow control over the frequencies played for the front, rear, or subwoofer channels. In LP or HP mode, the crossover frequency can be tuned from 40Hz to 250Hz.
12. Auto Turn On Switch – Each model features auto turn on technology allowing installation without the use of a remote wire. If using a factory or aftermarket radio that does not include RCA outputs, the amplifier can be connected to the source unit using a speaker wire to RCA connection. The Remote Turn On switch when placed in the “Audio” position will allow the unit to turn itself on without the need to connect a remote wire. In the “Rem” position the unit will require a remote wire connection to turn on.
13. Input Mode – Push button switch on multi-channel models that tells the amplifier to play in either 4-CH or 5-CH mode (JH7005) or 2-CH or 4-CH mode (JH3004).
14. Input Level – Select Pre In if installing with a head unit that includes RCA outputs or Speaker Level In if installing with a factory head unit or head unit without RCA outputs.
15. EBC – Input connection for external bass control that is included with mono and 5-channel models.

INSTALLATION AND MOUNTING

MTX recommends your new JACKHAMMER amplifier be installed by a 12 volt installation specialist. Any deviation from specified installation instructions can cause serious damage to the amplifier, speakers and/or vehicle’s electrical system. Damage caused from improper installation is NOT covered under warranty. Please verify all connections prior to system turn on.

1. Disconnect the vehicle’s negative battery cable.
2. Determine the mounting place for your MTX amplifier. Keep in mind there should be sufficient air flow for proper cooling. Mark the mounting holes from the amplifier to be drilled. Before drilling make sure all vehicle wires, gas lines, brake lines and gas tank are clear and will not interfere with installation. Drill the desired holes and mount the MTX amplifier.
3. Install a positive (+) power cable from the vehicle’s battery through the firewall using a grommet or firewall bushing to avoid cable damage from sharp edges of the firewall. Run the cable through the interior of the vehicle and connect it to the amplifier’s (+BATT) terminal. Do not connect to the battery at this time. NOTE: Use only proper gauge wire for both positive and negative connections.
4. Install a circuit breaker or fuse within 18 inches of the battery. This effectively lowers the risk of severe damage to you or your vehicle in case of a short circuit or accident. Make sure the circuit breaker is switched Off or the fuse is taken out of the fuse holder until all connections are made. Now connect your positive power cable to the positive battery terminal of the battery.
5. Grounding – Locate a proper ground point on the vehicle’s chassis and remove all paint, dirt or debris to reveal a bare metal surface. Attach the ground wire to that contact point. Connect the opposite end of the ground wire to the (GND) terminal on the MTX amplifier.
6. Connect a Remote Turn-On wire from the source unit to the MTX amplifier’s (REM) terminal. If the source unit does not have a dedicated Remote Turn-On lead, you may connect to the source unit’s Power Antenna lead.
7. Supply the signal to your MTX amplifier by connecting the signal cables using high quality RCA to the corresponding outputs at the source unit and inputs of the amplifier.
8. Connect your speakers to your MTX amplifier’s speaker terminals using the correct gauge speaker wire. Your MTX amp can drive a 2Ω (JH3004 & JH7005) or 1Ω (JH5001, JH10001 & JH15001) minimum load for optimum power.
9. Double check all previous installation steps, in particular, wiring and component connections. Once verified, reconnect the vehicle’s negative battery cable, turn the circuit breaker On or place the fuse in the fuse holder.

NOTE: Gain Levels on the amplifier should be turned all the way down (counter clockwise) before proceeding with adjustments.

INSTALLATION

For proper perfomance and safety, MTX recommends installing an inline fuse per the owner’s manual instructions according to the following.
