SPEAKER CONNECTION
When we designed the E150P, E250P, P10SW and P12SW powered subwoofers, our
goal was to offer the user the best possible performance combined with the most flexible
and complete installation options.
Please look over the following three examples to determine which description best
matches your system and follow the corresponding hookup instructions.
To use the binding-post speaker terminals with bare wire, unscrew the collar until the
hole through the center post is visible under the collar. Insert the bare end of the wire
through the hole in the post, then screw the collar back down until the connection is
tight. The holes in the center of the collars are intended for banana-type connectors.
Speakers and electronics terminals have corresponding positive (+) and negative (–)
terminals. It is important to connect both speakers identically: positive (+) on the speaker
to positive (+) on the amplifier and negative (–) on the speaker to negative (–) on the
amplifier. Wiring “out of phase” results in thin sound, weak bass and a poor stereo image.
NOTE: The speaker-level connection method described on the next page is not a
preferred connection and should only be resorted to if your receiver/processor does not
have a line-level or subwoofer output. The customer is responsible for proper
connections, and any damage to JBL or other equipment due to improper connections
will not be covered by your JBL warranty. Consult with your JBL dealer or an audio
installation expert if you have any questions about how to connect your subwoofer using
the speaker-level inputs.

Level Control
The subwoofer Level Control
adjusts the volume of the
subwoofer relative to the rest
of the system. Proper level
adjustment depends on sev-
eral variables such as room
size, subwoofer placement,
type of main speakers and
position. Adjust the subwoofer
level so that the volume of the
bass information is pleasing
to you.
Crossover Adjustments
The Crossover Frequency
Control determines the highest
frequency at which the sub-
woofer reproduces sounds. If
your main speakers can com-
fortably reproduce some low-
frequency sounds, set this
control to a lower frequency
setting, between 50Hz and
100Hz. This will concentrate
the subwoofer’s efforts on the
ultradeep bass sounds
required by today’s films and
music. If you are using smaller
bookshelf speakers that do not
extend to the lower bass fre-
quencies, set the low-pass
crossover control to a higher
setting, between 120Hz and
150Hz. This control is not used
when the LFE switch is in the
“LFE” position.

Phase Control
The Phase Control determines
whether the subwoofer’s pis-
ton-like action moves in and
out in phase with the main
speakers or opposite the
main speakers. There is no
correct or incorrect setting.
Proper phase adjustment
depends on several variables
such as subwoofer placement
and listener position. Adjust
the phase switch to maximize
bass output at the listening
position.
If at some time in the future
you happen to rearrange your
listening room and move your
speakers, you should experi-
ment with the phase switch in
both positions, and leave it in
the position that maximizes
bass performance.
Remember, every system,
room and listener is different.
There are no right or wrong
settings; this switch offers the
added flexibility to adjust your
subwoofer for optimum per-
formance for your specific
listening conditions without
having to move your speakers.

TEST SET-UP AND PROCEDURE
General Function
UUT = Unit Under Test
1) Connect a pair of level input cables (RCA) from signal generator to either Right or Left Level input on UUT. LEVEL
control should be full counterclockwise (MIN). Make sure the LFE/Normal switch is in the NORMAL position.
2) Turn on generator, adjust to 100mV, 50Hz.
3) Plug in UUT; Turn Main Power switch ON. LED may be either Red or Green. Turn LEVEL control full clockwise
(MAX). Low Pass control should be set fully clockwise (150Hz).
4) LED should turn Green; immediately bass response should be heard and felt from port tube opening.
5) Turn off generator, turn LEVEL control fully counterclockwise (MIN), disconnect RCA cables.
6) Connect one pair of speaker cables to either high level input terminal on UUT. Cables should be connected to an
integrated amplifier fed by the signal generator.
7) Turn on generator and adjust so that speaker level output is 1.0V, 50Hz. Turn LEVEL control full clockwise (MAX).
8) Green LED should light, immediate bass response should be heard and felt from the port tube opening.
Sweep Function
1) Follow steps 1-4 above, using a sweep generator as a signal source.
2) Sweep generator from 20Hz to 300Hz. Listen to the cabinet and drivers for any rattles, clicks, buzzes or any other
noises. If any unusual noises are heard, remove driver and test.
Driver Function
1) Remove driver from cabinet; detach + and - wire clips.
2) Check DC resistance of driver; it should be 4.8 ohms.
3) Connect a pair of speaker cables to driver terminals. Cables should be connected to an integrated amplifier fed by a
signal generator and adjust so that speaker level output is 5.0V.
4) Sweep generator from 20Hz to 1kHz. Listen to driver for any rubbing, buzzing, or other unusual noises.

Service Bulletin
Service bulletin # JBL2005-01 December 2005
To: All JBL Service Centers
Warranty labor rate: MINOR repair
Model: E150P, E250P Subwoofers
Subject: “Chirp” Noise on Power-Up
In the event you receive an E150P or E250P with the complaint: “the subwoofer make a slight “chirp”
noise when it becomes active from the stand-by mode”, perform the following modification.
Synopsis: Change C65 PE capacitor from 470µf to 47µf.
1) Remove the amplifer from the enclosure.
2) Remove the cover.
3) Change C65 Electrolytic capacitor from 470µf,16V to 47µf,16V, JBL part# 034-470515-200. Observe
polarity.
4) Replace cover, replace amplifier in enclosure, test subwoofer.

Troubleshooting tips and solutions to common service problems
For models: E150P,E250P TIP# JBLTT2003-04 Rev2
P10SW, P12SW
PB10,PB12 (Revision 2) *
Subject: Replacing MOSFETS Q18, Q22
In the event you need to replace MOSFET transistors Q18 or Q22 as part of a repair, it is
important to use ONLY:
• JBL part# 051-640001-000
• Or JBL part# FE106401110
• Or only the brands: International Rectifier, or Fairchild.
Replace both Q18 and Q22 MOSFET’s in the circuit, even if only one seems to be damaged.
Do NOT mix & match these components from different manufacturers, or batches. They should be
identical.
* Late version PB10 or PB12 subwoofers (Revision 2 in the service manual) can be identified by:
•
•
•
•
Amplifier serial number starts with “HA”
Output transistors in the open, on a large black heatsink
Large plastic cup enclosing the rear of the amp assembly
Main PCB, bottom, solder-side contains all SMD devices
