Please consider the following to help you get the most from your speakers. The most spacious stereo image is achieved when the left and right speakers are placed as wide apart as possible. The best center image will be achieved when the distance from the left speaker and the right speaker are as equal as possible from your listening position. This is most easily achieved by placing the speakers as far forward as possible. This means that high frequencies are reduced as you move off the tweeter's axis. This will generate high distortion levels which can easily damage loudspeakers, even if the rated power of the amplifier is below the rated maximum power handling of the loudspeaker!WARNING: Playing loud music over 120dB can permanently damage your hearing. The maximum volume levels achievable with JBL speakers combined with high power amplification may exceed safe levels for extended listening. When listening at high volume levels, always use hearing protection or turn it down! Figure 4 System Design A more advanced system design can be achieved by adding a GT, GTX, GTi, or equivalent subwoofer to your GT series speakers. In this case the GT series multielement speakers will be used as high and midbass frequency drivers and should have their extremely low frequencies blocked by electrical means. Active or passive crossovers can be used in order to achieve the best system fidelity and widest dynamic range. A crossover frequency of between 80Hz and 120Hz is recommended for the best imaging and widest dynamic range. 05 Service Should your loudspeaker ever need service, return it to the JBL dealer from whom it was purchased. If for some reason this is impractical, call 800-336-4JBL for your nearest warranty station.
