Surface-m ounting the P-23t.  
J um per Functions  
Lo Pass (Low Pass): You m ay engage or disengage the  
woofer low-pass filter with this jum per. Because the  
natural rolloff of the P-532 and the P-632 begin at a lower  
frequency than that of the P-432, this jum per should only  
be in the "on" position when the P-432 is being used.  
Figure 6b.  
Twt Lvl (Tweeter Level): You m ay attenuate the level of  
the tweeter's output using this jum per.  
Twt Frq (Tweeter Frequency): Because the P-432 has  
usable frequency response higher than that of the P-532  
or P-632, th e optimum crossover frequen cy for the tweeter  
is slightly higher when the P-23t is used with the 4" woofer.  
Note: For the m ost accurate sound reproduction,  
the jum per positions should be set according to J BL  
recom m endations. If an alternate setting better suits  
your preference or works better for your particular  
installation, you m ay position the jum pers as you like  
without affecting your warranty.  
Rem ove the top of the passive crossover by squeezing  
the sides and lifting off the top. Mount the crossover  
with screws or wire ties through the m ounting holes.  
Connect the wires between the crossover, and between  
the woofer and tweeter as shown.  
Note: You m ay upgrade the perform ance of the P-432,  
P-532 or P-632 (when it is used as a m ultielem ent speak-  
er) by utilizing the passive crossover contained in the  
P-Kit and leaving the tweeter m ounted on the woofer.  
Flush-m ounting the P-23t (use a hole saw to cut a 1-9/16"  
hole in the m ounting surface).
