It's a 2 channel amp with built in electronic crossover. You don't use a passive crossover.

If you already have the Jacks loaded with the passive crossover, then you'll just use one power section on the amp. Use the low one as the high one has a built-in highpass crossover at 1khz. I'm assuming you are going to put this in a separate box? No way it's gonna fit in a Jack 10.

Build a box for it and connect the amp output to a jack plate with two paralleled NL2s. Then send one to each Jack via single pair speaker cable. This will be a mono setup and you won't be using the "high" end of the amp. Don't worry, the "low" amp will operate full frequency. It has pretty good DSP in it for setting EQ, high pass, etc.

If you decide to bypass the passive crossovers in the Jacks, then that will be a different wiring setup....not really necessary as the passive crossovers in the Jacks do the job just fine and let you use use single pair cable instead of a 4 wire setup.

I have one of these in my SLA Pro.

I'm not quite understand but will try this tomorrow BTW the plate amp fit perfect at the side of the Jack.
Thanks
