Title: HELP!! JTM 50 Mods
Post by: 72fetter on April 15, 2008, 10:12:11 PM
Okay so I ordered a series of mods on my kit but I cant seem to find any articles on how to actually accomplish them haha.

I need help with installing the external bias mod and i am planning an internal channel jump with a mini toggle to disconnect it. I also am planning a toggle to disconnect my ppi volume mod.
also are there any better directions online for putting the kit together? I am currently using the pdf from metro but it applies to the jtm45.
thanks guys.

p.s. I am waiting ofr my trannies, can i start on the kit and just install them when they get here?

Hhmmmmm.   The toggle switch to disconnect the PPIMV is new to me. I am not any kind of tech, but I don't understand what a toggle switch can do. All of the wires and the dual stack pot are in there. Turn it all the way to the right and it is "off" I thought.
How much further out does the toggle take it, back to the board maybe?  I just pulled a PPIMV out of a plexi lead/converted to bass. Maybe with the Mod you are talking about I could have left everything in there?
Thank You
