component systems owner’s manual

THANK YOU

for purchasing a JBL® Grand Touring® Series automotive loudspeaker component system. We’ve organized this manual to make your installation as simple and trouble-free as possible. Please read it thoroughly before proceeding. Remember to keep your sales receipt and this manual in a safe place so both are available for future reference.

INSTALLATION WARNINGS AND TIPS

ABOUT THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Installation of automotive stereo components can require extensive experience with a variety of mechanical and electrical procedures. Although these instructions explain how to install Grand Touring Series component systems in a general sense, they do not show the exact installation methods for your particular vehicle. If you do not feel you have the experience, do not attempt the installation yourself – instead, ask your authorized JBL car audio dealer about professional installation options.

LOUD MUSIC AND HEARING

Playing loud music in an automobile can hinder your ability to hear traffic, as well as permanently damage your hearing. The maximum volume levels achievable with JBL speakers, combined with high power amplification, may exceed safe levels for extended listening. We recommend using low volume levels when driving. JBL accepts no liability for hearing loss, bodily injury or property damage as a result of use or misuse of this product.

REAR DECK PRECAUTION

In some cars, fuel tanks may be located directly beneath the rear deck. Before installation, make sure there is adequate speaker basket clearance before considering this location.

ABOUT THE CONTENTS

The Grand Touring Series component system includes:

Woofers

Grilles and mounting adapter(s) (no grille with the GTO8607C)

Tweeters with surface/flush I-Mount (patent no. 5,859,917) kits

Crossover networks with mounting screws

NOTE: The supplied crossover networks are designed to work with the above-listed transducers. Do not substitute another crossover network or use other speakers when connecting the system (see Figures 8A and 8B).

INSTALLATION TIPS

Always wear protective eyewear when using any tools.

Turn off all audio components and other electrical devices before you start. Disconnect the (–) negative lead from your vehicle’s battery.

Keep speakers in their package until final installation. When moving a speaker, always rest it with the cone or dome facing up. Never use force to install any speaker.

INSTALLATION

Check clearances on both sides of a planned mounting surface before drilling any holes or installing any screws. Remember that the screws can extend behind the surface.

At the installation sites, locate and make a note of all fuel lines, hydraulic brake lines, vacuum lines and electrical wiring. Use extreme caution when cutting or drilling in and around these areas.

Before drilling or cutting holes, use a utility knife to remove unwanted fabric or vinyl to keep material from snagging in a drill bit or saw.

For door installations, check the clearance with the windows throughout the range of the window’s travel, and verify that a mounted speaker will not interfere with the window crank or power window mechanism.

Figure 1. Mounting the woofer in a factory location without the grille (except GTO607C).

Figure 2. Mounting the woofer with the grille. (No grille is supplied with the GTO8607C. It is designed to be installed under the factory grille.)

If mounting speakers elsewhere, check for clearance around rear-deck torsion bars,

glove box or other structural elements.

• Do not mount speakers where they will get wet.

• If possible, select a mounting site for the crossover network that is near the speakers and provides easy access for connections.
