INSTALLATION WARNINGS AND TIPS
THANK YOU for choosing a
JBL®CS Series subwoofer enclosure.
This product has been designed to
deliver great bass performance from
a compact, easily installed enclosure.
To get the best performance from
your enclosure, it is strongly recommended that installation be entrusted
to a qualified professional. Although
these instructions explain how to
install your product in a general
sense, they do not show specific
installation methods that may be
required for your particular vehicle.
If you do not have the necessary tools
or experience, do not attempt the
installation yourself. Instead, please
ask your authorized JBL car audio
dealer about professional installation.
In order that you may be better
served, should you require warranty
service, please retain your original
sales receipt and serial number.
WARNING: Playing loud music
in an automobile can permanently
damage your hearing as well as
hinder your ability to hear traffic.
Listening at low levels while driving
is recommended. JBL, Inc., accepts
no liability for hearing loss, bodily
injury or property damage resulting
from use or misuse of this product.
INSTALLATION TIPS
• Always wear protective eyewear
when using tools.
• Turn off all audio components and
other electrical devices before you
start. Disconnect the (–) negative
lead from your vehicle’s battery.
• Check clearances on both sides of
a planned mounting surface. Be
sure that screws or wires will not
puncture brake lines, fuel lines or
wiring harnesses, and that wire
routing will not interfere with the
safe operation of the vehicle.
• When making electrical connections, make sure they are secure
and properly insulated.
• 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.
• Do not mount speakers where they
will get wet.
• If a fuse must be replaced, be sure
to use the same type of fuse and
current rating as that of the original.
CHOOSING A
MOUNTING LOCATION
FOR THE ENCLOSURE
Choose a mounting location that
doesn’t interfere with cargo, the
fold-down rear seat or the trunk lid.
The best location is usually a corner
of the trunk or cargo area. Securely
mount enclosure to the mounting
surface, using the supplied material.
