owner’s manual
THANK YOU
for purchasing a JBL®CS 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 a CS Series component
system 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.

• Woofers

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.
• 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.
• 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.

CONNECTIONS
To Amplifier
Connect the tweeter using the supplied
wire with inline crossover to the terminals
on the woofer. Note that there are two
positive and two negative terminals on
the woofer. Connect the unused positive
and negative terminals to your amplifier‘s
output leads, observing proper polarity.
You must use the supplied inline crossover.
Failure to do so may damage the tweeter.
