GENUINE JBL

Thank you for purchasing a JBL Decade™ Series multi-element speaker 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 with this manual in a safe place so both are available for future reference.

Important

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 JBL Decade Series multi-element speaker system in a general sense, they do not show the exact installation methods for your particular vehicle. In many cases, removing door or rear deck panels

is necessary to gain access to the mounting location. This procedure may require specialized tools and a skilled installer. If you do not feel you have the tools or experience necessary, do not attempt the installation yourself, but instead ask your authorized JBL dealer about professional installation options.

Warning

Playing loud music in an automotive environment can permanently damage your hearing, as well as hinder your ability to hear traffic. 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.

Typical installation of the DS40, DS50, DS60, DS96.

Note: The DS75 speakers are designed for direct replacement of factory speakers. Therefore, they do not contain the grilles and trim ring shown in Fig 1. Installation of these models simply entails reversing the steps taken to remove the original speakers.

Installation Warnings and Tips

Always wear protective eyewear when using any tools.

Turn off all audio systems 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 cut-

ting or drilling in and around these areas.

Caution: In some cars, fuel tanks may be located directly beneath the rear deck. Check for adequate speaker basket clearance before considering this location!

Before drilling or cutting holes, use a utility knife to remove unwanted fabric or vinyl in order 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.
