P–42c, P–52c, P–62c Owner’s Manual

GENUINE JBL

Thank you for purchasing a JBL Power Series™ 2-Way Component System. We’ve organized this manual to make your installation as simple and trouble-free as possible. Please read through it completely before proceeding. If, after having read it, you decide that you would rather leave installation to a professional, consult your JBL Power Series Dealer.

Autosound at Its Best

Your JBL Component System is built to meet the same rigorous standards of construction and performance that have long established JBL’s renowned home and professional speaker systems. Your Component System has been designed using a combination of technologies that bring high value to high performance. The tweeter dome used in

your Component System tweeter is manufactured from a proprietary material known as Titanium Composite. This material combines the control and damping of an advanced polymer with the reinforcing stiffness of vapordeposited titanium to prevent breakup at high levels.

Similarly, the woofer cones are manufactured with a proprietary injection-molded titanium-composite cone in order to deliver the clarity and effortless power that have made JBL famous. This cone is suspended by a heavy butyl-rubber surround, which serves to absorb any remaining cone resonances for the clearest, most articulate reproduction of voices and other mid-range sounds.

As a bonus, the butyl-rubber surround is impervious to temperature extremes and humidity, making it ideal for automotive applications.

By following the installation recommendations and suggestions included in this manual, you will be assured of many years of trouble-free enjoyment from your Power Series loudspeakers.

Component System Parts

Your new Component System consists of a neodymium magnet tweeter and either a 4", 5-1/4", or 6-1/2" midwoofer. This system has also been supplied with an outboard crossover network to provide precision division of frequencies between the two components. Figure 2 is an illustration of the proper wiring procedure of the Component System.

Important Paperwork

Before proceeding, be sure to put the sales receipt from your JBL Component System purchase in a safe place. It is necessary to validate your Limited Warranty. Having access to the receipt is also valuable for insurance purposes and when it comes time to resell your vehicle.

Tweeter Installation

The tweeter has been supplied with both surfaceand flush-mount brackets. Figures 1 and 2 show the proper way to flushand surface-mount the tweeter. The mounting hole diameter of the flushmount frame is 1-7/16".
