Thank you for choosing JL Audio Marine

Enclosed Speaker Systems. With proper

installation, your new speakers will deliver years

of listening pleasure.

We strongly recommend that you have your

Enclosed Speaker Systems installed by your

authorized JL Audio dealer. The installation

professionals employed by your dealer have the

necessary tools and experience to properly install

this product. If you prefer to perform your own

installation, please read this and the instructions

included with your Mounting Fixtures (sold

separately) completely before beginning the process.

Installation of this product requires use of

JL Audio® Mounting Fixtures (sold separately).

No other method of installation should be

attempted. To avoid injury, installation

instructions included with the JL Audio®.

Mounting Fixtures MUST be followed precisely.

Do not attempt to remove the LEDs from from the

speakers. The LEDs are permanently fixed and

attempting to remove them will cause damage and

this damage will not be covered under warranty.

NOTE: Illustration may not be to scale.

TRANSFLECTIVE™ RGB LED LIGHTING

Illuminated speaker models are equipped with

our innovative Transflective™ RGB LED lighting

system (patent pending). Fully integrated into the

speaker chassis, state-of-the-art LED rings are

positioned behind the woofer cones to produce

vibrant accent lighting that is remarkably smooth

and even, with no hot spots. A cable harness exiting

the enclosure includes wire leads for speaker and

LED connections. Refer to the Wiring Harness Info

table for individual RGB wire connection info.

Note: Wiring connections at each speaker location

are required for LED functionality.

Adjustable control of RGB lighting may be

achieved with the use of an RGB lighting controller

(sold separately). Note: When selecting an RGB

lighting controller, make sure that the total

amperage demands of all LED circuits does not

exceed the output capacity of the controller.

Refer to the RGB LED Specifications table for the

individual current draw amounts and sum (add)

the total. For optimal performance, we recommend

using the JL Audio marine lighting controller

(MLC-RW).

DIRECT LED WIRING

Alternatively, you may hard wire individual leads

or a combination of leads to achieve up to seven

different LED color assortments. Refer to the Direct

LED Wiring Info table for the wire colors used to

achieve specif ic LED colors.

LED WIRING CONSIDERATIONS

• Do not connect to 24V electrical systems.

• Do not connect the speakers’ LED lights to the

vessel’s navigational lighting circuits.

• For short-circuit protection, we recommend

installing a fuse (not included) at E ACH spe a ker’s

YELLOW (+12V) LED power connection lead.

Refer to the RGB LED Specifications table for

recommended fuse ratings.

• We recommend a minimum of 16AWG wire size

for each speaker’s LED connection circuits.

• In addition to the above, we recommend

activating the speakers’ LEDs thru a cabin/

interior lighting circuit that supplies +12V via an

existing switch. If an existing switched circuit

is not available, you may install a dedicated

toggle/rocker style switch that will supply

positive (+12V) power. Fuse this main +12V

connection according to the total amperage

demands of all LED circuits. Refer to the RGB

LED Specifications table for individual current

draw amounts and recommended fuse ratings.

INCLUDED PARTS

• Two Aluminum Logo Caps

• One Tube of Silicone Adhesive

• Eight Red Butt Splice Connectors (#22-18 AWG)

• Four Blue Butt Splice Connectors (#16-14 AWG)
