POWER RECOMMENDATION
JL Audio recommends high quality ampliers such as the JL Audio HD900/5, 500/1v2 or XD600/1.
The diagram below shows the recommended crossover settings for the XD600/1. If another amplier is being
used, please reference this illustration and use similar settings on that amplier.
All JL Audio ampliers are very versatile audio components. Please consult the owner’s manual for even more
detailed information about installing and tuning your amplier.
CONNECTIONS
Using quality power, signal, and speaker wire is essential in ensuring the performance of your Stealthbox®.
JL Audio recommends using a 4 AWG power kit such as the XD-PCS4-1B for your Stealthbox® amplier. Other
kits are available should you be using more than one amplier. Signal wire such as the JL Audio Premium
Audio Interconnect Cables should be used that will provide signal for both channels of the amplier. JL Audio
reccommends using 12AWG speaker wire for subwoofers such as our XC-BCS12-25.
