Thank you for choosing a JL Audio Stealthbox® for your automotive sound system. With proper
installation, your new vehicle-specific enclosed subwoofer system will deliver years of listening pleasure.
We strongly recommend that you have your new Stealthbox® installed by your authorized JL Audio
dealer. The installation professionals employed by your dealer have the necessary tools and experience
to disassemble and reassemble your vehicle properly. Also, keep in mind that your warranty coverage
extends to 2 years if your system is installed or approved by your authorized JL Audio dealer. If you
prefer to perform your own installation, please read this installation guide completely
before beginning the process.
If you choose to perform the installation yourself, it is absolutely vital that
the Stealthbox
instructions. Failure to mount the enclosure properly presents two problems:
1) The sub-bass performance will suffer due to the movement of the enclosure
caused by the force exerted by the woofer(s).
2) A loose enclosure presents a serious safety hazard in the event of a collision
or sudden deceleration.

be properly mounted to the vehicle according to these
S T E P 1
These instructions are for both the short and long
wheelbase versions of this popular SUV.
Empty out the back of the vehicle so that you have a clean
area to work in.
Remove the pocket in the rear quarter interior trim panel on
the drivers side of the vehicle by pulling it up and out. The
wire to power the Stealthbox® needs to come from this open
area, now would be a good time to run that wire. Leave
enough extra to make it easy to make the connection to the
Stealthbox® before it is permanently mounted.
S T E P 2
Looking down through the hole where the pocket had been,
notice the three studs installed at the factory. These studs
will be used to hold down the enclosure.
S T E P 3
The Triangular Plate will be positioned as shown with center
the hole closest to the stud pointing towards the center of
the vehicle..

One way to get the Hex Head Bolt and Flat Washer installed
from the inside of the rear pillar out is to tape them to a
wrench and then guide them through the recently drilled
hole. Once this hardware is in place, tighten all of the
hardware that secures the Custom Bracket in location. With
the Custom Bracket securely installed, replace the upper rear
quarter window trim molding that was removed in STEP 7.

JL Audio recommends high quality amplifiers such as the JL Audio HD900/5, 500/1v2, XD600/1 or J2 500.1. The
diagram below shows the recommended crossover, infrasonic filter and equalizer settings for the 500/1v2. If
another amplifier is being used, please reference this illustration and use similar settings on that amplifier.
All JL Audio amplifiers are very versatile audio components. Please consult the owner’s manual for even more
detailed information about installing and tuning your amplifier.
C O N N E C T I O N S
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 XC-PCS4-1B for your Stealthbox® amplifier, other
kits are available should you be using more than one amplifier. Signal wire such as the JL Audio Premium
Audio Interconnect Cables should be used that will provide signal for both channels of the amplifier. JL Audio
reccommends using 12AWG speaker wire for subwoofers such as our XC-BCS12-25.
