SB-N-PTHFNDR/10WØ Stealthbox™
Fits 1996 - 1999 Nissan Pathfinder
and Infiniti QX4
Installation Guide:
This Stealthbox is a product which requires professional installation skills and tools. Please read this
installation guide thoroughly before beginning the project. It will guide you step by step through the
installation. Several of the steps in this process may require two people to accomplish.
It is absolutely vital that the enclosure be properly mounted to the vehicle according to these 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 and 2) A
loose enclosure presents a serious safety hazard in the event of a collision or sudden deceleration.
STEP 1: In the hatch area, pull up the carpet from the floor on
the driver side to expose the padding underneath.
STEP 2: Place the Stealthbox in its mounting position.
STEP 3: Cut the padding along the edge of the Stealthbox.
After final installation, the Stealthbox should sit only on a layer
of carpet so that it more easily couples to the body of the
vehicle.
STEP 4: Remove the Stealthbox from the vehicle, then remove
the padding that was cut off in the previous step.
STEP 5: Adjust the cargo hook so that it is pushed forward. If
this step is neglected the Stealthbox may not fit properly and
the hook will be unusable.

STEP 6: Remove the evaporative fuel recovery canister from
under the vehicle. To do this first remove the three 12mm bolts
holding the canister in place. Then carefully disconnect all the
hoses and wires attached to the canister. Remove the canister.
STEP 7: Thread the supplied 3/8" X 1 1/2" bolts into the
threaded inserts in the Stealthbox. Tighten fully.
STEP 8: Place the supplied 3" X 3" wax squares, sticky side
down, in the area of the Stealthbox mounting holes as shown.
STEP 9: Place the Stealthbox in position. Press down on the
Stealthbox to leave a clear indent in each wax square. Remove the
Stealthbox.
STEP 10: Check under the vehicle to be sure there are no loose
brake lines, fuel lines, etc. that may be contacted while drilling.
CAUTION: Always wear eye protection when drilling!
STEP 11: Drill 1/2" diameter hole through the floor of the vehicle
in the location of the indentation in each of the wax squares.
STEP 12: Remove the wax squares from the vehicle.
STEP 13: Place the carpet back in its original position. Make an
"X" shaped incision in the carpet above each mounting hole.
