This manual applies to both single and dual Stealthbox® installations.
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® 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(s).
2) A loose enclosure presents a serious safety hazard in the event of a collision
or sudden deceleration.
S T E P 1
Remove anything stored behind the rear seats and fold both
seats forward.
Test Stealthbox® for proper operation before
continuing!
Using a Phillips head screwdriver remove the woofer(s)
from the enclosure(s). The grille(s) do not need to be
removed from the woofer(s)! They were removed in later
pictures for this document but they do not need to be.
S T E P 2
Along the outside of the plastic panel that covers the back
of the cab on the drivers side, locate the seam between
the back and, side panels. Line up the first (or only)
enclosure with this seam.
If installing two enclosures, verify that there is adequate
room between the first enclosure and the elevated part
of the rear panel on the passengers side (as seen in the
photo for step (1)) to fit the second enclosure.

Using a 1/8" drill, use the hole in the enclosure centered
behind the woofer as a guide, to drill a hole through the
plastic (and only the plastic) that covers the back of the
cab.
*CAUTION*
Before drilling, always make sure that you are not
going to be drilling into any gas lines, brake lines,
transmission lines, electrical wiring, exhaust systems
or anything else that might cause a reduction in
your weekly pay. Always wear eye protection when
drilling.

If installing two Stealthbox® enclosures, center the second
enclosure between the first and the raised portion of the rear
panel. Repeat Step 3 for the second enclosure.
***Please follow safe drilling procedures***
After the guide hole is drilled, enlarge the hole in
the Stealthbox® to 3/8", this hole will eventually mount
the enclosure.
S T E P 5
Remove the enclosure and ensure that the rear window
of the truck is in the UP position. Using the hole that was
drilled in steps 3,4 as a guide, drill a 1/8" hole through the
metal panel that is behind the interior plastic panel (make
sure to drill a hole for each Stealthbox® installed). Use caution to drill only through the metal panel.
Repeat this step if installing second Stealthbox®.
***Please follow safe drilling procedures***
S T E P 6 There are two anchors for cargo in the
upper corners of the rear plastic trim panel. These two
anchors need to be removed in order to remove the
trim panel. To remove these, pull on the outside of the
anchor top section it will pull out, allowing the anchor
itself to collapse and be pulled out.
S T E P 7
Enlarge the 1/8" holes previously drilled step 3 and 4
in the plastic trim to 3/8".
S T E P 8
Unplug the power harness from the rear window motor.
S T E P 9
Remove metal rear cab panel (black panel) from the inside
of the truck by removing all interior bolts from perimeter.

S T E P 6 ( d E T A I l )
Remove the interior rear plastic trim panel. This panel is
held in with push-in plastic fasteners that will pull out
relatively easily when the panel itself is gently pulled
from around the edges.

Now is an excellent oppurtunity to install some sound deadening material to the inside of the back of the cab of the
truck. We also suggest covering the back of the metal panel
that was just removed in step 9 with a sound deadening
material.
