INSTALLATION GUIDE
for the
SB-VW-JETNCS/10W1v3
SKU# 94533
2011 & Up Volkswagen Jetta
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.
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.
STEP 1
Empty out the trunk of the car so that you have a clean area
to work in.
STEP 2
Remove the two clips holding the rear of the trunk liner in
place.

your authorized JL Audio dealer. If you prefer to perform your own installation,

POWER RECOMMENDATION
JL Audio recommends high quality ampliers such as the JL Audio XD300/1v2. The diagram below shows the
recommended crossover settings for the XD300/1v2. 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-PCS8-1B 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
recommends using 12AWG speaker wire for subwoofers such as our XC-BCS12-25.
