Thank you for choosing a JL Audio StealthMod® System for your automotive sound system.
With proper installation, your new vehicle-specific audio system
will deliver years of listening pleasure.
We strongly recommend that you have your new StealthMod® System 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. If you prefer to perform your
own installation, please read this installation guide completely before beginning the process.
If you choose to per form the installation yoursel f, it is abso lutely vital that
the Stealthbox

be properly mo unted to the vehicle according to these
instructions . Failure to mount the enclosure prop erly presents two problems:
1) The sub-bass per formance will suffer due to the movement of the enclosure
caused by the force exe rted by the woofer(s).
2) A loose enclosure pres ents a serious safety haza rd in the event of a collision
or sudden deceleration.
