INSTALLATION GUIDE
for the

SKU# 94543
2010 - Up
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 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.
