Subaru Impreza Sedans

(will not fit sport wagons)

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 1 year 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 yourself, it is absolutely vital that the Stealthbox

be properly m ounted to the vehicle according to these

instructions. Failure to mount the enclosu re properly presents two problems:

1) The sub-bass performance will suf fer due to the movement of the enclosure caused by the force exerted by the woofe r(s).

2) A loose enclosure presents a serious s afety hazard in the event of a collisi on or sudden deceleration.

STEP 1

Remove the heavy carpet flooring from the trunk. Flip over the thin underlying carpeting, as shown in the picture at the right.
