It is absolutely vital that the enclosure 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) and
2) A loose enclosure presents a serious safety hazard in the event of a collision or sudden deceleration.
Please enjoy your JL Audio Stealthbox responsibly.
