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

instructions. Failure to mount the enclosure properly presents two prob lems:

caused by the force exerted by the woofer(s).
2) A loose enclosure presents a seriou s safety hazard in the event of a collision
or sudden deceleration.
