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.

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

instructions. Failure to mount the enclosure properly presents two pro blems:

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