THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING THIS JBL
e PRODUCT
This product has been designed
to
deliver great bass performance from a compact, easily installed enclosure. To get the best performance
from your enclosure, we strongly recommend that you entrust installation to a qualified professional. Although these instructions explain how
to
install your enclosure
in
a general sense, they
do
not show specific installation methods that may be required
for
your particular vehicle.
If
you
do
not
have the necessary tools
or
experience,
do
not attempt the installation yourself. Instead, please ask your authorized
JB
L• car
audio dealer about professional installation. To help us serve you better if your enclosure ever requires warranty service, please retain your
original sales receipt and serial number.
INSTALLATION WARNINGS AND TIPS
INSTALLATION TIPS
• Always wear protective eyewear when using tools.
• Turn off
all
audio components and other electrical devices before you start. Disconnect the negative
(-
) lead from your vehicl
e's
battery.
• Check clearances on both sides
of
a planned mounting surface. Be sure that screws
or
wires will
not
puncture brake lines, fuel lines or
wiring harnesses, and that wire routing will not interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle.
• When making electrical connections, make sure they are secure and properly insulated.
• Before drilling
or
cutting holes, use a utility knife
to
remove unwanted fabric or vinyl,
to
keep material from snagging in a drill bit
or
s
aw
.
• Do not mount speakers where they will get wet.
CHOOSING A MOUNTING LOCATION FOR THE ENCLOSURE
Choose a mounting location that doesn't interfere with cargo, the fold-down rear seat
or
the trunk lid. The best location is usually a corner
ofthe trunk
or
cargo area. Securely mount the enclosure
to
the mounting surface.

as
hinder your ability
to

CONNECTING THE SUBWOOFER ENCLOSURE
Setting the Impedance
The Series
II
Enclosures both feature the Selectable Smart lmpedanceTM
(SSI)
switch. This exclusive feature lets you set the subwoofer's impedance
to
either
2 ohms or 4 ohms with the flip
of
a switch (see illustration below). This allows
you
to
extract the most from your subwoofer amplifier
in
any situation.
The
SSI
2-ohm setting increases the subwoofer's output over the 4-ohm setting
by up
to
3dB, depending on the amplifier. Performance is identical
in
all other
respects.
If
the connected amplifier is rated for 2-ohm operation and its 2-ohm
power ratings are within the subwoofer's power-handling specifications, setting
the
SSI
switch
in
the 2-ohm position will achieve maximum output.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the subwoofer amplifier is turned
OFF
before setting
the
SSI
switch. Do not change the switch position while the subwoofer amplifier
is
operating. Doing so could damage the amplitier.
