SBA-J-JKU-UAR

SKU# 99841

2007-2017 Jeep Wrangler (JK)

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. If you prefer to perform your own installation, please read

this installation guide completely before beginning the process.

If you choose to perform the installation yourself, it is absolutely

vital that the Stealthbox®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).

2) A loose enclosure presents a serious safety hazard in the event of a

collision or sudden deceleration.
