SKU# 94517
2007 -Up BMW X5
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. Also, keep in mind that your warranty coverage extends to 2 years if your system is
installed or approved by your authorized JL Audio dealer. 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.

POWER RECOMMENDATION
JL Audio recommends high quality amplifiers such as the JL Audio XD700/5 or XD300/1. The diagram below shows
the recommended crossover settings for the XD300/1. If another amplifier is being used, please reference this
illustration and use similar settings on that amplifier.
All JL Audio amplifiers are very versatile audio components. Please consult the owner’s manual for even more
detailed information about installing and tuning your amplifier.
CONNECTIONS
Using quality power, signal, and speaker wire is essential in ensuring the performance of your Stealthbox®.
JL Audio recommends using a 4 AWG power kit such as the XC-PCS4-1B for your Stealthbox® amplifier. Other
kits are available should you be using more than one amplifier. Signal wire such as the JL Audio Premium Audio
Interconnect Cables should be used to provide signal for both channels of the amplifier. JL Audio reccommends
using 12AWG speaker wire for subwoofers such as our XC-BCS12-25.
