INSTALLATION GUIDE
for the
SB-B-7SER/10W6v2
SKU#94488
2002-2008
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.

JL Audio recommends high quality amplifiers such as the JL Audio HD1200/1, HD750/1 1000/1v2 or J2 1000.1. The
diagram below shows the recommended crossover, infrasonic filter and equalizer settings for the HD750/1. 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.
C O N N E C T I O N S
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 that will provide signal for both channels of the amplifier. JL Audio
recommends using 12AWG speaker wire for subwoofers such as our XC-BCS12-25.

There are options for further upgrades to the sound system in this vehicle. JL Audio strongly suggests discussing
those options with a local authorized dealer who can help engineer anything from other simple upgrades to
extravagant customizations.
