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 1 year 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.

Stealthbox®.

STEP 9
Note: Before drilling, make sure that you are not
going to be drilling into any gas lines, brake lines,
transmission lines, electrical wiring, transfer case
(4x4 vehicles) or anything else that might cause
a reduction in your weekly pay. Always wear eye
protection when drilling!
With a drill and a 1/2-inch drill bit, drill through the
impression made in the wax square. Remove the wax square.
STEP 11
Place the supplied lock washer, flat washers and then fender
washer onto the hex bolt.
From under the car place the hex bolt assembly up through
the floor and into the threaded insert on the bottom of the
Stealthbox®.
Secure the bolt assembly.
Note: For added protection, it is recommended that
you apply a bead of silicone between the vehicle and
the fender washer. After the bolt assembly is tightly
secured, it is also recommended that vehicle under-
coating material is applied to the exposed assembly.
STEP 10
Run speaker wire from the amplifier location to the
Stealthbox® location and check for proper operation of
the woofer.
Back out the hex bolt that was installed in Step 6.
Place the Stealthbox® back into the mounting area.
STEP 8
Press down on to the Stealthbox® firmly.
Remove the Stealthbox® carefully, leaving the wax square in
place. The hex bolt will leave an impression onto the wax.
