SlamPak™Thank you for choosing a JL Audio SlamPak™ for your marine sound system.
With proper installation, your new marine audio sound system
will deliver years of listening pleasure.
We strongly recommend that you have your new SlamPak™ 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 vessel 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 SlamPak™ be properly mounted to the vessel
according to these instructions.
Failure to mount the enclosures presents a serious safety hazard in
the event of a collision, rollover, or sudden deceleration.
