INSTALLATION GUIDE
for the
SLPK-CAN-SPYDER1
SKU#94491& 94490
Thank you for choosing a JL Audio Slampak®for your motorcycle sound system. With proper
installation, your new vehicle-specific enclosed 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 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.
S T E P 1
Empty out the front storage space of the motorcycle so that
you have a clean area to work in.

STEP 21
Drill the holes as marked through the fairing, each hole
needs to be 5/16” in diameter.
Before drilling, always make sure that you are not
going to be drilling into any gas lines, brake lines,
tires, transmission lines, electrical wiring, exhaust
systems or anything else that might cause a
reduction in your weekly pay.
Always wear eye protection when drilling!
STEP 23
Run the speaker wire through the bottom hole drilled in
STEP 21 as shown.
STEP 22
Looking through the gauge cluster location, install the “U-
Bolt” around the steel dash structure and through the two
upper holes drilled in STEP 21.
STEP 20
alignment of the front of each pod, once both front and rear
alignment is achieved, use a marker to make marks on the
masking tape shown in STEP 17 through the holes in the
pods identified in STEP 18.
If you are ONLY installing the pods and NOT the full system,
You have completed your installation of the pods.
Run the wire from either side of the fairing to your source (or amplifier) location.
Enjoy your new Slampak®!
STEP 26
Under the seat, directly above the fuse panel, you’ll notice a
grounding point, this is an excellent location to get a good
ground for the amplifier, secure the ring terminal for the
ground to this point. Run the ground cable so that it can
integrate into the Split Loom with the positive battery cable.
Again,
Make sure on all cabling runs to secure all wires when
running them so that they cannot get tangled in any
moving parts or the exhaust system.
STEP 25
Locate the battery above the rear tire, disconnect the
negative battery terminal. Secure the fuse holder close to
the terminal, remove the fuse. Attach the ring terminal for
the positive battery run to the positive battery terminal and
run the cable from the battery terminal to the fuse holder.
Attach the cable to the fuse holder. Attach the remaining
cable to the output of the fuse holder and run it through the
included Split Loom.
Make sure on all cabling runs to secure all wires when
running them so that they cannot get tangled in any
moving parts or the exhaust system.
STEP 24
Set each pod into position, with the “U-Bolt” coming
through the two upper holes and the wire coming through
the bottom hole. Secure the pod to the motorcycle using
the included 1/4 x 1” Fender Washer and 1/4” Nyloc Nut on
each leg of the “U-Bolt”, tighten using a rotation method
similar to changing a tire so that both legs are tightened
simultaneously.
Hook up the wire to the speaker and, re-install speakers into
pods.

Again, secure all cables along the full run to ensure that
they cannot get tangled in any moving parts or the exhaust
system.
The signal and speaker wires will join with the power cables
that came up the side of the motorcycle and all enter the
front storage compartment through the hole drilled in STEP
8, as shown by arrow.
S T E P 2 9
From the gauge cluster location, there should be the two
speaker wires, the wire for the Remote Level Control (it looks
like a phone cord), the small gauge blue remote turn on wire
(included) and the signal cable.
Many people find it easier to run the mini plug on the signal
cable up from the amplifier location than running the rca’s
on the amplifier end of that cable down. If you choose to
run that cable up, run a “pull line” or, string along with it, that
way, once the run is made, you can use the pull line to pull
the other cables down towards the amplifier.
S T E P 2 8
Make sure that the cabling is secured so that there is no
way that it can get tangled in any moving parts on the
motorcycle, including steering, suspension, exhaust or
passengers. The cable will be joined by the speaker wire,
signal wire for the RLC and signal from the source, just before
it enters the front storage compartment (through the hole
drilled in STEP 8, as shown by arrow.)
S T E P 2 7
Run the power cables up the right hand side of the
motorcycle, securing it as described earlier at regular
intervals alongside the frame or other cable runs.

STEP 32
Follow the included instructions for installing the XD400/4,
the small blue wire that was run down from the Gauge
cluster area needs to be spliced in to a accessory switched
power source so that the amplifier turns off when the
motorcycle is turned off. If the amplifier remains on when
the motorcycle is turned off, there is strong potential for
battery drainage! All connections should be made at this
time.
After all connections are made, review the schematic on
page 6, make sure that all wires are where they belong.
STEP 34
CONGRATULATIONS!
You have completed the installation for this model!
Enjoy your new Slampak®!
Please refer to the Power Recommendation section for sug-
gestions on basic amplifier set-up help. For further details on
the amplifier, please reference the amplifier owners manual
(included).
STEP 33
Double check all connections, once everything has been
confirmed as good, install the fuse near the battery.
Re-install all removed bodywork, don’t miss any of the
hardware.
STEP 31
To mount the Remote level control, determine a convenient
and safe location, drill a 3/8” hole,
Before drilling, always make sure that you are not
going to be drilling into any gas lines, brake lines,
tires, transmission lines, electrical wiring, exhaust
systems or anything else.
Always wear eye protection when drilling!
Gently but firmly, pull the knob off of the control, use the
supplied washers and nut to “sandwich” the surface you just
drilled the hole in, mount the control, replace the knob.
