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.
S T E P 1
Empty out the trunk of the car so that you have a clean area

Make sure that the back seat area is also cleaned out as the
Stealthbox® is put in from the front.
S T E P 3
Connect the wire to the Stealthbox®, make sure that you
note the polarity as the connections are made. Test that
your amplifier and Stealthbox® are functioning correctly.
Familiarize yourself with the locations off the threaded
inserts in the enclosure. There are two on the bottom
surface towards either end and one centered along the top
of the front (the woofers are mounted on the back) of the
Stealthbox®.

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, reference this illustration and use similar settings on that amplifier.

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
reccommends using 12AWG speaker wire for subwoofers such as our XC-BCS12-25.
