INSTALLATION GUIDE
for the
SB-POL-RNGR/SYS
SKU#94425
2004-2008
Thank you for choosing a JL Audio Stealthbox®for your all-terrain vehicle. With proper installation,
your new vehicle-specific enclosed speaker 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. 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
enclosures 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
Many of the following steps will be repeated on both
sides of the vehicle.
Remove the five screws that secure each of the kick
panels.
(see circled areas, there are also two inside)

The kick panels can be removed by pulling up at the bottom
and towards the rear, hinging the panel backwards and out.

Before test fitting the subwoofer enclosure, make yourself
familiar with the location of the threaded insert on the top of
the enclosure.
From the passengers side, test fit the subwoofer enclosure
into the dash with the raised part of the enclosure going up
and, behind the dash cross-dash bar as shown.
Now is a good time to test the performance of the
Subwoofer.
