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.
STEP 1
Remove the heavy carpet flooring from the trunk.
Flip over the thin underlying carpeting, as shown in the
picture at the right.

STEP 2
Locate and remove the round sticker that covers an exsisting
factory hole. The sticker will be painted the same color as the
exterior of the vehicle.
STEP 3
Enlarge this factory hole, using an Uni-bit® or 1/2-inch
drill bit.
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!

Carefully guide the socket cup set screw through the cuts
made in the carpeting and the enlarged hole.
From under the vehicle, apply supplied fender washer, flat
washer, lock washer and hex nut onto the exposed socket
cup set screw and secure.
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 5
Place the Stealthbox® into the trunk. Run speaker wire
from the amplifier location to the Stealthbox® and attach
to the terminal.
Check the woofer for proper operation.
Thread in the supplied socket cup set screw into the bottom
of the Stealthbox®, leaving 1-1/2-inches exposed.
STEP 4
Flip the thin carpet back into place. Feel for the hole enlarged
in STEP 3 and cut the thin carpet at the hole.
Place the heavy carpet flooring back into the trunk. Feel for
the hole enlarged in STEP 3 and cut the flooring at the hole.
