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
Empty out the trunk of the vehicle so that you have a clean
area to work in.

POWER RECOMMENDATION
JL Audio recommends high quality amplifiers such as the XD300/1 or J2 250.1. The diagram below shows
the recommended crossover settings for the XD300/1. If another amplifier is being used, please reference this
illustration and use similar settings on that amplifier.
All JL Audio amplifiers are very versatile audio components. Please consult the owner’s manual for even more
detailed information about installing and tuning your amplifier.
CONNECTIONS
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 XD-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.
