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 all contents from the rear seating area.
Fold the rear seating up.

from the rear seat forward and along the driver’s side edge
of the transmission hump, as seen in the picture at left.
STEP 3
Thread in a supplied socket cup screw into the bottom insert
of the Stealthbox®, leaving 1-inch exposed.

Step 3, leaving 1 1/2-inches of thread exposed.
STEP 9
Cut enough speaker wire to allow the run from the
Stealthbox®location to the amplifier location.

Stealthbox®. Check the woofer for proper operation.
STEP 7
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!
With a drill and a 1/2-inch drill bit, drill through the
impression made in the wax square and into the vehicle’s
transmission hump. Once the drill bit breaks through the
metal floor, do not force it any more. A cross-member runs
on the outside under the floor. Remove the wax square and
cut the carpet from the area around the drilled hole.
