Stealthbox Stealthbox SB-T-TACDC/10W1v2 User manual

INSTALLATION GUIDE
for the
SB-T-TACDC/10W1v2
2005 - Up Toyota Tacoma Double Cab
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.

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

tion in your weekly pay. Always wear eye protection
when drilling!

impression made in the wax square.
Remove the wax square.
STEP 11
From under the vehicle, place the supplied fender washers,
flat washers, lock washers and then hex nut onto the
protruding socket cup set screw and secure. Adjust the
amount of exposed thread on each cup set screw if
necessary.
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 10
Back out the socket cup set screw that was installed in
STEP 8, to expose 1 1/4-inch of the threads.
Place the Stealthbox®with the plastic panel back into the
mount area. Guide the socket cup set screw through the
drilled hole.
Run speaker wire from the amplifier’s location to the
Stealthbox®location and check for proper operation of
the woofer.

Stealthbox®, leaving 1/4-inch of the threads exposed.
Place the Stealthbox® with the modified plastic panel into
the mounting location and press firmly onto the Stealthbox®.

leaving the wax square in place. The socket cup set screw
will leave an impression onto the wax square.
