INSTALLATION GUIDE

for the

SB-F-EXPL3/10W3v3

SKU# 94520

2011

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.

STEP 1

POWER RECOMMENDATION

JL Audio recommends high quality amplifiers such as the JL Audio XD700/5 or XD300/1. 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 to provide signal for both channels of the amplifier. JL Audio reccommends

using 12AWG speaker wire for subwoofers such as our XC-BCS12-25.

MID/HIGH FREQUENCY DRIVER FITMENT
