GETTING STARTED:

• Turn off the audio system. It is also advisable to disconnect the negative ( ) terminal of your vehicle's battery whenever performing installation work.
• Before cutting, drilling or inserting any screw, check clearances on both sides of the planned mounting surface. Also check for any potential obstacles, such as window tracks and motors, wiring harnesses, etc. Check both sides of the car, many cars are not symmevical!
  • Always wear protective eyewear.

INSTALLING YOUR TR350-CXI

COAXIALS IN FACTORY LOCATIONS:

If you will be using the factory speaker wires, it may be necessary to change the terminations. This may be accomplished by using an adaptor plug or simply by cutting the factory connector of and using the supplied crimp connectors to terminate the speaker wires. The large connector is for the positive terminal and the small connector is for the negative terminal of each TR350-CXI. You may also choose to run new speaker wires...refer to the custom installation section for details. Whichever method you choose, observe correct polarity in your connections. If you are unsure about any of these issues, contact your JL AUDIO dealer for installation assistance.

Your new speakers have been designed to install, without modifications, into most vehicles that accept a 3.5-inch speaker. Most factory 3.5-inch speakers use two mounting screws which will line up with the mounting holes on your TR350-CXI speakers.

It is absolutely vital that the speaker frame fits into the mounting hole cleanly. This must be checked prior to tightening the screws. Do not force the frame into a hole that is too small. Do not tighten the speaker onto an uneven surface! This will damage your speakers. The speaker should also fit so that no air leaks around the mounting flange. Air leaks will cause a severe degradation in sound quality. Seal any air leaks with silicone, rope caulk or similar sealant material.

Install as shown in the diagram here. Use the supplied mounting clips unless the factory holes already feature threaded inserts. Hand-tighten the screws evenly to avoid bending the speaker frame!

INSTALLING YOUR TR350-CXI

COAXIALS IN CUSTOM LOCATIONS:

Run speaker wire to the desired mounting location. If you are running wires into a door, use existing factory wiring boots whenever possible. If you are drilling new holes file their edges and install rubber grommets into each hole. Then cover the wires with a protective PVC sleeve and run them through the door jamb. Make sure that the wires will clear door hinges and other structures in the door. If you are unsure about any part of this process, please contact your JL AUDIO dealer for installation help.

Double check the clearance for both speakers before proceeding.

Cut a 3/16-inch (81mm) diameter hole. Before drilling or cutting, use a utility knife to cut any fabric, vinyl or learner from hole locations. These materials can easily be snagged by a drill or a saw, causing damage to the panel and possible bodily injury. Then, using a saber saw, hole saw or nibbler; make the circular cut out for the speaker. File any rough edges.

Once the hole is cut, place the speaker into the hole and mark the screw positions through the mounting tabs. Drill two 1/8" (3 mm) holes for the speaker's mounting screws at the positions you have marked.

Insert the mounting clips with the flat side towards the speaker as shown in the diagram.

It is absolutely vital that the speaker frame its into the mounting hole cleanly. This must be checked prior to tightening the screws. Do not force the frame into a hole that is too small. Do not tighten the speaker onto an uneven surface! This will damage your speakers. The speaker should also fit so that no air leaks around the mounting flange. Air leaks will cause a severe degradation in sound quality. Seal any air leaks with silicone, rope caulk or similar sealant material.

Connect the speaker wires, observing correct polarity, and install the speaker as shown. Hand-tighten the screws evenly to avoid bending the speaker frame!

Because 3.5-Inch speakers are rarely used for custom mounting, grilles are not supplied with the TR350-CXi speakers. Should you need them, you will need to purchase aftermarket grilles separately.
