! IMPORTANT

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.

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-PCS8-1B 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 recommends using 12AWG speaker wire for subwoofers such as our XC-BCS12-25.
