INSTALLATION WARNINGS AND TIPS
THANK YOU
for purchasing JBL CS Series
automotive speakers. We’ve
organized this manual to make
your installation as simple and
trouble-free as possible. Please
read it thoroughly before
proceeding. Remember to keep
your sales receipt and this manual
in a safe place so both are available
for future reference. ABOUT THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
Installation of automotive stereo
components can require extensive
experience with a variety of
mechanical and electrical
procedures. Although these
instructions explain how to install
CS Series multielement speakers in
a general sense, they do not show
the exact installation methods for
your particular vehicle. If you do not
feel you have the experience, do not
attempt the installation yourself, but
instead ask your authorized JBL car
audio dealer about professional
installation options.
LOUD MUSIC
AND HEARING
Playing loud music in an automobile
can hinder your ability to hear traffic
as well as permanently damage
your hearing. The maximum volume
levels achievable with JBL
speakers, combined with high
power amplification, may exceed
safe levels for extended listening.
We recommend using low volume
levels when driving. JBL accepts
no liability for hearing loss, bodily
injury, or property damage as a result
of use or misuse of this product.
REAR DECK
PRECAUTION
In some cars, fuel tanks may be
located directly beneath the rear
deck. Before installation, make sure
there is adequate speaker basket
clearance before considering this
location!
INSTALLATION TIPS
• Always wear protective eyewear
when using any tools.
• Turn off all audio components and
other electrical devices before you
start. Disconnect the (–) negative
lead from your vehicle’s battery.
• Keep speakers in their package
until final installation. When moving
a speaker, always rest it with the
cone or dome facing up. Never use
force to install any speaker.
• Check clearances on both sides of
a planned mounting surface before
drilling any holes or installing any
screws. Remember that the screws
can extend behind the surface.
• At the installation sites, locate
and make a note of all fuel lines,
hydraulic brake lines, vacuum
lines and electrical wiring. Use
extreme caution when cutting or
drilling in and around these areas.
• Before drilling or cutting holes, use
a utility knife to remove unwanted
fabric or vinyl, to keep material
from snagging in a drill bit or saw.
• For door installations, check the
clearance with the windows
throughout the range of the
window’s travel, and verify that a
mounted speaker will not interfere
with the window crank or power
window mechanism.
• If mounting speakers elsewhere,
check for clearance around rear
deck torsion bars, glove box or
other structural elements.
• Do not mount speakers where they
will get wet.
