PHYSICAL SPECIFICATIONS

*Xmax specifications are derived via one-way voice coil overhang method with no correction factors applied.

**Efficiency (1W/1m) is not an accurate indicator of a subwoofer???s output capability and should not be used as a comparison to other subwoofers to determine which one is ???louder??? !

We recommend the use of this speaker in a bi-amplified system using high-quality satellite speakers and amplifiers. We do not recommend the use of this subwoofer with a passive crossover (coil), as this type of device will adversely affect performance.

INCLUDED PARTS

???Six #8 x 1 3/8-inch (35 mm) phillips pan-head stainless-steel screws

???Six #8 stainless-steel washers

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

The diagram above shows the typical installation procedure into a fiberglass panel using the supplied hardware. Always follow proper safety procedures when working on a vessel. 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 wiring harnesses, fuel lines, hydraulic lines, etc. Use eye-protection at all times and a dust mask and gloves when cutting.

1)Choose a flat mounting surface that has sufficient depth and air space behind it to accept the subwoofer.

2)Cut a 8.875-inch (225 mm) diameter hole.

3)Run the speaker cable to the mounting location.

4)Place the woofer in the hole and mark the screw hole locations using a sharp, pointed tool.

5)Remove the woofer and drill a pilot hole (see chart on next page) in each of the screw

locations. It is also advisable to use a hand-driven countersink tool on each hole to further inhibit gel-coat cracking of fiberglass panels.

6)Connect the speaker wires and place the woofer, with its grille in place, into the opening

7)While holding the speaker firmly in its mounting location, evenly snug the mounting screws in a criss-cross pattern, then hand tighten in a criss- cross pattern.

Non-standard installations may require different hardware. Always use marine-grade, stainless-steel fasteners to ensure a secure, reliable installation.

While this speaker is designed to be water and spray resistant, it is not designed to be submerged or to withstand high-pressure water spray. Please exercise care when washing your boat to avoid damaging your speaker. Do not install on submersibles, personal watercraft or any other vessel likely to be under water at any time.

Prolonged exposure to sound pressure levels in excess of 100dB can cause permanent hearing loss. This high-performance speaker can exceed this level. Please exercise restraint in its operation in order to preserve your ability to enjoy its fidelity.

When installing a subwoofer in your vessel, it is extremely important to secure it firmly. This applies not only to the woofer itself, but also the structure it is mounted to. If not firmly attached, the speaker can become a dangerous projectile in a collision. Please review the mounting information carefully and use the supplied marine-grade hardware to mount this product.

SUBWOOFER INSTALLATION DIAGRAM

#8 SCREW: PILOT HOLE RECOMMENDATIONS

MEDIUM???GRAY (MINIMUM):

From a reliability standpoint, this zone represents a very comfortable operating power range for each driver. This level of power will not stress the woofer but will not extract all of its performance potential, either.

Use of less than the minimum power level will not damage the woofer, but may result in unsatisfactory performance.

LIGHT???GRAY (OPTIMUM):

This zone represents the best compromise between long-term reliability, high-output and low-distortion performance. This power level is lower than the woofer???s continuous power rating (as published in its specifications), but you will still be taking advantage of the woofer???s, low-distortion performance range without undue risk of failure.

DARK???GRAY (MAXIMUM):

Slightly more SPL will be gained by pushing the power into this zone, but typically not more than 2dB, compared to the light gray zone. The subwoofer driver is designed to operate safely up to this power range, but not beyond. Operate with caution.

BLACK (WARRANTY???VOID):

We do not recommend operating woofers at this level of power. In this zone, there is a very high probability that the driver will fail due to excessive heat and/or mechanical stress.

Subwoofer drivers operated at these levels of power are NOT covered under warranty.

JL AUDIO warrants this speaker to be free of defects in materials and workmanship for a period of two (2) years from the original date of purchase.

Damage caused by the following is not covered under warranty: accident, misuse, abuse, product modification or neglect, failure to follow installation instructions, unauthorized repair attempts, misrepresentations by the seller.
