SB-B-5SER/12W6v2

2004 - Up 5 Series

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.
