1 INSTALLATION GUIDE for the SB-C-CTS/10TW3 SKU# & Up Cadillac CTS/CTS-V 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.

2 POWER RECOMMENDATION JL Audio recommends high quality amplifiers such as the JL Audio XD300/1. The diagram below shows the recommended crossover settings for the XD300/1. For a detailed description of the amplifier settings, consult the owner s manual for the amplifier. If another amplifier is being used, please reference this illustration and use similar settings on that amplifier. 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-PCS4-1B 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 to provide signal for both channels of the amplifier. JL Audio reccomends using 12AWG speaker wire for subwoofers.
