Speaker Placement  
Because of the Power Series speakers’  
versatile mounting options, there are  
many placement options that will achieve  
excellent sound quality in your vehicle.  
Please consider the following to help you  
get the most from your speakers.  
1. The most spacious stereo image is  
achieved when the left and right speakers  
are placed as far apart as possible.  
2. The best center image will be achieved  
when the distance from the left speaker  
and the right speaker are as equal as pos-  
sible from your listening position. This is  
most easily achieved by placing the  
speakers as far forward as possible.  
3. Treble is directional in nature. This  
means that high frequencies are reduced  
as you move off the tweeters axis. If pos-  
sible, rotate the speakers so that the angle  
of the tweeter points across the car to the  
listener on the opposite side. This will  
make each listener slightly off-axis to the  
tweeter that is closest to that listener, but  
on axis to the most distant speaker, which  
helps compensate for the fact that each  
listener is always closer to one speaker  
than to the other (see Figures 4a and 4b).  
Choosing mounting locations that satisfy  
all of the above criteria will provide the  
most satisfying performance.  
A Note on Power Handling  
As a result of their high efciency, all JBL  
loudspeakers will produce reasonable  
volume levels in the automotive environ-  
ment using very little amplier power.  
However, the use of a small amplier to  
attain very high volume levels could lead  
to overdriving the amplier. This will  
generate high distortion levels which can  
easily damage loudspeakers, even if the  
rated power of the amplier is below the  
rated maximum power handling of the  
loudspeaker!  
As a general rule, do not turn up the  
volume control past the point where  
you hear distortion in the form of either  
signal distortion from an overdriven  
amplier or mechanical noise from an  
overstressed speaker.  
For the best performance and speaker  
reliability, you should select an amplier  
with an output rating slightly higher than  
the maximum power likely to be used to  
generate the desired volume levels. This  
margin of reserve power will ensure that  
the amplier will not attempt to deliver  
more power than its design allows.

Installation Warnings  
and Tips  
Be careful not to cut or drill into fuel  
tanks, fuel lines, brake or hydraulic lines,  
vacuum lines or electrical wiring when  
working on your vehicle. Inspect behind  
panels before you cut or drill.  
Make sure that the speaker will  
physically t in the mounting location. If  
door mounting, check for adequate clear-  
ance with the window in both closed and  
open positions as well as for interference  
with the window crank and power  
window mechanism. If mounting else-  
where, check for clearance around rear  
deck torsion bars, glove box or other  
structural elements.  
Do not mount speakers where they will  
get wet.  
Make sure that it will be easy to run  
connecting wires to the speakers. Trace  
speaker wire paths before you undertake  
mounting.

System Design  
A more advanced system design can be  
achieved by adding a Decade,GT,  
Power, GTi, or equivalent subwoofer to  
your Power Series speakers. In this case  
the Power Series multi-element speakers  
will be used as high and midbass fre-  
quency drivers and should have their  
extremely low frequencies blocked by  
electrical means. Active or passive  
crossovers can be used in order to  
achieve the best system delity and  
widest dynamic range. A crossover fre-  
quency of between 80Hz and 120Hz is  
recommended for the best imaging and  
widest dynamic range.  
WARNING: Playing loud music over  
120dB can permanently damage your  
hearing. The maximum volume levels  
achievable with JBL speakers combined  
with high power amplication may  
exceed safe levels for extended listening.  
When listening at high volume levels,  
always use hearing protection or turn the  
volume down!  
Always disconnect the ground wire from  
the battery before doing any work on the  
vehicle.  
CAUTION: Fuel tanks are located directly  
beneath the rear deck in some cars. Check  
for adequate speaker basket clearance  
before considering this location!

Service  
Should your loudspeaker ever need ser-  
vice, return it to the JBL dealer from  
whom it was purchased. If for some rea-  
son this is impractical, call 800-336-4JBL  
for your nearest warranty station. Do not  
return products to the JBL factory with-  
out prior authorization.  
General Care  
The loudspeaker grilles may be cleaned  
with a slightly damp cloth.  
Safety Note  
To avoid the dangers of accidental suffo-  
cation, please properly dispose of the  
plastic bag used in the speaker packaging.  
Do not use any cleaners or solvents on  
the grilles or the speaker drivers.
